Who dares to rush into a Pebble Adventure?

Do you recognize this?

It is a free project from "Stitch" from some years ago, you can find it here: http://www.embroiderersguild.com/stitch/projects/encrustingcalico/i...

We, Deb and Marjolein, have admired that project ever since. Now we have decided to rush into this "Pebble Adventure".

Does anyone want to join us? We can share pictures and experiences here or provide links to blogs or flickr.

Gorgeous! Wonderful design and execution! You have a nice eye, Meg, and every pic you show keeps me wanting more.

Meg,

That field of lazy daisy flowers and french knots, ending in a riot of cup stitches and needle weaving is gorgeous!

You have such a good eye for placement and not adding too much, there are spots for the eye to rest before seeing something else that takes your breath away!

Andrew does sound like a gem.....you ask for 12 and get 82! Now I have to know what you did with 82 houses or even the 12 you requested. Hang on to him a man with a band saw is a treasure! Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts and phots with us.

Meg, your work is very different. You should send the photos to Pat winter, she will publish our pebbles next issue. Go to her blog and send her a email (but the gmail adress).

Thank you, Susan. So glad that you like the photos. I really enjoyed making this project, as it seems that everyone did with the pebbles. There is something rather special about creating something so dimensional, I think. It makes the item feel so so dynamic and "real".

Thanks Marjolein. I am pleased that you like them. I really liked making the anemones, so I though it might be fun to make somre more projects with them - perhaps some jewellery?

Wow, Deb, thanks for the lovely feedback. Your comments on the design are really constructive. I do appreciate the detail in which you have commented - I am sure it will guide me with future work.

Yes, Andrew is a gem. I have sent you a private message showing what I did with the little houses that he made me. They're made of wood so aren't exactly on topic ofr Stitchin Fingers (hehe!).

Thanks Iris, I have sent Pat an email as suggested by Marjolein, but I will have to check which email address I sent it to.

Iris, I could only find one email address for Pat on her blog, and it was not a gmail address. If you have another email for her that you think would be more appropriate, please would you advise me? I couldn't find a gmail address for Pat on any of her sites or blogs.

Iris and Meg,

I sent my photos to the email address on Pat's blog. I was unaware of her having a gmail address.
