finishing club stitching

I'm never quite sure what projects the girls will bring to finishing club.

It might be a quilt which will take more than a class to finish or it can be something as simple & quick as stitching the charm on a purse.

 

Love Belinda's choice of fabric & felt.

 

The club isn't just about finishing projects, for some it means starting a new one.

 

Leanne was keen to start & finish her journal cover in class but couldn't resist embellishing the jumbo ric rac. I'm so glad she did.

 

Julie's fabric was perfect for her journal cover and went home with it finished.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what projects they bring to class next time!

 

catch up mode

I'm playing catch up or that's what it feels like. I'm still photographing and loading the new patterns and kits onto my store. This week I've added the Theodora Cleave button kits released at AQC.

 

The Garden Angel, this one is nice for an all year round display. It’s worked in felt with Barb's Twig Angel button. I’ll let you pick your favourite; I can’t decide

The pattern is $6.50 and a kit is $18. The kit includes the pattern, felt, braid/ribbon and Twig Angel button. The threads are not included. Postage & Handling is extra.

I stitched mine with Aurifil Cotton Mako Ne 12 threads. If you haven't tried the Aurifil thread it's beautiful to use.

Simply pull the thread from the reel, cut your desired length, thread it through the needle, knot and start stitching. No need to separate the strands - it is so liberating!

Of course you can use your favourite threads and there is nothing to stop you using different makes and weights of threads on the one project.

 

There's no doubt Barb's Santa's are the best!

Minimal stitching to showcase her gorgeously whimsical hand painted buttons.

They make lovely quick Christmas gifts to stitch.

And this versatile bag.

It's hard to know what to call it. It's my shoe bag, but it's also a laundry bag, book bag; it's the bag I’m using instead of a plastic shopping bag when I travel. So much prettier to see these in the suitcase instead of grey plastic!

Whatever you like bag!

 

The Fat Quarter & Twill packs including the pattern will be available from my on line store next week.
