A Pincushion & Pressies from Mary.

Well, I am a very lucky person, I woke up this morning not feeling the best, a bit of a headache after a poor night's sleep and guess what, I was soon cheered up by the postman. I knew that Mary was sending her Pincushion to me but I didn't expect all the lovely pressies too.
I received three lovely postcards and a special one with Mary's work on the front as well as all these lovely fibres and trims, it felt like Christmas and I was a kid again.
The detail in Mary's Pin Cushion is delightful too. So many beautiful stitches, the work that went into this Pin

Cushion is astounding. I would like to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Mary for being so generous and working so hard on the challenge. THANK YOU Mary, I will treasure your Pin Cushion, thank you for making my day. Cheers Tricia

The show must go on: One more Postcard safely received

Before I post the next swap that I sent to Karrin in the States I wish to thank everyone who sent kind wishes in response to the last blog which told of our awful trauma of a nasty car accident. My hubby is still in pain with whiplash but he survived the accident and that is the main thing.

We are without a car but the show must go on as they say.



Well here is the card I made for Karrin (this was for the postcard swap on stitching fingers) which she has just received.

this is a view of a Kent Farmhouse near to where I live. 17th Century I believe. I have embellished some tweedy woollen fabric for the brickwork which seemed perfect for the job and the rest is just fleece with a couple of stitches to outline the windows.
Oh well back to work.
