Tresors d’antan – Au Fil Des Reves

February 25, 2007

I really love Au Fil des Reves designs, I wish I had, had the chance to collect a few more charts.

Au ver a soie is lovely to stitch with and gives the stitching a really nice sheen

First Exchange of 2007

February 3, 2007

My first exchange piece for 2007. This is the piece I stitched for Jennifer, for the Stitch and Stash (Jayne’s Attic) Valentine’s Exchange. The piece was to be related to Valentine’s Day so I choice a heart design pincushion.

A New Year

January 9, 2007

This area will be dedicated to full details about my 2007 finishes. I have some large projects this year, which should be interesting. And to keep things ticking along and to stop me getting bored I’m intending on completing a number of small projects each month
