Love these Stitcheries!
by Judy Newman
WE SPOTTED THESE SWEET STITCHED DESIGNS AT THE RECENT SYDNEY
The series is called Simply Blessed and the designs are by the talented Rosalie Quinlan.
They are actually a Block of the Month which you can join, or buy the patterns individually. BeBe Bold have the Japanese version (that’s their specialty!) which features lovely yarn-dyed fabric.
Stitches are fairly basic – back stitch and satin stitch mostly, but of course you can use your own artistic license and stitch as you wish.
There are nine blocks in all with themes to remind us of life’s simple blessings – Family, Friendship, Enough and so on. They’ll make a lovely quilt or use a single one to create a cushion.
Jane from BeBe Bold comments that they have been very popular – understandably so – check them out yourself at Stand D02 at the Newcastle Stitches & Craft Show.
