The end of 2019

December 28th 2019.

As we near the end of 2019 I thought I would share  9 of the projects I worked on last year. I was late starting. I was able about June to start to spend a space of time at my sewing machine, so lots were getting ready for Christmas show. In February when I booked my space for the show I had serious doubts wether I would have enough to show. But thinking signing up was encouragement to endevor to get well. Still doing physio but I have come a long way looking back to end of January. I have shared these pictures on my Instagram site and also Etched In Thread By Ally on FB.

i have just finished a commision for a lady for her husband but until she gives it to him am not able to share. But would like to share the threads that I used for it.

Also I made an apron for a budding baker for a Christmas gift and embroidered on my Embroiary machine on the pocket. It turned out quite well.

Here are a few more cards that I did this year and as I have sold out, my first project this year is to make more for my stock. And also I have a thread painting half finished so I want to complete that. Also in February I am running a couple of classes one for beginners a seascape postcard. And a intermediate class with thread painting of a larger landscape, so that should keep me busy.

Also there are a couple of things I want to experiement with so I will remember to take pictures to share with you.

Here are a few cards that quickly sold so want to make some more.

As one year ends and 2020 begins I would like to wish you Gods peace, health and happiness.

Bye for now see you next year.

Ally.

Merry Christmas from my home to your home.

December 23rd 2019.


I would like wish everyone a Merry Christmas and many blessings in 2020.

As promised, I would post the finished Alpaca that found its way to a good home.

Here are a few other projects that I have worked on.

My sewing buddies took a picture of the lap quilts that I donated to a nursing home to give to the clients that don't have  family or any visitors. They took photo before I had put on the binding and label.

I had an order of cards to do for someone who bought these at Christmas in Paris they liked them so much that they order another 14 to give as a gift a card then they could frame afterwards. She asked if I did speciality cards and I said I was thinking of doing that. I love to do thread painting but big projects are still a little hard on my shoulder if I sit at the sewing machine too long!! So I am learning to pace myself with short time spaces but the cards are not so time consuming.

I thought I would show you the commission I have just finished for a client for a Christmas gift but was unable to load more pictures. I think my poor old I Pad is telling me it is wearing out!! It is so slow now and the other day it shut down for a couple of days.

I don't think I will be in here again until after Christmas but I have a few things lined up to show and share with you. I hope this winter to play with different techniques in my sewing studio so hope I can share that with you.

May the joy of the season be with you and your as we celebrate Christ birth.
