Cross stitch woodland animals calendar

 

Over a long period of time, I stitched these woodland animals for a calendar for Val. I've made similar calendars for the granddaughters. The designs were offered as a SAL through Lakeside Needlecraft. The designer is Durene Jones. 

The hangings were completed with a Kreative Kisi machine embroidery design with the cross stitch appliqued to the front.

Crafting with grandchildren

 

Julia's Pillow

Valentin's Pillow

I made this beluga whale
messenger bag for Sonja.
Somehow, I don't have a picture of
the fox one I made for Julia.

Sonja saw my little fabric
scraps and decided to make
these "little books".


God's Eye wall hanging

This wall hanging was made with God's Eyes made by Leslie's family on our camping trip in 2021. I finally hung them on this driftwood I found in Lake Chelan in September, 2023.

These are bowl cozies that can be used in the microwave. I made these for my sister-in-law.

 I made five kitchen boas 2 for myself, 1 each for two of my sisters-in-law, and 1 for Leslie. I didn't get pictures of the ones for my sisters-in-law.


Q-Snap Cover

This is a Q-Snap cover for cross stitch that I made for myself.




Bookmarks

More corner bookmarks.



These are made
by embroidery machine. I gave 
them to friends to use
