Carol Leather's beginner's Owl
Sandra Littlejohn's boxer pup, from 'Cross Stitcher' magazine
A tree ornament freebie from 'Cross Stitch Collection' magazine. Organza was fixed on top of the aida before stitching.
Shaker-style motif free with 'Jane Greenoff's Cross Stitch'.
This is a panel which I designed and stitched for a quilt to be given to the founder of the Angel Afghan Project, James Farmer. The alphabet is from Jo Verso, the bands are from an American School of Needlework booklet, the 'I Believe In Angels' panel was a freebie from Journey's End, and the angel button was part of a set from Debbie Cripps. The group has now been renamed the Angel Quilt Project.
Other panels I have stitched for the AQP can be seen in the albums found
here and here. The AQP has websites based in USA and in the UK
The 'Charming Little Lovebird' freebie from the Sweetheart Tree website.
The top right-hand cushion is a little lace-trimmed thing to cover a hole in a decorative miniature rocking chair! The middle is a Textile Heritage scissor keeper, in a pattern called Tudor Oak, and the bottom left-hand was initially a freebie lavender sachet designed by Debbie Cripps. All three are now helping to display my collection of dressed teddy bears.
