Current #needlework is a bus pass holder pendant tag, worked while listening to Pride and Prejudice being read across the parlor. Yesterday's surprise: Lydia induces one of the handsome militiamen to dress up like one of her girlfriends. Today's: Pemberley's vast tracts of land and naturally favorable aspect dwelt upon at great length until Lizzie starts falling in love with the estate.
Termine el primer módulo del diplomado 🫶🏻✨. Y al final la lavanda se convirtió en un bonito bolsito, aún no se en que convertir el bordado de la manzanilla 🤔.
Da ich zu Ostern Eier meide und der Mann keine hart gekochten Eier mag, ich ihn aber mit etwas österlichem überraschen möchte, dachte ich mir dass ich einen Eierwärmer häkle.
The best unexpected sweet #heartwarmer story I heard in recent years was from my past friend (who was also my neighbour & landlord for 3 yrs) . I was talking to him about how I wished more men were into #needlework crafts & sewing. He told me about how his Mom taught him how to knit as a child & how he grew up with a lot of sisters who did needlework too. He then told me how he knitted a baby blanket while waiting to be let in room when his first child was born ❤️🧶❤️
“A mended garment is a little piece of artwork that you wear around all day, on display like a living gallery wall, eliciting comments, starting conversations, an opening sentence to a good story.”

Look what I found in the back of the cupboard. I stitched this about 20 years ago. Who knew I would have a living model on the allotment. #needlework #foxes
Thinking about what to sew next and, while looking for inspo, found 7 #ladysmag needlework designs I forgot I had! Unbelievably (to me) there are now 200 of the around 650 pattern sheets the magazine published between 1770 to 1820 on my Patterns of Perfection website (ladysmagazine.omeka.net). I love the vertical gown designs, but also my very sorry for itself leave sprig repeat. Both are from 1797. #embroidery#Georgian#sewing#needlework#womenshistory#periodicals#regency
Finished a project for a challange with my needlework group. I have a series of these cross stitch cats, only half of them are finished. #needlework. #crossstitch#catsoncrosstitch
