2nd Giveaway in my De-Stashing Spree! - GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Just a reminder that you still have until Sunday midnight to enter the first giveaway in my little giveaway spree.  So, after you sign up for this one, check out the other here in a previous post.
Lots of you who signed up for the first giveaway chose this as your first choice as one of the items at Rainbow Disks.  You can read more about Creative Fabric Techniques on the Rainbow Disks website here

Briefly, "using innovative new techniques, top quilter Annette Morgan explains how to use existing textiles combined with sheer fabrics and stitching to create sumptuous new surfaces. She shows how to play with wire frames, wrapping, stitching, burning and appliqué to make creative squares. Using fabric as a base for piling on texture she adds paint to give surface decoration."  Doesn't this sound like fun?!

So, here is what you need to do!

1.  Visit Rainbow Disks and come back and leave me a comment telling me what technique that is not already there that you would like to see in a new Rainbow Disks ebook.


2. Agree (we will be working on the honour system here!) to write a review of the CD after you have had a chance to see it, if you are the winner.

3. If you are a follower of my blog, leave another comment telling me that and I'll put your name in the hat an extra time.

Please make sure I have a way to contact you. If you are set to "no reply" and you don't leave an email, I will draw another name.

Again, you have a couple days to enter - I will draw the winner's name on April 8th. Good luck!

This was one of the books I thought looked so interesting!
I think a book on dyeing fabric would be good.

I have been reading about Tyvek and using it in fabric collages and beading. It can be burned and the description of Annette's book speaks of burning fabric too. The thought of the whole project going up in flames frightens me and intregues me too! Kind of like cutting fabric to make an eyelet, scary but so worth it.
I appreciate reading reviews of books. We often don't know if a book is really worth buying, without knowing something about it's substance.

I am currently researching broderie perse for a project I have in mind so a book on that would be nice. Or needlelace. I'm also looking into some mountmellick embroidery ideas.

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.
