Stitch...stitch......stitch....

Ive been thoroughly enjoying some stitching time lately.... swapping my addiction for paper and products to an ever growing addiction to fabric and notions...I love that I can mix up the fabric.... just like I do with paper too.

I have to thank my dear friend Janelle...... for her fabulous ...easy to follow patterns....and for all her online coaching when the going gets tough..... like when I attempted my very first pieced table - runner..... and in hind sight it wasnt that difficult.... just a little time consuming.

This is such an adorable pattern and so versatile..... its called "Holly and Rainbows"... mine is an adaption of the original pattern.... so instead of the stitchery down the centre...I have added vintage buttons instead.Then of course.....there are more of Janelles adorable covered journals using her "Journal Secrets pattern" .....they make such beautiful gifts....and I love how they can be changed...and personalised to suit the recipient too... Like these two versions here....




Then last but not least.....this little project.....which has taken me months... literally!! ....and Ill share all about it soon..... I can say though....its a VERY special piece of stitching.... in more ways than one.
