Stitcheries

I just love stitcheries.  At the end of the day when my brain is too tired to think, I plonk myself in my comfy recliner chair, prop my feet up, turn on the TV and stitch away.  I always need to be doing something as I find I fall asleep whenever I sit still.

These gorgeous giftcards by Rosalie Quinlan have been around for a couple of years.   The card includes a pattern which you can keep for yourself then give the card to a friend or make up the stitchery and give them both away.  The card would also look lovely in a small frame. 

If you're like me and love stitching then why not make up the set into a small wallhanging.  I used the Flower Sugar Range of fabric by Lecien and a couple of other spots and a tiny floral.  It was a perfect match for my stichery colours.

The cards with a pattern are $11 each or $59 for the set of 6. (6 cards with 6 patterns plus wallhanging instructions)

Being a bit of a Rosalie Quinlan fan (she did after all tell me "to follow my dream and just go for it" many years ago when I opened my shop in Wangaratta) I have also made her lovely christmas stitchery.

This comes as a kit, screenprinted with red Cosmo threads.  All you need is some weaveline (stops threads from showing through) ironed onto the back and you are set to start stitching.  When finished, no need to frame it, just staplegun it to a canvas and you're done.  Now that's my kind of kit - super easy and ready to go!  Just $31 for the screenprinted linen and threads.

Time to go and fit in a few moments of stitching before bed.

Happy stitching,

Carolyn

P.S. I think I have the whole hyperlink thing worked out.  Computer savvy I am not!
