Be Merry & Bright

This past weekend I spent a few hours at my sewing machine, making some face masks and also getting some recent stitching projects ready for some finishing.

This is Be Merry & Bright, a lovely chart from the Scarlet House.

I used most of the recommended threads on 30 ct hand dyed linen. For the backing, I used some of my favourite fabric and vintage chenille trim by Lois from Lady Dot Creations.

See you soon xx

I have stitched quite a few Christmas ornaments and other little projects this year but they have just been sitting in a little pile waiting for me to find some time for some finishing. This past Friday afternoon I spent with a friend working on our crafty projects and I was able to get the sewing machine out.  This is the first from my Friday finishing session, made into a pillow with a ric rac and beaded edging.
