Crochet Gloriousness

 Earlier this month my lovely friend Annie from Nana Go Go sent me the most wonderful present, a handcrocheted bag in the most delicious swirling blues and turquoises.  It is a true delight;  she has put so much surface decoration and texture in it.

It undulates and wriths, swirls and twirls in woolly fabulousness.

 Quite simply, it is stunning and Annie is a genius!

 I think you will agree?

Pincushion Revealed

I can finally reveal the pincushion I made for the swap on the right as my partner Georgina has received it.  I patchworked 6 pieces of floral fabric together for the top and used a pink felt for the base.  I couched a decorative braid around the join and put a couple of buttons in the middle.

I received a lovely surprise last week, a parcel out of the blue, from Anne of NanaGoGo fame.  It contained some lovely fabric swatches, a mass of embroidery silks (some being used this very afternoon) and a pretty card.  I think Anne knows me well, big smile.  Big thanks again Anne, now I must away and get on with my stitching!
