At Needlecraft Haven we exchanged summer themed pincushions. This is the pincushion that I sent to Julie using a free design from Hello at Liz Mathews and it is my sole Fully Finished item for the past month.
Summer Celebration Small - Hello from Liz Mathews
Fabric: 28ct Zweigart White linen
Threads: Recommended DMC threads
In return I received this beautiful sunflower pincushion and threads from Gill. The sunflower is appropriate as so much of the surrounding countryside is full of them during July and August.
I also sent to Clare these two initials (J and Q) for her church Christmas tree. If you read her blog you will have seen her finishing of these here. The J initial is a free design from Fox and Rabbit Designs' Cherry Monogram Pincushion.
J from Cherry Monogram Pincushion- Fox and Rabbit Designs
Fabric: 32ct Zweigart Vintage Blue linen
Threads: Suggested DMC threads but substituted Atalie's Carmen for red
Q from Country Alphabet - Leisure Arts
Fabric: 32ct Zweigart Silver Moon linen
Threads: Recommended DMC threads
For those of you unfamiliar with Jo's Gifted Gorgeousness and Rachel's Fully Finished Gallery SALs, further details can be found here and here.
Until next time, enjoy your leisure interests.
