Down Memory Lane Monday- Home for the Nymph

This week I wanted to record my experience with Tast 2010 onto my new blog, but as it would have been too long, I have posted it as"Pages" instead of posts,  which you will see up on the top right of my blog, and if you click on the links you will be able to see them .

The "nymph" embroidery has finally found a home in the form of a journal cover.

I found a pattern on the Better Homes and Garden site for this pincushion in the shape of a hat.   I had bought one at the quilt show, already made up and they are very cute.

I have put the blackwork piece (green) aside for the moment to catch up on a few things, just to refresh me.   Will try not to let is languish for too long in the ufo basket.....it happens to all of us....something else took my fancy.

  2. Looks absolutely stunning Shirley. You have been busy!! I love the added textured stitching and trim around the embroidery, a perfect framework with this piece. The little pincushion is very sweet too. I like BHG ideas, always something quick and interesting. Lovely rain!!
