As I have pledged to Harmien (the original owner of this chart), I will now be releasing this chart to the next stitcher who wants it. You can live anywhere on this big blue marble, I'll mail this chart to you. But there's a catch ;) You must stitch it immediately and as fast as you possibly can and pass the chart on to another stitcher that wants to stitch it. If you think you can fulfill this pledge please leave a comment and say that you'd want to be a part of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pattern, and I'll put your name in a draw! Also, you need to have a blog, so that other stitchers can keep track of it's status and it's whereabouts! I'll close the draw on Wednesday 12 noon (Malaysian time) and the results will be blogged right after.
On another note, I got word from Faizon that she received the bourse I stitched for her. Faizon is an expert tatter and I figured perhaps a little bourse will come in handy to keep her tatting WIP. As tatters will know you just need a small pouch for tatting which houses a shuttle or two, and a ball of thread! Perhaps she can take it with her for the classes she's been teaching! ;)

Comment Notes: I will be always truly grateful for your wonderful comments and the sacrifice of your time. I do so much adore the work that all of you undertake and that has helped inspire me even more. What can I say but a mere 'Thank you' :)
Simply Beautiful! Your work is an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS! And alright, I'm not the fastest stitcher around, but I'll certainly do my best! Please throw my name in :) The bourse looks brilliant too, now I know what Harmien was talking about!

ReplyDeleteBJ, It look gorgeous and your are fast stitcher. Can I have the chart next and I promise to get it done soon. I want to be part of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pattern. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNeedle and Floss must surely be the fastest FO I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteWow, that bourse is stunning! Your friend must be doing flips all over the place from joy!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered into the draw for the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pattern. ;) Not only is the chart fab, but the idea of sending it all over the world is tremendously cool. :)
Please put my name in the draw too - I can't wait to stitch my version!
ReplyDeletePlease add my name to your draw, Barbara! Your Sister Stitcher turned out beautifully!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the gorgeous bourse you made for your friend. She must be thrilled with her gift.
You are over generous with the 'expert tatter' tag for me. And my thoughts exactly when I open up this lovely surprise, that it will make a beautiful carry-all for my tatting stuff that I take with me. Thank you lots BJ.

Lovely finishes! The bourse is great - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful finish!! Yes, please throw my name into the draw too! And your bourse - love it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish!! That was quick! Whilst i love this piece, with everything else im stitching, there's no way i could promise to stitch it right away so please don't enter me! It's such a great idea passing it from stitcher to stitcher though. Love the bourse and the fob you made by the way

ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish and I love the bourse! I was curious to see it after you commented onmy blog that you had done the same motif. =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the finish, Barbara! I love your bourse too :)
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely beautiful! I think it could be used as a small handbag too, but then I don't carry much because I have a briefcase.
ReplyDeleteI admire your work on the bourse. Sooo lovely!!! Nice work. Faizon must be very lucky to have received it!!Please count me in for Sisterhood draw...will try my best despite of my long stitching queue....
ReplyDeleteI admire your bourse..they are sooo lovely!! Nice work. Faizon must be very lucky to have recieved it...plz count me in for the Sisterhood draw...i try my best to stitch fast despite of my long stitching q....
ReplyDeleteYou have sped through the travelling pattern and what a lovely job you have made of it. I love the Bourse you have made for your tatting friend, wish you lived here then you could give me a refresher lesson in tatting as I love the look of the pieces. I must have been 9 or 10 when I last had a go with my late Nanny Winn as my teacher....maybe I will get a book on it some day soon ;-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week Barbara
Congrats on your finish that Boruse is beautiufl!
