Val Laird’s shopper is not only functional – most importantly it’s large enough to fit heaps of fabric when you need to replenish your stash – it’s pretty too, with delightful embroidery on the front and handles.
Leanne Valiukas made this pretty quilt for her one-year-old daughter, Sarah. The easy design has Friendship Star blocks and squares from a woodlands fairy panel. Choose a novelty print to suit the recipient’s interests.
Linda Haigh’s delightful cushion set would certainly brighten up a dull room! The pretty design features embroidery, appliqué and piecing – making it a perfect project for brushing up on your stitching skills.
Punch-needle embroidery is a fun and easy way to make all kinds of country projects. With the help of a special tool – aptly called a ‘punch needle’ – and stranded embroidery thread, you can create pieces that are cute and pretty, or more ‘rustic country’ like this basket door hanger.
Any stitcher would agree with this sentiment. Carol Newton added it to her latest design which you could stitch, then frame and hang in your sewing room.
