Love Bug Cushion Project Part 2

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 

again yellow thread!

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

of my magazine rack. I have to stich the back.

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!
