More blooms in my garden


Getting more blooms in my Christmas Garden.



"Christmas Garden"
by BBD
Fabric: Vtg. Meadow Rue 40ct
by Lakeside Linens
Fibers: Belle Soie and
 Frorimell by Gloriana
Size: 225W X 272H

I'm resuming "Christmas Garden" 
as finishing Margaret Cottam.

She is a big girl with a lot of fun here and there :)

I especially enjoy stitching the flower urns,
much more than stitching the flowers.
Isn't that weird?


The top left one has only one handle,
but that is the way shown
on the chart and the picture in the book.

There seems to be six more flower urns left.
I'm looking forward to meeting with them :)

Fiber: "Cerise Noir"Silk'n Color @Thread Gather
Fabric: 40ct unknown Lakeside Linens scrap

As for smalls,
I had to make the exception with
stitching this small beauty
as it's not a Christmas theme design.
(It's my year to play with Christmas theme 
projects all year long this year.)

I'm going to finish this as a little ornament,
and using the walnut crystals.

I was going to try using that
 for this one to give a vintage look,
but could not decide whether
going for it or not.

But I found this small piece would be 
a perfect candidate!!


Ms. Limo: How about sewing?


I have spent almost zero time
last week in my sewing room.

As my terrible sinus allergy hasn't
really gone away yet
(I'm slowly recovering/getting used to
from/with this, and trying to catch up 
with the comments left on my blog
as well as making my visit to yours!),
it's easier for me to just 
nesting on the couch with stitching.

But as seeing everyone else's cute houses
all over on blogland,
I at least pulled some fabrics for my next one.
My plan is to build one or two house(s)
every month.

My houses are going to be under
the Christmas theme,
so using only reds, green, golds and tans.

xxxxxxxxxx

It will be a tough debate
what I want to do in this afternoon.

Stitching?
Building a house?
or
How about baking this fabulous stuff?
I'm a huge fun of Ina since years ago :)))


Till later.

  16. You do beautiful cross stitch work! I wish I had more time for that sort of thing. It is hard to keep up with quilting and cross stitch both.
