Because last year was such a non-event we decided as Committee to give everyone at our Guild Christmas lunch a little giftee...the local (well, next town because we don't have anything here) craft shop was visited and bits and bobs purchased and wrapped. My parcel contained a pattern by Marg Low - Pocket of Happiness - and the makings - fabric, felt, ribbon. Over this last weekend I made it up...
Happy Stitching...
(Found this languishing from end October 2020)
To keep our members engaged last year, as the Committee of our Branch of The Embroiders Guild, Victoria, we organised some background fabric, thread and a theme and mailed out the doings to those members who wanted to participate. The rules were simple...must use the fabric and thread provided and a design that fits in the theme of "garden" but otherwise...choose the design and stitches you fancy. I used an old pattern that had been waiting a long time for its turn...the pattern has four designs and the trick then was choosing which one?...
The Busy Gardner by Designs by Dot Craft, a pattern from 2003.
The plan is to put all the blocks together into a red/white raffle quilt for "later on".
I like the four stitchery designs a lot and think it would make a nice small quilt in green or blue...one day...
Happy Stitching...
