Crazy Quilting

This is a little friendship pillow/sachet that I made for my very dear friend Pierrette, if you look closely you will find a little 'Bee' as I always try to add one to everything I make for her (this is a little joke between us)

Crazy Quilting

This is a little Pansy block that I made that I was going to make into a little pouch however I decided that it would make a far nicer needlecase

Mr Blobby

This is my Mr Blobby in his favourite sleeping position, It seems to be quite a common pose for cats who are rather rotund (better be polite in case they can read this as you never know)

Freestyle Embroidery/Needlepainting

This is a peacock that I designed and stitched for my City & Guilds Embroidery and Design course it is worked on Ivory silk fabric and the threads used are all silk with the odd scattering of a gold metallic thread

This was one of my first attempts at creating a picture with threads, it is worked in a single strand of either DMC or Anchor. The design is one of the Di Van Niekerke miniature cottages http://www.needlecraft.co.za/vanniekerk.htm this is her old website but you can find her new designs here http://www.dicraft.co.za/

This is another of Di Van Niekerk miniature cottages that I worked with single stands of either DMC or Anchor threads

Brazilian Embroidery

This is a little trio of Brazilian Embroidery that I made for a gift for my friend Pierrette.

The Needlecase, Pincushion and

Scissor Fob are all made with Dupion Silk and the embroidery is all done with Edmar's finest rayon thread called Glory
