Mabel's WIPs -- thread now retired

[Mabel Figworthy]

My old thread was getting rather long, so I thought I'd start a new one. I do want to keep a record of all the things I've been doing, though, so I'll put all the finishes that are in the old thread here as well! The first was a rose in five shades of purple:

Then a ruler with fabric names on:

A ribbon bouquet:

Then I had a flurry of about 25 projects on the go at once, I think... but the first to get finished was a set of kitty coasters:

Wow. What a trip down memory lane!

The kingfisher, finished after a VERY long time:

Mabel, your work is so beautiful.

I have just started a cross stitch of cats that was in woxs recently, it''s for a cushion. I LOVE how you have made your cushion up, the instructions in woxs for the cushion are a bit different and I dont like the way it is done.,

how did you make yours?
