Fibre art bag

This little bag is made from scraps

 and many stitches

An iphone will fit in it 

An iphone or camera will be protected 

by the soft felt lining

 Have a nice weekend,

Sustainable dogbag

I like cross stitching,

 but I do not always know what to do

 with the finished works

 I had an idea, I made it as 

the pocket of the bag

 Someone will let the dogs out regularly!

Have fun, 

Gerrie

Small bag

Last year I cross stitched this cute cow

I mentioned it: cow cross-stitch

 I made a little bag for a cellphone or glasses

It has a soft inside from felt, so your 

belongings will be protected

Still available: Cow etui

 Take care, Gerrie

The Swans

The Swans on the top of my blog are just a

 detail of a beautiful image

Some curious cats

The cats nosy looking what is happening there. 

The fabric is 30 x 40 cm, 

what gives a nice passe-partout

The cats are in cross stitch 

 DMC thread was used for that,

DMC is my favorite trademark for 

embroidery thread.

Happy stitching,

Gerrie

as a pillow with some colored fabric around

Happy stitching, Gerrie

Swallow

Swallow

40 x 20 cm.

This Swallow image was in mirror on the pattern.

I did make a copy of it in reverse and did cross stitch it that way.
I think the gravity of this image is better this way.
The pattern is from the magazine "Susanna",
an Italian magazine with many cross stitch patterns. 

Greetings, Gerrie  

Cross stitch on colored Aïda

My favorite embroidery is cross stitching, 

all stitches the same size, going to the same direction.

The fashion nowadays is "everything is possible", big stitches, 

all sorts of fabric put together.

I like to see the results of that, there are very nice mixed media products to find on the net. 

But I love order. That´s why i tried this experiment: colored Aïda.

Wet a piece of Aïda,

 Cut a few parts of crepe paper

Roll the paper in the fabric,

 you don´t need much it has lot´s of ink

 Let it dry in the sun.

I like the result and still good  for cross stitching

Have fun, Gerrie

Ducks, cross stitch

Just finished those ducks in cross stitch. It is stitched 

on Aïda 18 cnt and with one strand. 

Personally I think it gives 

this sweet scene an even more fragile look.

If you get inspired, you can find the pattern, and other 

romantic cross stitch patterns, here:

Have fun, Gerrie

A Cute Crossstitch Chicken

A cute chicken.

And there she walks.

And now she walks on a little bag, that can be used 
for glasses, a mobile, or other small things.

Greetings, Gerrie
