Quaker Scissors Case

 

I stitched and made a quaker scissors case, I combined different motifs  into the design.

2nd Quaker Mask

                                         I made the 2nd Quaker Mask for a special friend.

Special gift for my birthday back in 2006

I received a surprise gift from my cross-stitch internet friends in Korea whom I've never met in-person before. We all became friends over the internet. I was a member of a Korean cross-stitch blog "For Stitch". We all shared our project such as WIP, completed and planned. We all commented on each other's work to support. We've enjoyed doing secret cross-stitch surprises for other members in the group. For example, we've stitched one block each and made a nice bed cover. We've also surprised members expecting new babies, twin babies, and members with health problems, etc. When I turned 60 years old, approximately 30 members joined and made dozens needle rolls, pillow, card and a beautiful 20 flower(with my name, HELEN) block-stitched bed cover. I was so touched. Unfortunately, this internet cross-stitch group hasn't been so active like before. It is bit sad.

Quaker Mask

I stitched a special mask for myself to wear during the pandemic while I'm out and about. I combined  different motifs into the design and I think it turned out so beautiful . I am very happy  with results.

Happy Canada Day!!

To celebrate Canada Day, I stitched little pillows and stayed within the red and white theme of our Canadian flag.  These small pillows can be used as pin cushions, can be added to wreaths, and anything else creative that you can think of.  Happy Canada Day!

Hand Sewing

I made some sewing accessories, scissor cases(one big one & 2 minis), coin pouches, rotary cutter and a little cat for door hanger.

Masks

I made about 30 masks for family members in April to protect them from COVID-19.  Some of them are made with pocketed filters. All are hand-sewn from different fabrics. I even made kid sized masks for my granddaughter.  These masks are reusable and washable.

Door Hanger for my granddaughter

I stitched this lovely project in Jan/20 and finished it as a door hanger for my granddaughter. It’s another EMS’s free garden alphabet pattern. I really love these patterns and made lots of projects,  like a door hanger for “Open” , “Close” for friends to use for their businesses and “bathrooms”(I don’t remember who I gave it to) and one big project “Bless our Home”, hanging in my room.

Needle Book

I started this one in 2015 for my granddaughter. That time I planned to make a toy book, but somehow it’s been left as UFO for years. She doesn’t need a toy book anymore. I finished this as a needle book( I think she's too young for it though), so I’ll hold it until she turns into a teenager?. The design is a free pattern from EMS(Ellen Mauper-Stroh).

I still exist!!

Seasons Greetings

     

It has been a very long time since I last posted. So, I'm trying to catch up. I completed a lovely project in mid-2018 for Christmas and framed it in Feb. 2019.  The project design is from The Prairie Schooler.
