New Pincushion "Meadow Blue"

.

 " Meadow Blue Pincushion"

It's made from all my favourite textiles - felted wool, hand dyed felt, velvet, silk threads, beads and filled with the new walnut shell and lavender mix.
 The pincushion is about 47cm. round or a diameter of 18cm..  Kit now available.

Soothing Greens

Green is such a soothing colour against which all other colours are enhanced.
I now have felted wool in a small pk of 6 different greens for leaves in your applique. They mix beautifully with Colour Streams hand dyed silk velvet and organza.  Leaf Greens

Autumn Wool Applique Pincushion

The weather was very overcast the last two days and so there was a good excuse to stay indoors and stitch. I had such a great deal of fun playing with the wool and over dyed threads that I've decided to make a kit so you can try it out too.
An easy beginners wool applique pincushion stitched in Cottage Garden 8# perle thread and enhanced with beads and sequins. The background and leaves are hand dyed felted wool fabric. The ric rac is hand dyed and embroidered. I've added one of the new Bronze crown treasures as a special focus.

Colour Inspiration

I just thought I'd share with you some of the beautiful colours that arrived in my latest parcels. The Weeks Dye Works felted wools come in the most gorgeous pastel colours and they work so well with the French Scallop braid and the new Hexagonal Mother of Pearl buttons. The Thistle Needle Keep is also new in store. It is nestled on some of Colour Streams 4mm. silk ribbon. Yum!
