WOW. absolutely fantastico Mabel. Another one of your exquisite pieces. I love your projects as they are always so neatly worked & you use many different stitches. With the organza as a background in this piece it really sets it off well. You always amaze me with your skills

Thanks all - it's really down to the lady at Rowandean for showing anyone who liked how to make these things; that's one generous lady!

That's a cute little thing. It's fun to learn new stuff -- or how to incorporate new things into one's stitching. Hope you had a great time down at the Show.

Another little triumph from Mabel! I've seen Rowandean designs before, but none so close up .What a clever use of Organza.

For a change I have no pressing deadlines so I decided to have a few just-for-fun projects of other people's designs so I don't have to worry about photographing and charting and diagramming

Here is a the first one, a Kelly Fletcher freebie - my apologies for the Christmas theme, that was not intentional! - with an extremely wonky star on top, and baubles done in a variety of stitches. The threads are Caron

I like the Wonky Star!!
What a lovely simple design.

Fun isn't it? You can get it from Kelly Fletcher's Etsy or Craftsy shop as a freebie

I love designs that make me smile and this one does! So very very pretty!

Carole

That is such a gorgeous design and I imagine it should stitch up quite quickly. Great for cards and I love your colour scheme. Very very tempting.

Saw this on Flights of Fancy. Love the different ways you've done the baubles. Would look fab in silk...

Ah, funny you should say that - no, I haven't done another tree, but I got out my Threadworx overdyed Vineyard silks for a Mary Corbet star freebie (pics soon)

Very Bright Star!



From centre to rim: French knot/stem stitch, French knots, raised chain stitch, Portuguese knotted stem stitch, Mountmellick stitch

Love it!!

Carole

WOW THAT IS AMAZING. Love the Mountmellik stitch especially. You definitely are a VERY Talented Lady Mabel.

All stars should be bright, and these are lovely! Almost makes me think I need to do a bit of embroidery... ( )

Very Bright!! and very 'Mabel'

Awesome!!! I'm beyond words!!!

Mabel, your work is always so lovely! You are truly an inspiration!
