Hello beautiful stitchers!!

In this time of the year I want to thank all the stitchers that read my blog, for being here with very kind comments encouranging me to continue. i love to stitch but all we know that in some moments we loose for some time the interesting for stitching.

This was a good year and I hope was for all of you too

Please be safe these holidays and have a very nice time with all your family and beloved friends.

May the next year be full of thread, fabric,  finished pieces and a lot of new projects.

Stitching exhibition

Hello beautiful stitchers

Today I want to share an experience I had in last days here in Mexico city in the museum Franz Mayer.

I had the oportunity to visit an exhibition of embroidery labours of mexican girls and womans in XIX and half XX centuries.

This is the poster of the exposition

The meaning of the words stitched:

"This embroidery was made by Maria de Jesus Martinez in the Convent of the new instruction  in San juan de Dios, it concludes before age 6 "

Can you imagine a little little girl of 5 years almost 6 stitching in linen with silk??  Amazing!

This is the complete project of this little girl:

Other embroideries in the exhibition:

Almost all the embroideries were made in linen and threads of silk in years 1800 to 1910

It was a beautiful experience

I just want to share this special moment with all of you

Have a great day

Happy Stitching :)

Karen

Mystery Frog Sal -- KLT charting 2016

Hello beautiful stitchers

Today I want to share that I joined a mistery sal in the page KLT Charting

There are 12 frogs and the mistery is the pattern that you stitch in every frog, I found it very funny and interesting

Here is an example of  the last SAL

(photo taken from the blog obsessivecrossstitcher.blogspot.com)


You can join the SAL in their official page: HERE

The SAL begun in July 6, but I not so belated only 2 releases, I will put my best effort to reach the goal and finish in time =D

The official finishing date for this SAL is 31st January 2017

I will stitch in white  Aida fabric 22ct.

This is my progress 

Happy stitching =)

Mini Mandala Mistery 3

My next chatelaine is Mini Mandala Mistery 3

I choose to stitch on a piece of white linen 28ct

I choose all the supplies to options more affordable for me, not only because the money also the easiest way to find them here in my country, so in the case for varigated silk thread I chose the closest varigated DMC 

All the delicas and treasures I converted to Mill Hills

This is are the firsts stitches

Happy stitching!!  =D

First part finished!

Hello stitchers!!

I want to share my progress on my tapestry cat... this has been a challenging project, but It's one of the most beautiful results I have seen in my 7 years of stitching... I can say that Tereza Wenztler's projects are a true piece of art with a lot of beautiful details, every stitcher in the world should try it once in her life ;)
