Makers at the Mill Sunday 1st July

I will be at Holmes Mill in Clitheroe on Sunday 1st July.  Will have lots of frogs, foxes, mice and dolls as well as little stitched gifts from £5.

Come and say hello it will be lovely to see you, you don't need to buy anything but it is always great to see friendly faces.

It should be a good day for everyone with live music and good food.  The Mill has an artisan food hall as well as a restaurant and cafes. So come a say hello!

New Stitch Work for Craft Shows

 I am going to a craft and vintage show on the 1st of July in Clitheroe.  I have been working on a series of stitch projects to take to the show.  I have made little stuffed sampler sachets and little five inch hoops all based around plants that are my favourites.

This particular set is Briar Rose, they are stuffed with rose petals for a gentle scent and have a soft series of rose colours to make the stitches.  The stitches include herringbone, fly stitch, sheaf stitch and long arm cross stitch. They are all worked on 22count Hardanger.

Each set has little flower motif to represent the individual flower.  The five flowers I have chosen are Chamomile in yellows, Lavender in soft purples, Woodruff in green, Honeysuckle in pinks and yellows and of course Briar Rose in soft pinks.
