Over recent months I have been stitching a fair bit but no finishing has been happening so in order to get back my finishing mojo, I decided to finish this sweet little piece.
My Pink Roses by Blackbird Designs
stitched on 32ct spotty natural belfast linen with recommended threads
The backing fabric has been in my stash for ages and I coffee dyed some ric rac for the edging, which I sewed on with some Mill Hill pink beads.
See you soon, and have a lovely weekend xx

Very cute. Love it on that fabric!
Such a pretty finish!
This. Is. Fabulous.
Congratulations on your beautiful finish! I have found wonderful trims on etsy.
Beautiful finish! Good luck finding your trim.
Lovely finish. The dotty fabric is perfect for this design.
That backing fabric so PERFECTLY fits your stitched piece--everything about it is lovely!! I have to get some of the polka dotted fabric and try it out... Hope your mojo comes back!! Hugs!
Terrific finish,uniquely done and so perfectly made!
As for trims,Crewel Gobelein Sydney has some lovely new ones.
Lovely stitchery Katrina, beautifully finished. I will look at The Ribbon Rose in Auckland for trims. There is also a lovely website that I visit quite a bit called "laraines on Capri". She is on the Gold Coast Australia. The Bernina outlets in N.Z. have trims also.thimbles and threads in Upper Hutt. Hope these may be helpful. It must be a shock to the system coming home from holiday to the cold. Glad you had a great time. Shirley
It's lovely Katrina. I know it isn't in NZ, but L'uccello in Melbourne was a treasure trove of lace and trims http://luccello.cart.net.au/ They probably do mail order and the post wouldn't be too much from there.
Lovely Katrina. If you have an emporioum type hop close by, they usually have a great selection, and quite reasonably priced too.
Katrina,I noticed Spotlight in Oz had "Basics " ric rack, 40 pack 1m ea for $15..colour packs of Gelati,Primary and Pastel. Oodles of 40 pack ribbon for $10. I don't know if you have online NZ Spotlight shopping like we have in Oz. These trims,I believe are in the Scrapbooking section. Hope that's helpful.
Wonderful stitchery. I like the colors and fabric is perfect for the design.
Greetings
Anja
