CHRISTMAS 2015 BAUBLES TO DOWNLOAD!

Here are my 2015 Christmas Baubles! Go to the website for instant download! They will also be in the Country Living feature I believe ... They are very addictive to make and the variations are endless. In the download there is a pattern and, stitch library, and stitchmap to show you where to place the stitches, I am quite proud of it. I just love doing the downloads, it is hugely satisfying and appeals to my sense of order, though I am in truth constantly struggling with organisation!

Anyway I hope you will enjoy them!

I have finally finished the long process of designing, experimenting, having prototypes printed, and embroidering three new kits. There are two more coming but time is running out to complete other things, (like the new website) before the craziness that is Christmas is upon us again. 

So here we have Bird Dance, Cuckoo, Bluebird, and  ... all can be either made into cushions or framed and admired once you have embroidered them. Or if you are not an embroiderer then they make great pictures anyway! 

We had a great time at Thread in Farnham Maltings at the end of September and loved meeting so many like minded people, the bacon butties, and danish pastries which kept us going for two days!
The Bird Dance cushion proved a wonderful success and it was so good to show after so long in development ...

Now we are getting ready for Christmas and a piece in Country Living Christmas Issue. (out end of October) ...

Please do follow me on INSTAGRAM as there are sneaky peaks at work and ideas in the raw plus many things which inspire me and also Biddy of course...

The great thing with Bird Dance is it is so achievable, as all the birds are simple and quick to do in an evening so before you know it it is completed!
