I am madly working on this piece of tapestry for my very best friend's birthday. It will (hopefully and eventually) become a clutch purse courtesy of a fab pattern from Cath Kidston's book Stitch. It is my first foray into the world of tapestry and I have to say that I have enjoyed it. It's a great TV watching activity, which is an absolute must for me. I always need to have something on the go which I can do whilst relaxing in front of the tele. I really need to finish the tapestry part so I can sew up the purse and get it in the mail as close to Australia Day as possible (which is my friend's birthday). Eeek! I don't like my chances of getting it done in time for that but I have warned her that her present may be a bit late this year.
I can't wait to check out what everyone else has been up to over at Kootoyoo
ooohhh what a lucky friend!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. cant wait to see it all stitched up.
ReplyDeleteI love Cath Kidston designs, "Sew" is so inspiring! I admit I wasn't quite as enthralled by "Stitch," though perhaps that's because I've been cross stitching for many years.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it put together. It looks lovely already.
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous present. i love a good tv project
ReplyDeleteMy jaw is on the floor. Fabulous stitchery (and TV projects are always my favourite).
