♥♥♥♥♥♥

I will be leaving the country on the 22nd of Jan. My return is indefinite. During these times, I may not have internet access but I'll try to log in whenever I can. That's why I've already emailed Block 3 of our SAL. Hope you all get it. There might also be some delays on emailing the rest of the blocks, please bear with me. For orders made during my absence, there might also be some delays, I hope you understand, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Block 3 is Lavender, here's my version,



There are a few confetti stitches on this block but I have to say it's worth it. I love the colors in it especially the blue, my fave.

Advance Happy Valentine's Day to all and Happy Chinese New Year!!! In celebration of Heart's Day, here's my gift for you. A freebie chart named "I Love You!"

Fabric: JdJ TeaLoverMe 18ct Aida
Thread: DMC

It is a small design good for small finish. I've made it into a floss ring tag. There are some floss  ring tag finishing tutorials available in some blogs, so I guess you all know how to make it. Mine is a bit different though. I used Aida since it is stiff and this version is no batting and seaming both sides  together needed. I used iron on fusible web to bind both sides together and cut it into desired shape. I dab small amount of glue along the edges to prevent it from fraying. Set eyelet and Voila! One easy and quick step. If you want it, just click the icon under ABoC Freebies in the sidebar.





And here's a new design entitled "One Love". A design to celebrate our LOVE.

Fabric: 32ct TeaLoverMe by JdJ
Threads: DMC
Design Count: 100W x 100H

If you are interested in buying the chart, please drop me a line.

TFL!!






Houhwa completed Block 2 and made it into a pincushion.

Fabric: 32ct Natural Raw Linen 1 over 1
Threads: DMC as charted

She also stitched two of ABoC freebies, "Joyful Summer" and "Blooming Roses" and made it into biscornu.

Isn't it lovely?!!
She sure is a pro-finisher. Love it! Thanks Houhwa.




Enjoy!
