Heritage Stitching Day Part 2

Better late than never I guess! Thought I'd share some more photos from the recent Heritage Stitching Day at Evandale, this time featuring the works of Vivian Robinson - I love all the stitchery in her pieces. Vivian had designed three projects for Evandale, including this gorgeous Sampler Tote Bag.



A lot of the girls at my table made a start on this. I would like to make it too some time.


Vivian's second project was a Sampler Stitchery made into a small wallhanging.


I didn't get any decent photos of the whole piece but you can see from these close-ups how lovely it is. I adore samplers.



Vivian's third project was a Sampler Rubbish Bag for all your thread off-cuts. Being an absolute doofus, I some how missed taking a picture of it! Sorry. You'll just have to take my word for it that it was very cute ... it had a little house stitched on the front.

The remaining pictures are some of the other samples Vivian brought to show us. I really like this swag of reindeer pulling Santa's Express.





This little hanging is a child's message to Santa with a rustic old key so he can get in on Christmas Eve. Click on the photo for a better look.



And finally Holly Jolly Christmas. Although I'd probably choose more muted colours if I made this for me, I really liked this quilt. (and I wish I'd bought the pattern - it was only $22.00!)







Just realised these are all Christmas projects ... well it is nearly July 25th. Looking forward to opening my parcel from Bec on Friday and seeing what she made me for Sarah's ornament swap. I hope Kymberly likes what I sent her.

    Isn’t this bag scrumptious? And the Sampler Stitchery is really delightful. I especially love the text. I agree with your assessment of the fabrics used for Holly Jolly Christmas. I would use more muted colours too. I would also be more inclined to use Christmas tints. Silly you for not buying the pattern! I’m thinking of ordering it. I love Christmas Stitcheries.
