I think I am just about caught up with essential things. Unfortunately I was back at work this week, I suppose I have to pay for my hobby somehow, but I'd rather win the lottery.
-oOo-
A few people wondered what I bought from The Nimble Thimble ..... well my stash grew by just a few charts. There are 2 by The Drawn Thread, Simply Autumn and Simply Winter. I have the other 2 seasons thinking they would perhaps look OK if they were all on one piece of fabric. Lo and behold on the back there is a generated photo of the very thing. It is in the wrong order, not sure why, perhaps that was the way Cynthia released them. So that it my plan ...... sometime. Then I bought A Little Beach by Lizzie Kate, so that will be another summertime holiday reminder of my time in Wales.

I do have a finish to show as well. Remember the holiday freebie from the last post, well I had another play on the machine, and put together a little pillow. The cording is just tied and then slip stitched on the join of the two pieces of fabric.
Beach Hut Freebie - From the book Sand Sea and Cross Stitch by Anna Field.
Freebie found here.
32ct Antique White Belfast Linen.

Until next time .......
I absolutely love that little nautical pillow finish. You did a fantastic job on the finish! Have a great day. --Andrea
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish and beautiful new stash.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend.
Nicely done on the Sun pillow! Look forward to seeing the DT pieces progress to a finish. ANY Lizzie Kate pattern will be delightful to stitch! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYour beach piece looks super in finished form, Andrea. I like the knotted cording you attached. Nice stash additions! Have an enjoyable weekend.
ReplyDeletePerfect finish, Andrea! I love the idea of the knotted cord.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous finish, Andrea. I do love a good freebie! Oh and I really like the Drawn Thread designs...I'm tempted to purchase them myself, but I have bought far too much recently!
ReplyDeleteLovely stash.
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow and the knotted cord works so well.
Enjoy the weekend.
Your Beach Hut freebie with the knotted cording is super!!
ReplyDeleteWork does have a way of interfering with our hobbies. 😉 Nice additions to your stash. Great job on your pillow finish. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pillow. Any suggestions on how you get the corners so sharp? I try so hard but mine never really are that sharp. Also I do love the charts. I had not seen them.
ReplyDeleteYour beach pillow is so cute! That knotted cord is the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteI love your finish of the summer Freebie, it all fits so nicely together. Great idea with the knotted cording.

I wish to win the lottery also, to have a huge craft room. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat stash, sounds like a good plan to do the DT's all together, that will be so pretty.
The Sun finish turned out so cute.

A gorgeous finish and great new stash.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I love how the nautical piece turned out. The knotted trim makes it perfect. You picked up some great charts to stitch. I look forward to seeing how they come out. Getting ready to leave on vacation but I'm glad I caught this post before leaving. Have a great day. RJ @ stitching friends forever
ReplyDeleteQue precioso trabajo!!!! besos
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, great new charts that you bought. Simply ... is a wonderful series. But then, is there anything by DT which is not beautiful?
ReplyDeleteGreat little pillow made that you made out of your finish.
Lovely finish, the knot is perfect there! Great nautical look. Great selection of new patterns to stitch. Mary&RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
ReplyDeleteLike Barb I was admiring your sharp corners too! That's a really sweet stitch and the knotted cording is a great way to add a little something.
ReplyDeleteYour sweet summer freebie is finished perfectly, Andrea! Just love what you've done with the knotted cording especially :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those new charts. I've stitched the LK Beach one, but gave it away to a friend who absolutely loved it. Thinking about stitching it again for my sister who is moving to a condo on the beach in Florida.
Enjoy your day!
I love your little pillow finish! It's soooo cute and beachy! You did a great job!
