I've been stitching away but unfortunately it's not anything I can show just yet. So here are a couple more photos I took at my sisters earlier this week. This is a redwork stitchery I gave her as a gift - can't remember whether it was Christmas or birthday. I do know it is from the book Simply Red, a collection of stitcheries by Bronwyn Hayes for Country Friends.
And here is the tablerunner I gave her for her birthday being put to good use. My Mum has put in an order for her birthday in September. She wants one in pink, brown and green tones.
And for all the cat lovers, the obligatory photo of Oliver looking cute. I think this might be his koala impression!
If you haven't checked out Chookyblue's blog today, go and have a look at the really cool slide show she has put together of a quilt show she went to. If you look closely you'll even see some of her own work.
Luv the transparent scrolling Thingy - Very Cool - Fun Hey?
ReplyDeleteYour sister's table runner is SO pretty! And it looks like it would be a relatively quick pattern!
