The Canterbury Bell Fairy

Wednesday, August 08, 2012 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Bells that ring from ancient towers-
Canterbury Bells-
Give their name to summer flowers-
Canterbury Bells!
Do the flower-fairies, playing,
Know what those great bells are saying?
Fairy, in your purple hat,
Little fairy, tell us that!

"Naught I know of bells in towers-
Canterbury Bells!
Mine are pink or purple flowers-
Canterbury Bells!
When I set them all a-swaying,
Something, too, my bells are saying,
Can't you hear them --ding-dong-ding--
Calling fairy-folk to sing?

As you probably know I love the Flower Fairies. Have now decided to make a quilt of them all when I have enough, so will start collecting.

Sarah Kay

Sunday, August 05, 2012 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Well, I have finally had another finish. They seem to be few and far between this year, but I am doing just as much stitching - I just seem to be into doing bigger pieces atm, not all the little ones in between that I usually do. I stitched this for some friends that are having a baby girl any day now. I remember Sarah Kay designs from when I was a kid and just adore them. I stitched it on Blueberry hand dyed Jobelan (does look quite grey on the pic, but is very pretty lilac with pink bits irl) - 28 count and will probably frame it. Thanks for looking. Finished 4th August 2012

The last of the four Mirabilia Holiday Fairies that I am doing. Possibly my favourite though - I just love the colours - although they don't show up too well in the photo.
