Love Bug Cushion Project Part 5

Yesterday I have finished my love bug.

Now it looks like a Volkswagen Beetle.

As you can see I have done some modifications.

As I mentioned in one of my posts before I stitch on 11 count Aida instead of 12.

I found the Aida fabric holes to big in the screen so I decided to fill them. I stiched windows in the same

colours like the spotlights.

For the wheels I used 4 strands of black thread. I stiched them before in 3 but the white fabric shone through. 

I will also stich the backstich in 2 strands. 

I hope you like my love bug.

Have a nice Sunday

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!!!!

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

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!
