Embroidery Trio for a little corner

 

Finishing up this adorable Un Chat dans L'Aiguille pattern has been an absolute pleasure.  This is Quand Salome se promene a velo (When Salome Rides Her Bicycle).

As you can see she has been finished in a wrapped hoop (pretty co-ordiniating Tilda fabric for the win) and joins two previous finishes from Un Chat Dans L'Aiguille in the play area of our living room.

Enjoyed every stitch of making this corner pretty!

Fully Finished Embroideries

February is marching on apace and I need to do a few catch up posts documenting my makes and progress.  Today I'll start with some sweet embroidery finishes.

Emilie Aime La Pluie (kit from Un Chat Dans L'aiguille) was started back in October and I got more than halfway before Emilie succumbed to our redecoration and then Christmas plans.  But I was determined to finish her completely so she can be hung up and admired.  It just took one evening at the end of January to add all the finishing stitches.  I do love this little design so much!

I had also joined the Un Chat Dans L'aiguille Noel SAL slightly late (mid-November, I think) with great intentions of finishing on time to display for last year's festive celebrations.  I was going great guns at one point (not sure I ever shared progress here) but then I hit the bullion stitches and got myself a bit hung up on them.  So I basically avoided it for a while before running out of time to achieve a pre-Christmas finish.  So better late than never, this one also got a little attention late January to complete the stitches.

A little fabric wrapping of hoops created a perfect finish for both the embroideries and I really am delighted to have them as Fully Finished Objects (FFOs).

This week I wrapped another hoop and mounted the previous Un Chat Dans L'aiguille Follow Your Dreams SAL piece.   This one is so spring-like and cheerful. I can't wait to hang it up now.  

It feels good to get things properly finished up and to be able to enjoy them better than when they're lying in a WIP pile!

Emelie aime la pluie embroidery

 

We've finally embarked on the fixing and redecorating of our house. Well, we've done all the preparation and now the painters are in, with carpet fitters due at the end of the week (I very much hope).  While I'm in the lull between prep and putting back together, I'm putting my feet up with a little 15cm embroidery.  After all, I'm going to have lots of lovely freshly painted walls to hang things on, aren't I?

This little printed fabric kit is 'Emelie aime la pluie' (Emelie loves the rain) by Un Chat Dans L'aiguille.  It's sooooo cute and as with anything else I've ever stitched by Christel, such a pleasure to do.  Enjoying it immensely.  What are my chances of finishing it before Monday?  Sometimes I think 'totally possible', other times 'not a chance'.  It won't matter really though because it will be worth waiting for!
