At these geese...
...stitched freehand on the sewing machine and taken from these old sketches...
I've got a pitch booked at the Royal Cornwall Show in June, thought I'd frame some stitchings and see if I can sell any! I'm going to frame the top 3 together, ie in a triple frame.
On the subject of birds, look as this fantastic book I bought a couple of weeks ago.
Take a look at the author's website here. She also writes a great blog here. The book includes patterns and instructions on making all manner of birds. I can't wait to get enough time to have a go at this beautiful swan...
Before I go, I must tell you that another Homespun Fair is fast approaching!
It's taking place at Portscatho on Easter Monday (April 25th) and promises to be a wonderful event. You can find more details on the Homespun blog.
Really hope to see you there!

I love the geese Kirsty and I'm sure they will sell at your next stall. Three together will be adorable. Happy sewing.

Hey Kirsty your guess are brilliant, I'm sure they will sell like hotcakes at your stall.
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was 3 y.o we stayed with my parents and my mum had a couple of guess. They scared the living daylights out of rich, you would hear him screaming when they started honking. These days he's over his fear although still a little wary.........
Abi Glassenbergs book is brilliant, can't wait to see what you make.
