For all those who love and delight in crazy quilts
The others I've made are all variants of this tatted 'doily'
Liz your FPC posted today........so it's on it's way.......
For those who love hand embroidery both traditional and contemporary
Could be, but I didn't do the adapting! This one actually has four sides and I found it collapsed a bit (you can see if you look at the shadow on the bottom half) the next one I made, I only used three sides and stuffed it lightly with toy stuffing.…
I like this - it reminds me of those three sided pip shape things to keep your thimble in. Is it an adapted pattern (if you know what I mean)
This is just one of the ornaments I've made this year. Hope the uploading works!
Beautifully simple!
Hi everybody
I have just added a picture of a Christmas holly stumpwork. You can find the instructions for this piece on my blog http://www.goldnstitches.typepad.com/ . It won't take too long to make as it is a small piece.
Hope you enjoy it. Sandy
Del ask the postcard group as (hopefully) they will know

I loved making the autumn cards - I hand painted all my cards to get the right colours I wanted and just had such fun with them!
For all those who are interested in beading
This has always been my favourite time of year, It has been a pleasure to participate in this swap
Thanks to Jane for the lovely card with autumn colors! Our trees are just turning this week - so pretty as I sit in the hot tub at the gym and all the trees around me are orange and yellow! (It's Calif - 68-70 degrees today here). I like how you use…
I want to make mini biscornus to go on our tree but I don't think I'm going to get around to it.
Hi Mary Lou my email address lesliejcasey@googlemail.com look forward to hearing from you.

- Sharon,
I am curious... I see you are from Canberra Australia. Did you go to Country Bumpkin's Beating Around the Bush in October? I have so many embroidery friends from around the world that attended. They all had a wonderful time.
I would have loved to have gone myself. All the best embroidery teachers from all over the world were there teaching. I just couldn't face 31 hours of airports and flighting time. It seemed like a very long way to go for just six days.

Debby Holman said… - Thanks, Sharon for your comments about my spider. I'm glad he made you smile. I had a lot of fun making him, so it's great that he made you smile, too. I am leaving a comment here because I tried it another way and don't think it showed up for you. Hope you have a great day. Debby

- Sharon,
Thank you for your kind comment about my fairy shoes.
I see we can choose a page to jump to in the photo gallery. PHEW! Thank you for that too. No more clicking through hundreds of pages to go back to where I left off.

- thank you. i really admire your work. i'm going to be adding favorites later this eve. that little tree is one of the smallest things i've done, but now i think i might concentrate on postcard size more often. you can really zoom in on the stitches. it's actually way more impressive in online photos. if you had it in your hand, you would say, "where'd it go?!" LOL
