Good morning. Its It's a bit cool around here this morning for this thin blooded Queenslander. Well it did drop to single digits....that's cool to me!
Anyway I digress. I have gotten May's Rainbow Scrap Challenge block done just in time before the next one is due. GREEN was the colour for May.
It was a butterfly turn as well.
This years blocks are starting to look very "Rainbowy"....
Ok bring on June!
Something struck me recently when I was preparing some patterns to go out. My process is usually getting the image in my head down on paper.....sometimes they get stitched and sometimes they have gone into my stitchery alphabets and patterns and I don't get to stitch them. Whilst packaging this one....Frosty Friends...
A few of the cute Frosties just stole my heart all over again and I really felt the need to stitch a couple.
I have chosen Country Garden Thread Blue Wren (washed and tested) and it is stitching up so nicely.
I am not sure what they will become yet but they are so darn cute.....even if I do say so myself lol! I must remember to have a look see in my own pattern drawers from time to time for some more stitching projects.
I am off for a cuppa in a nice sunshiny warm spot.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
Your block looks so great and I love the snowmen - can't wait to see what you do with them! Enjoy your cuppa!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Michelle it is freezing down our way too,a big heavy frost this morning,you and Gary would need your ski gear on,even the wood fire is struggling to put warmth in our home,lol.
ReplyDeleteLove your cute blocks and your frosty stitcheries are so cute,i just finished one of your stitcheries and have started on another one,hope your day is a good one my friend xx
Stitching your frosty friends might not help you with warming up, but that hot cuppa will!
ReplyDelete😍 your butterfly. The blocks look so lovely together. Oh darn you Michelle now i have a hankering to stitch Frosties. Lol. Currently I'm sitting on my verandah in the sun with a cuppa stitching coffins. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteYour frosty friends look wonderful Michelle ... do you wash your C.G.threads first?? Just wondering as I have had them run before?
ReplyDeletefreezing here today Michelle loved seeing your projects
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow blocks are looking great Michelle. Haha! It is amazing how quickly you forget what you have done when it's tucked away in a drawer. xx
ReplyDeleteVery cute snow man. How do you use to wash the threads.
ReplyDeleteLove the snowmen, they are very cute. I would be interested to know how you wash the threads too please. Hope the cuppa warmed you up.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks look great! Love your snow man and that particular thread. I must wash my CG threads too as I love using them but don't want to have the trouble that Shez did.
ReplyDeleteSweet stitching projects in perfect Winter weather. I always love a snowman, and I too am stitching with the Country Garden Blue Wren thread, doing your Christmas ornament. It is so pretty! xx
ReplyDeleteWell done meeting you challenge on time.
ReplyDeleteAnd how lovely to rediscover your own patterns and enjoy them all over again.
I'm sure it will turn out to be something very cute
ReplyDeleteLove your butterfly block. And your little stitchery is adorable! I haven't done any embroidery for awhile. Must start one soon.
ReplyDeleteI like those blocks..did you do needle turn on the butterflies..
ReplyDeleteMama Bear
Your Scrappy Rainbow blocks are looking great together....
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous thread to stitch your cute Frostie.
Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow blocks look lovely!
Did you mean you have washed your threads, or they come ready washed? If you washed them, I too, would love to know how you did it. I imagine you just loosen the threads, but keep them in the hank as you wash them?
Love your Frosties too!
