Cube finished!

Oh my, 2 posts in 2 days, that's got to be a first for me!! I had to show a pic though as I "finished" my cube last night for an upcoming exchange!! This took quite a while as there's lots of whip stitching involed but I really love how it turned out! It will be hard to send it off to my partner but I have told myself I can always make another! So without further ado, here's my cube!

It's stuffed with a combination of poly pellets & fibrefill. The pellets are to give it a bit of weight. I meant to sew one of those charms on the top which say hand made etc but forgot. Had a cute butterfy one too, oh well, next time! So you can get an idea of the size, it's stitched on 28ct jobelan and the whipstitching was 36 stitches each side and measures 2.5"square. I backed each side with the stiffest iron on interfacing I could find.

Thanks in adance for looking at my blog, your comments spur me on!

Happy Stitching

Another finish spree!

Hi all

Well I had another finishing spree last weekend. Here's the pics of what I achieved, some of these have been waiting a while!! Please excuse the quality of the pics, it's been raining here all week. Rain is great but not so good for good pics!

Teresa Wentzler - Futurecast pin keep
Brittercup Bunny pin keep
Elizabeth's Design pumpkin pin keep
The Trilogy Garden Spots pin keep
Shepherds Bush ornaments
Dragon Dreams ornaments
Needleplay Needleworks & Ursula Michaels ornaments
Lizzie Kate Peace, Love & a Cure pillow
Bent Creek Dance of the Bumblebee pillow
Lizzie Kate Fun in the Sun pillow
Drawn Thread Welcome Spot Sampler pillow

As you can see I got quite a few pieces done, amazing what you can get done when it's raining and the kids are occupied! I was trying out a new to me way of doing the pillows using the folded corners, this method is not quite what I was aiming for but have an idea of what to try next time.

Will try and get some updated wip pics happening tomorrow as I have another long weekend, got to love school holidays, gives me the perfect excuse for days off work!

Thanks to all for taking the time out of your busy days to look at my blog.

Some finishing pics & exchanges!

Hi all

This post could be a bit pic intensive as I have a few to upload!! Hoping blogger won't lose my post again too, as this is the second time I've tried to do this post!!

Firstly, some finishing.

Here's my ornament I stitched and finished for an exchange. My partner liked Lizzie Kate designs so I went with one from the latest Tiny Tidings leaflet, Dec 25. This was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, hope my partner likes it!

Next up, I finally got the finishing done on my CCN Cowboy Dreams wallhanging. The bottom is a bit crooked but overall I'm happy with how it came out, sewing is not my forte!!

I also got the finishing done on my SB Happy Pumpkin neeedleroll and scissor fob.

Here's some exchanges I received this week:

First up is a lovely Santa ornament and stitched card from Lizzie, thanks loads Lizzie, I love Santa!!

Then I have a Secret Santa parcel from Lori, thanks for the goodies Lori!Will post a pic of this week's w.i.p a bit later.

Happy Stitching all
