I am working on some Pin Kits...

The kits will have enough material to make 2 of these adorable pins

Each pin will measure 2 x 3 batting size plus the Pin.

The only thing NOT included will be the floss and needle.

 Since it is stitched over (1) on 30ct not to much floss is needed.

THE DMC floss #'s you will need are

DMC 301, 732, 801, 3820 and 3828

Included in the KIT:

(2) pieces of Warm & Natural Batting measuring 2 x 3 

(3)  2 1/2 x 2 1/2 pieces of Autumn Design Fabrics for embellishing  

7 Beads, 

(2) 2inch Safety Pins

(4) Split Rings to sew onto the fabric and slide onto the pins

(4) precut wool leaves

Cross stitch directions for the Autumn Floral Basket and Acorns

General directions to assemble your pin.

The above photos are for your inspiration, 

How you assemble your fragments and other goodies is up to you and your creativity!!

They should be ready by September 24 or around there.

Have a great week

and the larger 5 x 7 Kits are in the Etsy shop.

Noble Leap of Faith Embroidery KITS

 Good Morning!!

I have (4) of these Kits left in stock and 

I wanted to share them with my Bloggers before I add it to my Instagram Post

This KIT contains: The design for “Noble Leap of Faith” which has been printed onto a piece of Linen Cotton Canvas- fabric size is  12 x 9 ½, the design area is 6 ½ x 5 ¼,

Patternayan Crewel wool fibers to embellish your stitchery, “Donna’s Favorite” stitch directions, a Needle, and 10 Close-Up color photos to view stitching suggestions,

I finished my thread painted design to be a pocket for my Yazzi Bag. Using a hoop I laid the design fabric on top of a piece of warm and natural batting, embellished with embroidery stitches…after I then added a piece of cotton to the back and quilted the design with random running stitches in all directions around the design,…when finished I turned over my edges, iron , pinned in place and stitched around the 2 sides and bottom to make an extra pocket for my bag….there are so many things you can use the panel for….use your imagination and have fun!!  

Have a Great Day

Oh my goodness...look what I just found

 

Anchor has started making their 6 stranded cotton floss 

onto spools.....no more winding floss on bobbins and getting knots. 

It looks so exciting, 

I think I will try some for my designs, but I still will give the DMC alternative.

OH they look LOVELY!!

I found this in a flyer from Joann Fabric

Just sharing exciting news

have a good weekend

and thank you so much to every one that purchased a 

"Stitch & Quilt Textile Fragment"

Busy stitching

 Happy Wednesday!

 I made another sample for the "Stitch & Quilt Textile Fragments"

That's what I am calling this new line of a little bit of cross stitching/embroidery and a bit of quilting along with whatever works, HAHA

This sample has the fabrics laid out a bitt different and the Bee and Bee Skep have been embroidered instead of cross stitched.

I am just waiting for the photos to come in and then the kits will be ready!

It is a limited edition since I only purchased so much fabric and all of the extras to go along with it. 

But I am also working on something else...very similar but it will be a 9 x 9 and not a 5 x 7.

It will have stripes, flowers, and a center saying.....

You'll have to wait for more when I can share a picture which should be by the end of the weekend,

 I Hope

Have a good Day or evening depending on when you read this.

hugs
