Cross Stitch - Estate (etc-Summer) from Sara Guermani

Just finished!

It took about two months to complete it from end of May, 2014.
Although cloud, sheep, milk cows, and geese stitched by white color floss are invisible with cream/gold aida,  it's still very pretty and charming :)

Felt Needle-book

Last week I'd finished my first needle book, Lavender Needle book by cross stitching. However it's too beautiful and cute to use it usually. So I decided making new one using felt and just finished it. :)

As flower printed, I didn't add any other print or stitching on front side and put snap buttons in inner side.

It's my first felt craft. It's also interesting. :)

Cross Stitch - Lavender Needle Book

Just finished the lavender needle-book.
It's also my first needle book.
A lot of french nuts made me chaotic, but they made lavender more blooming. :)

 

 

I attached 2 pieces of felt, flower print and deep purple for keeping more needles.

I stitched my initials in inner back side. But, it's too right-bottom sided after finishing :)

[Cross Stitch] Biscornu & Scissors Fob

Just finished biscornu and scissor fob.

I finished biscornu with beads unlike preview work because I thought that beads would make it more lovely. :)

And I crafted scissors fob shaped, octagonal shape utilizing original charts.
It was finished with beads also.

Actually I re-drew the chart reference to Lolotte's blog.

quilt - Pouch

It's my first quilting craft.
I think quilting is a little difficult and makes my fingers pains, but very interesting. :)

It's too difficult for me to quilt with line, so I didn't it. But sewing with a bias tape and a zipper was not much difficult than I thought.

Tower of Biscornus :)

I have crafted four biscornus. Above are three of them.  

Thank Heavens

The sentence in chart was "To MUM with Love", but I changed "MUM" to "YOU" for general usage. 

I attached it on my POP work.  :)

It has a wooden frame before lacing.

Lacing

Trim your stitching 1~1.5cm outside the design, leaving and prepare lace.

Blanket stitch around the edges.

Attache the lace with  broad stitching or using iron on adhesive tape.
Actually I love iron on adhesive tape because I don't know how to use the sewing machine. :)

CrossStitch - Giardino Di Primavera

These beautiful flowers took twenty days to stitch pattern only.
For using square table cover,more widely to the left and right green borders finish unlikely original chart.

I attached lace to four edges using iron on adhesive tape after pressing with a iron because I don't know how to use sewing machine. :)

It is placing under the glass on dining table. :)
