Stitching Friends Summer Blog Hop 2020


Here we are friends, at a sort of meet and greet or "guess who's coming to dinner?" although since we're all social distancing, it will be more of a virtual guess who.

Jo very kindly is hosting this hop as well. Someday I'd like to be as organized as she is; thank you again Jo! Please check out her blog here for the list of all the participants and see if you can guess which stitcher we're talking about before you get to the end!

My stitching friend has been having a rough year, but she fortunately enjoys a drop of wine and a good book to ease the days toils. She lives in the UK and is a very generous person, giving a lot of time to her church, including some amazing ornament trees. This might be giving it away already, but just in case, here are a few designs I thought she might like. And because she's such a prolific stitcher of smalls, I'm trying to find new ones she may not have seen yet.


Perhaps a freebie from Mabel Figworthy's Fancies?


Or a new Fireside Originals?

Or a GPA Designs pinball, since she's quite talented at finishing as well, injured wing or no. ;)


Or a brightly coloured pincushion from Lindy Stitches?

Last one, I promise, perhaps this Jardin Prive? She's definitely got some French inclinations as well. 



If you're still not sure which stitcher I'm talking about, raise a glass and toast this amazing stitcher!



Happy Stitching!

  1. Your candle suggestion took me right back to making fake Xmas candles in infant school out of toilet roll innards and tissue paper, so maybe it's one for me to think about for Xmas too. Thank you from Lifeoutsidethewashingbasket

  3. Christmas trees was my good clue (maybe a drop of (french) wine too!). Love to visit Clare'blogs (her travels giving me the occasion to visit my own country!). This candle will be perfect for me, thanks for the link. Love. xxx Bisous. Nadine.
