Stitching Illustrations
For release on or about 7th Feb 2023 are 4 Stitchery Illustrations sets of gorgeous designs for applying to stitch, maybe a little applique, felt will lend itself in some of the designs...blend together felt, fabric and applique.
The designs are great to stitch each one as a separate and make a quilt....or pillows or cushions, bags etc framed or into hoop/s Small designs aas most of these are can be translated to use in small projects like pin cushions, needlekeeps, mini pillows , journal covers etc etc.....
I paint my illustrations using rough water colour paper and the paints I use for my buttons so not watercolour paints but acyrlics.
The stitchery Illustrations do not come with any stitching or colours or project instructions.
In today's world so many many projects are available on line if one does not have any in cupboards in forms of patterns ....and as these have multiple uses one would be stitching into oblivion....I share my talents for a modest cost and you can create from there.

Funny Times Christmas

Christmas races faster now
Although, this year, I am working slowly on the way I will work for next Santa season.
It is involving stickers and boxes and a set of ...buttons ...decorations.
For me this is so exciting ... the stickers arrived yesterday and boxes to trial have been ordered in.
Then comes designs of what will go inside these boxes and what size fits....
The preparation time will flip and flop a bit..
but the focus is part of this...also once I begin to work towards Christmas again that time has really passed.
