Needlework, knitting, quilting


This cute little needlework was designed by Sue Hawkins.
I bought the kit in France and finished it up yesterday.
It was fun to do.
 I like needlework and Sue's design is very special.

I also finished this knitted shawl.
It is from a class I participated at Craftsy.
The instructor Laura Nelkin is very good.

Have you done any class at Craftsy? 
At the moment I'm doing Shuttle Tatting with Marlee Rockley,
in the beginning I was really struggling, 
but I'm getting there, and really enjoying Tatting.
I will post pictures later, as I'm still practising.


I was going to hand quilt this top.
 After Dorothy sent me pictures of how she quilted hers S.N. I decided to use my machine. 
Some stitch ditch, some straight lines and some free motion quilting 
all with Aurifil Mako'NE 50/2.

ENJOY whatever you are doing and don't forget to breath deeply.

Spreading Joy With Yarn Art


Few more pictures from Nantes






It was very colorful and welcoming sight
outside the exhibition hall.



I got these cute little markers in Nantes,
and you need many when you knitt a shawl.

Happy stitching and knitting
