Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop 2021

Jo has organised the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop again. Each participant receives a photo to post online from a secret stitcher. We hop around the blogs of those taking part to see who received our photo and to reveal ourselves as the Secret Stitching Sweetheart. 
To find out who has taken part and to visit their blogs, Jo has listed all the participants here.

I have received this beautiful Valentine alphabet.  It is exactly the kind of thing that I would stitch for myself. I'm looking forward to finding out who stitched this as I want to know the name of the design and designer. I think I will have to get this design for myself!


In some last minute Valentine stitching I made this scissor fob. This is a free design from Jean Farish and can be found here. Her blog post also has a YouTube video link showing you how to complete the fob. If I stitch this design again I will choose a darker fabric or a darker thread to provide more contrast.

Vintage Hearts - Jean Farish
Fabric: 28ct white evenweave
Thread: Dragon Floss-Friendship

Have a lovely day everyone.

  8. Not mine either, wishes it was :) that is really cute and would look great among my teddy bears. Don't know who the designer is either, there are so many new and wonderful designers these days.
