A gift for Lillie

I finished this little flanged pillow with the help of Katrina's tutorial on Focus on Finishing. Without which l doubt I would have the confidence AND the know-how to do so. A simple yet classy method of finishing.

I tatted a heart as the last motif of my 25-Motif Challenge. YES I did it!! It was to be sure an excercise in perserverance. You can view all my motifs since I started the challenge in August 2006 here.

When I saw the heart design, I immediately thought of Lillie who has been rather down lately. Since she has been so kind to be giving me so many little little gifts when we meet for tea and me of course being a big doh-doh came empty handed :p I figured that a tatted heart would be nice appliqued to a little flanged cushion. I am glad you liked it Lillie!

Now on to Long Dog's 18th Century Mystery Sampler SAL at NNC. I've completed Band 4 & 5 and started a wee bit on Band 6. I absolutely love the colours and this would most likely be the most colourful sampler I'll ever stitch! It's such a joy!


Also a mini SAL with Jess on the freebie Sajou Be Glad. We're going to stitch one panel every month. And what a wonderful piece it is and quite stress free too :) While Jess will be framing hers (she's stitching all 5 parts), mine will stop at Part 4 and finished into a stitcher's wallet.
