Finally finished my yo-yo pincushions.Stitched on 32 ct Graziano raw linen with dmc thread then dyed in coffee to get an old look. I made little blanket stitches on the edges as usual.Those designs were inspired to me by a 1853 german sampler. You can use them as pincushions or you can put lavender inside and use them as ornaments on a door handle...or window.. you can work with your fantasy and enjoy in stitching them as they're easy and simple to make. The patter is ready to sell, if somebody is interested in it please contact me , you can find my mail address at top of the page.

WHAT A BEAUTIFULL DAY!
Ci siamo incontrate ed è stato un turbine di chiacchere sul ricamo sui nastri ,sulle confezioni. Ognuna di loro ha portato da vedere cose deliziose. La foto di ensemble vede da destra sedute:Marilou e Paola, dall'alto a sinistra Angie, io, Patricia e Anna. Gli splendidi pizzi fotografati e la matassina di fili di lino nonchè la scatola di biscottini prelibati sono un gradito regalo che ho avuto il piacere di ricevere! Ragazze che bel pomeriggio passato insieme!
We had great time yesterday in my house, some dear stitchers friends came to visit me and it was wonderfull. You can see all of us on the picture: sitting from right Marilou from Lyon, Paola, standing from left: Angie, me, Patricia and Anna. Angie and Anna brought me some lovely gifts as you can see from the picture: old laces and linen thread, and delicious biscuits from Casale Monferato.
Thank you girls for the lovely time spent together!

1876 SEWING POCKET
I was very well impressed by a 'darning sampler' in Anversa museum, it was un unusual one with beautifull pots of flowers on the very top part of it. I was so inspired by it that I decided to make a new design reproducing one of those pots of flowers.
I hope you'll like this aged sewing pocket, I added old key and old buttons ...some of my favourite things.If you're interested in this design please contact me.

Il piatto decorato a mano che vedete nella foto è quello che ho avuto l'onore di ricevere.
Back from Macugnaga san Bernardo fair, bad weather but lot of lovely people really interested in my stitching.I've been attending this market for eight years, the fisrt year I got the first prize as the best exhibitor and now, after eight years, I got it again!!!! I'm very proud of that.The decorated plate pictured is the prize that I've been honorated to receive.

Old style pincushions.
Questi sono i primi due, ho aggiunto della passamaneria tinta a mano nel caffè così come di consueto faccio con il lavoro una volta ricamato.
I'm still inspired by duch samplers saw in Goes and Antwerpen museums, so i designed some new. Those are two pincushions first of a serie of four, I sewed coffee dyed ric rac as usually do with all my works after stitched.
More later my dear friends...
