Hand embroidered Christmas tree decoration. The three Christmas teddy bears.

Hi, Just back from holiday in the Lake District. We were very lucky with the weather and had a great week. I had embroidered three new Christmas decorations for the Christmas tree before I went on holiday. I have a teddy bear called Sidney and thought I would use him as a basis for designing three Christmas teddy bears. They were great fun to sew and look very cute.

Hi,
I have been busy making more Christmas tree decorations, hand embroidered and designed by me. I love stitching these small hoops. This set are a daytime snow scene version of my village design shown in my last blog. I have also machined and quilted a table runner with four matching place mats. I have a few more of these to stitch so watch this space.

Christmas tree embroidered decorations and Advent calendar.

Hi, Just a short update today on the items I have been making. I have been quilting and sewing a table runner and place mats. I haven't finished these yet but as soon as I have I will post photos. I have completed a set of three embroidered Christmas tree decorations. I bought some gorgeous fabric that I thought would make a lovely night snow scene embroidery. I am really pleased with the results. They look great in the little hoops. I have also stitched two Advent Calendars, one is still waiting to have the hanging rod added but the other is completely finished. I added silver bells to the calendar to give it a little bit extra sparkle.

Hand embroidered pendant. Mullion cove, Cornwall.

The new embroidered pendant I have stitched has a design of Mullion Cove, Cornwall, England. This is one of my favourite places and I thoroughly enjoyed designing and hand embroidering this landscape pendant from a holiday photograph. I have a custom embroidery to stitch next which will be great fun.

This embroidery is a view across the fields where I live which I thoroughly enjoyed designing and hand embroidering. The pendant is an oval hoop and comes with an antique bronze plated chain. These little embroideries take several hours of stitching and I use my knowledge of painting with watercolours to create my embroideries.
           I have also had my embroidery of a Purple Emperor butterfly included in the Gallery page of the latest edition of the Embroiderers Guild magazine Stitch. This is a lovely magazine for anyone interested in embroidery.
