Granny's kitchen

I fell in love with this design from Kreative Kiwi Embroidery (which is currently on sale for $1.50) and decided to stitch a Granny to hang on the kitchen door to symbolize Granny's Kitchen.


It was such a joy to bring this beauty to life by playing with different fabrics and lace.  She was done in 6 hoopings and is 60cm tall.  She is completely reversible with different embellishments added on each side.

Another Bubble quilt done

 I received an order for a bubble quilt with butterflies and finished it today, ready to be delivered.


And so on to the next one. 😃

First order delivered

While I was stitching a pink bubble puffed quilt to put up for sale, it was immediately snatched up by a dear and loving family member who is constantly helping young people in need.  She also ordered four spit cloths and as I had some pockets left over from the quilt, I sewed them into a little cushion.



On the back I used a bright printed heart fabric with the same message I put on the blue bubble quilt.


Below are the spit cloths.  I embroidered little fairy dolls on each.

Monogram for Apron

On Monday, a friend of mine asked if I would be able to embroider a monogram on the pocket of an apron for a kitchen tea which was held today.  As I am not currently working it was no problem at all.  I used the Novelty font of Ageless Embroidery which was offered as a free font in 2013 - 2014.


I received some of the fabric as well and was able to use the same colors in the flowers.  I was asked to embroider it 15cm high and immediately thought about Ageless designs as they offer their monograms in really big sizes.

And this is the gorgeous apron.  Really beautiful.  If it were mine, I would never use it for messy kitchen work. 😀  A real lucky bride to receive such a thoughtful gift.
