GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 04/22

 

It's always nice to make gifts, nice too to receive some

and use them in our stitching projects.

It's great and fun to show all this and the perfect place is

on Jo's blog Serendipitous Stitching on the 15th of each month

for the Gifted Gorgeousness post.

Cadeaux donnés ou reçus, toutes les occasions sont bonnes

pour partager nos coups de coeur et participer au "Gifted Gorgeousness"

de Jo - Serendipitous Stitching.

Felt  -  Feutrine

My band of friends have one more member : an owl 

and as I decided to use this set for Jo's Easter Blog Hop

I thought it will be clever to add some bunnies.

I made with Timothé's help a second base to welcome

some flowers

I have sewed the fish then the waterlilies

Then the pond on the green felt (with some fishing thread)

keeping two spaces free on the water edge to slide the plants bases

Here is a "drone view"

And here is Soline, happy with her new toys

Voilà terminé mon ensemble "autour de l'étang"

les derniers habitants ajoutés : un hibou et trois lapins

l'assemblage des poissons, nénuphars sur l'étant réalisé

Soline peut désormais s'amuser avec ses nouveaux amis.

Knitting - Tricot

The original purpose of this cover was to (re)use some white wool

from a shawl I wasn't using. Then when DD3 chose this pattern

I had to order more pink, black, white and a blue purple

to make more squares.

I also did some tests mounting,  sewing some squares in line.

La commande de pelotes de laine nécessaires au projet

effectuée chez "le chat qui pelote" et reçue,

yapluka ! Quelques tests de montage pour se faire une idée

des carrés assemblés en ligne.

THE PEOPLE CHOOSE 04/22

 

First Saturday of April means that I have to post about a topic chosen by our stitching friends. This SAL is run by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching, it's about what you want to see on the blog. 

The result of the votes for this month was : "Series of designs".

https://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-people-chose-series-of-designs.html

The designer "Brin par brin"   sells smart notesbooks with laminated pages with six patterns by serie.

I have bought three of them :

Les oiseaux brodeurs - 2/6 done

De très jolis et pratiques petits carnets de grilles chez Brin par Brin.

Trois séries m'ont déjà tenté sur les thèmes de la couture, de Noël et de la cuisine.

Marché de Noël  6/6

and  "des invités dans la cuisine"   1/6

Great series too made by  Cuore e Batticuore

I made this one with six Christmas characters.      6/6

Wainting to be full finished, I cut the cardboard but I haven't found the right red/white string for the border.

This post was ready but then I visited Pamela from Hokkaido Kudasai and remember that I too have stitched one of the freebies from Snowdiairies - Joyful World - January, a lovely fox for my granddaughter bib.
