Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

This will be stitched on to a piece of gingham print fabric and made into a pincushion. Posted by Picasa
Hi girls! Thanks for dropping by. Elisabeth, yes I do quite a bit of embroidery myself; I'm a member of the Embroiderers' Guild here in Melbourne, and have done a course in traditional stitching, although I have been sewing since I was a child - we all learnt at school back then! Zalita, I won't be posting another pic of this, as I have just tacked it onto a piece of gingham and made it up as the cushion, and it is now on its way to the USA. Thanks in advance for your pressie - I will of course post a message here as soon as it arrives!
Don't we all love cheerful pieces like this! Thanks for caring about my rug situation...they are coming today to have a look/see.
ReplyDeleteThat's cute, Gina!=)
ReplyDeleteSo, do you collect pieces of embroidery? Looks like you have some great items there to drool over! Ever thought of doing that kind of work yourself??
Elisabeth=)
this is really a cutie ! Can't wait to see it's finished as a pincushion.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I've mailed out the package last Friday, should be reaching you soon
