A Year of Blackwork


I have been participating in A Year of Blackwork, from Peppermint Purple SAL Group (facebook group), which is 52 weeks of a free stitch-a-long. This is my stitching so far:


Enjoy!!

No Driving for a whole MONTH!!! Yikes . . .

Well, I can get back to doing a little stitching as long as I don't irritate the arm. No cast but a sling for the next month. I do have two fractures in the ball of the arm. The doctor was pleased with the amount of movement I have (not one to lie around but been careful, I did some exercises so arm wouldn't seize up and it has worked)!  YAH!!! Oh, did I say NO DRIVING for a month - not a happy camper but . . .

Thanks for all the well wishes from my blogging buddies - much appreciated.

Now for a few links to check:
  • I like the shape of this Basket Tote from Sew Can She. Lots of great patterns on this site
  • Are you familiar with Ginger Bread Girl (Kathryn Drummond) from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada? Kathryn was here last year and taught several workshops for the St. John's Embroidery Guild. Unfortunately, I couldn't take any but my friends did. Kathyrn has lovely patterns on her site. There is even a Blackwork Snowflake, called Winter Sparkle, to download.
  • Pattern Pile has, just as the name implies, piles of free stuff. I got a bit sidetracked looking at all the free patterns!
Enjoy!

Here's one of my miniature embroidery pieces I did years ago. It's a combination of some free motion stitching, applique and hand stitching.

Show & Tell - St. John's Embroidery Guild

Have a look at the wonderful work that was on display last evening at the St. John's embroidery guild. The piece with the blue and yellow flower is Romanian Point Lace and was designed and created by needlework artist, Sylvia Murariu. Sylvia is visiting and teaching her method of Romanian Lace to members of the guild.
