I would like to wish everyone who drops by this blog a Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2018.
Instead of a plant themed Christmas greeting I am sharing with you my Christmas sewing and craft projects this year. I have really embraced my love of sewing and embroidery this year and made some lovely new friends through it. Apologies for the poor quality photos, they are from my Instagram account and have lost something in quality in the transition to the blog.
The top photo shows a wall-hanging I have made this year. The center is embroidered in red work and has a quilted border. It’s only my second wall-hanging so I am pleased with the outcome.
The cushion was designed and made for my Embroiderers Guild Christmas competition. The theme was ‘stars’ and I was thrilled to claim second place against tough competition. You can see the other entries on our Facebook page (see 16th December). I have to say though that sewing on white felt wasn’t the best idea and I learnt that I’m not very good at repetitive things.
My final project is a ribbon wreath. It was very easy to make just involved a lot of ribbon cutting and tying – simple but effective
I hope you enjoyed seeing something different to my usual plant themed photos. If you are interested in my handicrafts I share them on my Instagram account and maybe I will share some more on the blog in the New Year.
So it just leaves me to say Merry Christmas.
