Love Bug Cushion Project Part 3

Here is my next update of my Love Bug project.

Now I have stiched some more flowers.

If you grew up like me in Germany in the 1970s and 1980s, 

you'll remember the Pril flowers, 

flower shaped stickers included as premiums with bottles of detergent. 

Turn out they were almost impossible to get off again.

As a child I put them on my new bunk bed!!!!

Here is an update of my Love Bug Project.

As you see I was stiching like crazy!

Today I will stich more flowers and tomorrow I have to buy

I hope to finish my Love Bug this weekend so I can concentrate

Have a nice day

Love Bug Cushion Project Part 1

Last friday I have started with my Love Bug Project!! 

At the moment my VW Beetle looks more like a yellow submarine!

I really like it!!!!!!

I stich on 11 count Aida. Cross Stitcher magazine recommend 

to stitch on 12 count Aida fabric but I had only 11 in my stash.

Have a nice weekend

Margarete Sherry - Foldable Fabric Magazine Rack Front

Today I have finished the front of the foldable fabric magazine rack.

I really pleased with the result.

The bunny looks really cute with the ballons.

I will decorate also the back of the rack. Maybe also with little bunnys.

Have a nice weekend!

Margarete Sherry - Foldable Fabric Magazine Rack

In February I will become an auntie (for the third time)

 so I am making a baby gift.

As a child I really love to hear bedtime storys 

so my idea was to decorate or to stich something 

on a magzine rack.

I have stitched a cute little bunny designed by Margarete Sherry.

The name of the kit is

Birthday Bunny, The World of Cross Stitching Issue 200

Today I will sew a felt frame on the rack and decorae it a little bit.

Tomorrow I will show you the result.

Enjoy

Merry Christmas Banner Project for 2016

Last month I won an Anette Eriksson's Merry Christmas banner kit on ebay uk for just 6 pounds!!

The kit contains:

white fleece pre-edged blanket with printed design, stranded cottons, needle, chart and instructions.

I will stitch it on Aida 11 ct. fabric. 

I tried to stitch on the fleece blanket but I was not satisfied with the result. 

My idea is to use the fleece blanket as wadding material. 

I hope also to find a red/white tartan fabric for the back 

(so it is easierer to cut and sew......).

In the Cross Stitcher Magazine (Issue 232, November 2010) 

are further charts by Anette Erikrisson. I will stitch also the sachets. 

For that I bought me this week 2 cinnamon fragranced sachets.

Do you like my christmas project?

Have a nice day!!

Walking on the Beach / Part 1

At the moment I stich an Anette Eriksson kit.

It is a stamped front cushion cover.

The kit contains the fabric (half linen/half cotton), 

needle and thread (3 colours).

It is a really relaxing stiching (I have not to count!!!).

Enjoy!
