Ali-Cat's Small Stitches - 03.01.12

Post by ali-cat »

I have, for the last while, been rather off my stitching – until I recently offered to help out and stitch some squares for a charity (they will be sewn into beautiful quilts for children's hospitals in the UK and an African Orphanage).

It's been lovely to feel the needle between my fingers again – and has also given me some confidence back to stitch some cards for friends and family.

I also managed to finish off the biscornus I had promised to make at the start of the year and post them out!! :D

Lovely! I especially love the Somebunnies :wub: They are the only 'cute' critters I will sew myself! Love the colours of them and the meticulous way they are designed. :wub: :applesauce:

And your stitching is pretty nifty, too! :wink: :D
