I have bought some new fabric to make this Tilda Doll from the book Tilda's Summer Ideas, this fabric is really pretty, I got it from ebay, it is from the Tilda fabric range. I also bought some other fabric from a website called Crumbly Cottage in the UK, they arrived very quickly and Claire the owner placed a free bag of buttons into the parcel, it felt like my birthday, they were such a treat to open!
New design Valentine patterns see below
Stitching news and a free pattern
I have now finished Rosey from Little House Needleworks, I think she is so pretty, the photos are below.
As Valentines day is approaching I decided to make a couple of free patterns for you, the cross stitch freebies are at the bottom of this post.
My trip to Paris
As you know I am off to Paris to the embroidery show and I am thinking of making a small gift for the first person who recognises me. There is only one exception to this, if you have already won one of my giveaways you are not eligible to claim this at the show but you can claim one of my patterns from my Etsy shop, I will be putting the full details on my post on Sunday evening.
I will be wearing a badge with my blog name to make it easy to find me!
Hopefully I will have made the small gift by this Sunday when I will post a picture on my blog, if no one claims it at the show I will offer it as a free gift when I return.
Here are the cross stitch freebies, they make lovely scissor fobs!
This love birds cross stitch design is available to purchase, just email me in my profile.
Thankyou to all of you for the lovely comments you send my way, and may I extend a warm welcome to all of my new followers!
Happy stitching!
