March Onwards….

Oh please spring arrive, I am sick of this freezing cold weather I need to see the sunshine and the blossom and flowers…..I have been making the most of the cold nights by beavering away with a needle or hook…..I have some finishes to share with you…. firstly I made my Pride and Prejudice Sampler into a wall hanging…

iStitch ‘Sew Sweet’ stitched on 32c tea dyed fabric using Carries Threads ‘Black Cherry’, I finished it as a beaded edge pillow…
A needed a new pincushion…..this bright simple one took me all of 45 minutes to make…..

I received my first LHN Sheep Virtues ’Hope’ chart and immediately stitched it up and finished it as a flat hanging ornament, I stitched this on 32c bay Leaf evenweave with DMC threads…..I am stitching all these throughout the year…..

Beautiful projects Elisa, your cushion looks fantastic I want to make one for my newly decorated spare room. The winter always makes me feel tired I'm pleased the nights are starting to get lighter now, I think I may have to get some snowdrops and daffodils to cheers me up
