Pretty, pretty threads have arrived 🥰

This is for the new Carolyn Manning SAL (for Lakeside Needlecraft), called Floral Hexagons. The SAL starts on 5th April.

I love Carolyn Manning patterns, this was originally due to be released last year but Lakeside decided they had enough SALs running at the time, so this one was delayed.

I am hoping this is going to kick start my stitching again since I have utterly neglected it this year.

Guess what I finally finished last night!! I even sewed in all ends! The daily high temperature at my place from 2023, one shelf per month. Please give me your advice on how to best frame this, and on how much it will bleach out if I put it on a sunny wall.

Through this project, I found out that cross stitch is really not a fun craft for me. I will do one more project to put on the wall inside the wooden hoop I bought and then I'll gift all supplies away. #PotionSAL #crossStitch
Huge cross stitch piece on white fabric: twelve shelves of little portions in shades of blue, purple, green, yellow, and orange. Some potions are seasonally decorated with plants, stars, or skulls. The fabric is wrinkled and a little frayed.

Textile QR Codes? Yes, that works. Tested for you on FrauD's QR code cross-stitch embroidery workshop at #38C3. Requires a needle, about nine meters of thread ... and a little patience 🧵🧵🧵 #qrcode #crossstitch #hypotheses #pixel #pixelart

Can't even remember how long I have been working on this - probably 10 to 15 years. Very inconsistently. Time to finish it me thinks. #crossstitch

More borders and more road.

I was a bit lost as to what to do in London, but now I have a plan. 🗺️

#crossStitch #sewing #craft

Leaving the ponies behind and heading off to university. 😢

#crossStitch #craft
A cross stitch sampler in the middle of being made. At the bottom, below a field of ponies, is a small university building. It looks very small and lonely.

All fenced in.

#crossStitch #craft
Work in progress cross stitch sampler. The bottom section shows six horses between two fences
#craft #crossstitch

And now we need a fence to keep the ponies in! And of course… more borders.

#crossStitch #craft
Work in progress cross stitch samplers. Lots of animals and trees. Ponies at the bottom are starting to have a fence out underneath them.
#craft #crossstitch

And the last of the ponies - another two Haflingers - Nicky and Aurora

#craft #horse #crossstitch #needlework

And another pony.

And yes, they have names. Left to right we have Babs, Sailor, Spice and Sandy. Babs and Sailor were Haflingers, Spice was a TBxID (a big fearless mare who would jump anything you pointed her at) and Sandy was a Welsh Section B x Arab and went like the proverbial off a shovel (she jumped ridiculously high fences too).

See. There’s reasons behind all the oddly scaled critters.

#crossStitch #horse #craft #fiberArt
I work in progress Crosstitch sampler. At the top there are leaves and trees and flowers and deer. below that there is four leaf clover, cats, Pigs, acorns and a big flower. then there’s a fence. Below the fence are four ponies two Palominos then a bay and then a chestnut. There’s space on the right for two more ponies.

#craft #horse #crossstitch #fiberart

Even more ponies.

Well in truth the bay was a big TBxID but my cats are the size of pigs which are the size of acorns so I think I gave up on scale along time ago…

#crossStitch #crafts #needlework
Partially completed cross stitch sampler. There are lots of animals, trees and flowers which are all stylised rather than realistic. The part currently being worked on has two Haflinger ponies and a bay.
#crafts #crossstitch #needlework

#crossStitch #needlework #crafts #horses
Work in progress cross stitch sampler. There are deer and a forest at the top. Then there are cats, pigs and acorns. Under that there is a palomino pony and another partially completed pony. Everything is stylised and the scale is odd. There’s also a decorative border on the left, top and right.

Pigs and panthers are contained.

Completing this by end of year is looking increasingly unlikely. 😔
