You can pull it open, manipulate it in many different ways, bead on it, turn it into amazing flowers and shapes, use it as the base for jewelry, crazy patchwork, etc. You will love it!

Lighthouse Weekend

 

The annual  trip to the cottages at the Byron Bay Lighthouse by the Lighthouse Stitchers was a great time spent eating delicious food with lots of laughter and some stitching.  The weather was wet, very windy but invigorating, just right for lots of coffee, cake and stories in the warm lounge room.

Golden Heart Featuring Shibori Ribbon

Just finished this golden heart to showcase the beautiful Shibori ribbon flower.  The branches and leaves are ribbon and chenille in glowing blues and greens with tiny sequins down the centre.  I will take forward orders from Tuesday for the kit with delivery in two weeks as I'm still writing the instructions. It will be on display at the Open Day.
I'm waiting on a shipment of 6 new Shibori ribbon colours and they should be here shortly. There will be a gorgeous red so I'm very excited about designing something for Christmas.
