I'm back and the Whazzit winner is....

Remember I said I would do a little shopping while attending the retreat in Colorado?  Well, I did and these items are ones I would like to share as the Whazzit Contest prize.



The Berry Patch is one of the favourite stores among the ladies who attend the retreat, so from there I have an assortment of ribbons, each approximately half a yard in length.

Next there is some YLI silk floss and a couple of brass coloured heart charms.

I also found these gorgeous velvet leaves at the Berry Patch so ten of them are going into the prize package.

The white vintage buttons came from a wonderful store in Colorado called The Woolen Shoppe and the pretty glass button came from The Berry Patch.

There is a package of baby blue Angelina to play with as well.

Hobby Lobby was where I found DMC Cotton Perle #5 in delicious variagated colours.

It was so much fun to read all your comments and especially the Whazzit guesses when I got back home a couple days ago.  I am unpacked again now and ready to announce the winner.  There was one correct guess the very first day and it was by ..... CRAZYQSIS!!  Congratulations!  Please get in touch with me by email and give me your mailing address and I'll send out your little prize package to you!  Thank you all for playing - it was great fun for me!  I hope you all enjoyed it too.

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which item you like best.  Feel fr

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS Week 35 - Bullion Stitch

This time the BAS Challenge is a stitch that can be used in either seams or motifs. It is an incredibly versatile stitch once you learn it. I put off learning the bullion stitch because I found it very intimidating, but I have to say that once I got the hang of it I have had a lot of fun with it. The possibilities are almost endless..... bullion roses... ... figures like watering cans... ...Christmas puddings... ... this little robin and worm - my personal favourite!... ....romantic hearts filled with roses... ... even a beehive and little bees.... ... or baby rattles! See, the possibilities really are endless! Now that I hope I have you inspired with ideas, here is the scoop on this stitch. It is simply a glorified french knot! There is an excellent video tutorial on Mary Corbet's Needle'nThread blog in her Video Library of Stitches. Mary has also written very good information and tips in this post.
