The Big Reveal!

Finally, a bright sunny day to capture this latest piece of magic to arrive home after it's round the world trip visiting all my fab QB5 buddies! There seemed little point in photographing my feeble stitching attempt before my sampler left these fair shores in June! I thought I'd just be patient and wait for gals to come up trumps and they didn't disappoint!! what a beauty!
the first stop was Carole in New Zealand, she added a doily with little blue buttons
and a gorgeous flower centre!
next my stitchery crossed the world to begin it's American adventure! Patty added a beautiful TAP gal! I'm still amazed at the quality of this transfer technique, it really has all the detail of a real photo
and a beautiful (very old) button!
Nathalie decided it was time to play! and play she did!


a totally inspired use of an old T-shirt, a brilliant image! If all our mountains were this sparkly then I just know I'd learn to ski properly! really I would...

last stop Linda and her timepieces! I love these!


time to play, to dream, to create....

Thank you so much my dear friends for your stitching spirit, it's rather contagious and I will finish the corner you so kindly left me! it's a promise!

I caught myself wanting to say that yours was my favorite-- but they were EACH my favorite!

I didn't take up too much room, did I? heeheeehee.

Linda's timepieces were a brilliant addition. Patty's button, so unique! and carole's flower's-- well, your favorite color!

Shane Pollard said...

WOW!! This is such a beautiful stitchery Margaret and well travelled too.
Each one has it's own charm and I love them all. However the skiers ties in so well with Switzerland and I love it's quirkiness!
I've also seen Patty's which was completely different, so three more to come - can't wait.
You're a clever bunch of Queen Bees!!
