Here's my Bee-Jeweled Pincushion Project, from #marycorbetsneedlenthread. I don't have a bee button for it yet but keeping an eye out for one.
If I make another one of these, it might be a bit bigger. I did this over several months and I would approach it differently next time. Practise makes 'perfect'!!!

I posted to my blog yesterday (https://judycooper.ca) after a long break away from doing it. There is a brief update of our kitchen remodeling with a gallery of photos. There's still a couple of months work left to do in between other things. The grouting of the backsplash tiles is on the list. However, I believe there is a second stair railing been installed on the split entrance steps today!! Why? Because I'm not as careful as I should be - always in a hurry. I had a slight accident on Thursday, caught myself from major damage by catching myself with my right hand. Thumb came out of socket so er doctor had to do his thing. Anyway, it's on the mend but can't use it for a week. Such is life!!

Icebergs! There are lots of icebergs along the Newfoundland coast this year.

A number of years ago, I did a series of textile landscapes with icebergs in the distance. These images are totally from my imagination and are representations of the Newfoundland coast. The icebergs are from my photos that were then printed onto cotton, cut out and stitched to the background. The rocks were printed onto silk and hand appliqued in place. The sky and ocean are hand dyed. Lots of hand stitching and hand embroidery brought the pieces to life. Greeting cards were made from these pieces. The images are showing a bit darker than they actually are.

In fact, these shown here, will be going to The Matthew Legacy gift shop, Bonavista, NL, later this week.

I've got lots of cards from my textile art pieces on my website. You will find them under Product Collections. These have to be updated, as I have more cards to add.

These iceberg art cards will soon be going to Bonavista, NL to The Matthew Legacy gift shop. It seems the iceberg flow is early this year.
These cards are hand made. Techniques include hand painted backgrounds, manipulated dryer sheets for the icebergs and machine freemotion stitching.
Each card is unique.

Resized Needle Case. I wasn't pleased with the larger needle case that I posted a couple of days ago. So yesterday, I took it apart and resized it to 6 1/2" x 8 ". This is a much more convenient size and will fit into project cases. There is a place for the various needles used in hand embroidery such as tapestry needles, crewel needles, chenille needles and milliner/straw needles. Now, to get back stitching!

New project on the go. Here's the fabric before and after! The fabric, Gradients Parfait by Moda, was embellished with decorative yarns, covered with a navy tulle and free motion stitched with Sulky Sliver thread. Now the fun part begins - I have no pattern but an idea.

I finally finished 'Birds of a Feather, from Kim Schaefer's book, Cool Cotton and Whimsical Wool Quilts. To make it my own, I hand embroidered each leaf differently.
This one is for my granddaughter's birthday in March. She saw it in my studio before Christmas and loved the birds.

Red sky in the morning, sailors warning! Beautiful sky but ... Happy Tuesday.

Almost sunset! Sky is on fire. So far in January, we have seen the sun about five times. It seemed like an early spring day today. However, a winter snowfall is expected on Friday. Guess it had to happen.

Not my best stitching and here is why: I did this at night without good, closeup lighting. Sometimes a magnifier is necessary to see the faint grid lines which were put on using wax-free tracing paper. The fabric is a piece of linen from my stash and not traditional Sashiko fabric. The thread colours aren't really working with the red either, at least the green isn't.

I enjoy Sashiko work and received Susan Briscoe's
newest book, Sashiko 365, for Christmas. If so desired, there is a new pattern to stitch every day for a year! I won't be doing that. However, I will pick and choose various patterns to try.

First finish for 2023. This puzzle was a birthday gift, last summer, from a good friend in Newfoundland. I didn't have time to start it until a few days ago!
Hopefully, there will be many finishes this year!!!

Happy New Year to one and all!!!

Looking back to 1998: The Santa Pot Buddy! Way back when I didn't know what I wanted to do, I made a bunch of Pot Buddies. They sold at a local florist shop in downtown St.John's. I kept this one.

Boxing Day greetings from Pine Grove, Nova Scotia. I wish everyone a pleasant day. Here's my Sashiko Christmas Tree. It was completed a couple of years ago and hangs year round on my wall. The linen fabric is a dark sage green and has tiny gold seed beads stitched all over the tree.

My dark fruit cake, fresh from the oven! It's usually made earlier than this but life got in the way. My new wall oven did a splendid job baking this one.

I'm getting my granddaughter's countdown to Christmas wallhanging ready for December 1st. Now to wrap up the little gifts, most of which won't fit in the houses but that's ok. Gale looks forward to this each year.
