Smalls SAL for July

Didn't realize it was that time already, so here is my stitched finish for the July edition of the Smalls SAL.

I was playing with another of DMC's Coloris flosses.

Some more of my original designs.

This is the front and back of a soon-to-be needle book.

DMC Coloris 4513 with it's coordinating DMC solids 814,413, and 318. B5200 is also one of it's coordinators but I didn't use that color since it was stitched on white 28 count.

 This will be the inside of the needle book and will have felt pages.

This will be the scissor fob.

I am having issues with stitching it together, it's been a long time since I've made a fob and I cut the seams a bit to narrow.

You can see the hand made cording using DMC 814 and 413.

That's it for now, so until next time.......

Take Care & Happy Stitchin'

More Stitchin' & Pin Cushions Galore

Well I've been busy stitchin' & sewin'.
I kind of got sidelined on a pin cushion sewing adventure for a while, but then got my stitchin' mojo back and made a Needle & Scissor Case with a matching Fob.
Now, if I can only find a pair if prim scissors in black the look would be complete.
You can click on the pictures for a better view.


Here is the front & the inside of my needle & scissor case along with it's matching fob. I designed everything but the big fancy scissors, I got them from a freebie pattern. It is stitched on 32ct. linen tea-dyed after stitching, using DMC thread in 310 & 115. I even tea-dyed the felt piece. I got the fabric from Hobby-Lobby and made the cording from the same DMC threads.

Here are the passel of pincushions I sewed up. There are two tomatoes with strawberry emery's, a strawberry with a strawberry emery, two strawberry emery's (hanging), two pumpkins and a little tomato. Aren't they just too cute.

I also fabric covered a couple of cardboard textile bobbins to wrap some of my flat trims on. I definitely need to make some more of these.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a piece of yourself behind, I really do appreciate all of your comments, they make me smile & keep me motivated.
I hope you all have a great weekend filled with sunny weather and lots of stitching fun.

Take Care & Happy Stitching

The Autumn Trio Is Finished

I finished the final piece for my "Autumn Stitching Accessories Set". I could only fit the scissor fob and needle case in the box, not to mention that I ran out of DMC 935 (only one strand left) after I finished the needle case, now that's cutting it close.

Here is the happy little family all together.Here is the needle case.

Design: Autumn Needle Case (12-12-09)

Stitched on 32ct. hand-dyed linen (dyed by me) using Caron "Wildflowers" Raspberry Sherbet and DMC 935 threads and Mill Hill petite beads in Ginger. Lined with dark green satin and four felt pages for needles, tied with 3/8" sheer ribbon in dark green.

Merry Christmas & Happy Stitching !!
