A couple of years ago, a friend gave me 6 canvas Teddy bears and asked if there was anything I could do with them; if not she was going to throw them out. After some thought, I hand embroidered all 6 with different flowers and stuffed them with herbs. There was a Red Rose bear; a Pink Rose bear, A Lavender bear, a Lily bear, an Iris bear and a Garden flower bear. All got raffled off to charity, lol!



I hand made these kittens and hand embroider them with various flowers and colours; the most popular is the ‘Heirloom’ kitten with the pastel colours.



When I lived in Japan I was given some fabrics that sat for years and then I decided to make Lampshade covers out of them. My Lampshades needed replacing and I couldn’t find anything I liked, lol!



This is soon to be another clock; it was commissioned by someone who had the design as a Tattoo (I traced it off their back), but, then decided they no longer wanted it. If it doesn’t find a home, I’m giving it to a charity raffle, lol!



I’ve been asked by the SCBU Manager if I can do more of these blankets for the Summer and Christmas fetes (as many as I can she said, lol!). I love thread painting and will do another Bunny, a Kitten, a Puppy and….not sure what else yet, lol!



If anyone has some hours in the day to spare, can they please offer them up here in this thread; please and thank you!
