Meet Athene, the fourth owl in my What A Hoot series. My What a Hoot series is a collection of SIX owls! Each owl is introduced in my newsletter at the beginning of each month ending in September. Did you know that Athene is a genus of owls – I didn’t! They are small owls…
I’m a big fan of using doilies in crazy quilting. Thrift stores are a goldmine when it comes to doilies. I used to purchase any and all doilies that were small to medium size. BUT, I found that the best are small lacey ones so I am far more particular in my selections than I…
Last month I featured a bargello heart and today I am featuring another bargello heart! BUT, this one shows a completely different combination of colours. If you would like to review the previous bargello article, you will find it HERE. If you are new to my Hearts for Hospice series you can find all my…
Last week I posted about card inserts so today I’m going to talk about stitched gift tags. Personally, I love the idea of a stitched gift tag. I don’t give cards all that much anymore but I do add gift tags to all my gifts. So, how about some stitched gift tags! This particular sample…

You will find many of these in your local needlework shop or in online shops. With a little research you will find some freebies online too. This particular peacock…
I have no doubt some of you cringe at the thought of spiders. Today, let’s talk about spider embellishments in CQ. I knew I wanted to add a spider to this area and naturally a spider needs a web. I’ve stitched webs before but I felt this section needed a little more pizzazz. While the…
I have titled today’s post Frank’s Rose. Why? Are you a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright? I am not going to provide a detailed history here but briefly Frank Lloyd Wright was considered the “father of American architecture”. He believed in designing structures that he called organic architecture – in harmony with humanity and the…
I have two Diamond Dreams to share today. Diamond Dreams is a pattern designed by Carolyn Mitchell. Both samples measure 2 ½ inches stitched on 18 count canvas. Here are two examples of using elements of a larger design. Remember, elements can be used to stitch smaller samples OR they can be re-arranged to create…
I posted previously that I would be featuring some card inserts. If you are a member of any sort of needlework guild then you will likely be familiar with card inserts. If not, members generally stitch small designs to insert into a card. Cards are given to members who are ill, perhaps have birthdays, celebrations…
Here it is, Iris #4. This is the fourth and final sample of Iris. If you have been following Iris, you will remember that I chose this design to demonstrate how using ONE design can appear different and/or similar depending on the placement of colours. Iris is a small design measuring 3 inches on 18…
