LK Jingles & a new start

My Lizzie Kate Jingles project was finished earlier in the year and was just waiting for me to sew on a few buttons and beads. I'd already decided to sew it into a wall hanging, using a piece of gold spotty and red fabric.



A piece of jute for the hanging and a bright red button and it's done, all set for Christmas 2017.

                      

(It looks a bit wonky in this photo but it was hard to get a good shot of it as it's so long)

Last week I made a small start on the third chart from Blackbird Designs For the Birds series.


The fourth chart, fabric and threads also arrived last week. I just love the thread colours used in this series.


Now I'm "patiently" waiting for the first part of this year's Lizzie Kate Christmas mystery sampler to arrive from the Silver Needle.

Thank you for all the recent comments on my little blog - have a wonderful weekend!
See you soon xxx

Love your Jingles finish! I've completed Jingles and the 2009 Boo Club and was going to have them framed but now I may try something like you've done. So pretty! Thanks for the inspiration.

As for the BBD I started this series earlier in the week. I think the colors are gorgeous and I adore birds. So many cool things to stitch...

The hanging is really fun, you will love getting it out every year. Just as an aside, I follow you on Bloglovin' and when I come over from them to read your post I am never able to comment, I click on comments and nothing ever happens. I always have to open your blog again by putting the name into my browser to comment. This also happens with another blog too from Bloglovin', not sure why. x

YOur finishing is fabulous and I love the red dotted fabric you chose for the hanging. Such a fun addition to your Christmas décor! I love the Blackbird series also, the colors are lovely. Mary

Beautiful Jingles wallhanging, lovely and bright. It will look fabulous hanging up at Christmas with all your other decorations you have stitched. I love the BBD bird series as well. I only have 2 at the moment, not sure whats happened to my pattern order, I must check it out. The colours are gorgeous in that series. I have resisted Lizzie Kates mystery Christmas, jolly hard but I am finishing off Gingerbread Village and committed to Colour Cascade and Shannon Wasselief SAL so one has to stop somewhere. Have a good week Katrina.

I've been admiring everyone's BBD bird series! I do love the color schemes and is tempting me to join in!
Just received my Lizzie Kate Christmas Mystery Sampler from The Silver Needle, so I'm sure it's on the way! It just has farther to go to reach you! :)
