Bits and Pieces

I embroidered a shawl for a Christening for a customer


I had a go at designing a rope embroidery for the borders on the lighthouse:

 not sure about these

And I finally stitched the remaining Jenny Bayer charms into a top.  The while pack was a gift just over a year ago


and the dark ones were used in this project

leaving the medium and light ones.

 I chopped up the last on my Kona white and had just enough for this
 

I'll get some more white for the outside and will eventually chop this up again to make a square dance / lil' twister top like this one

Finally, at the village fair yesterday there were a few vintage cars and other vehicles - including a Burrell traction engine. Having designed this one a while ago

I was thrilled to see this one in real life

  2. you have certainly been very busy did you sleep at all over the weekend? Lovely embroidery on Christening robe and like the top ropes rather than the second ones. Certainly made good use of the charm pack, are we going to see the top you made too? I have about 8 charm packs and 5 jelly rolls must make use of them
