~Faerie Kisses Quilt......Vine Border~

The last time I blogged about my Faerie Kisses Quilt was when I was stitching the border above

Finally both borders are on YAY!!!!!!

One of the sections of the quilt

This quilt has quite a lot of stitching and beading on it

I had to test it out on a bed

and here it is in the afternoon sun today!!!

This quilt is an absolute joy to stitch and perfect for the evenings...

Today I'm off to take JoJo to a local production of The Women at our local theatre group

The Women is a 2008 American comedy film written, produced and directed by Diane English. The screenplay is an updated version of the George Cukor-directed 1939 film of the same name based on a 1936 play by Clare Boothe Luce.

Happy Stitching...and Happy Sunday...Dzintra

Faery Kisses...The Seventh Kiss, And A Word From Shakespeare!!!

Here's a post I've been wanting to do for a while...

This gorgeous quilt...Faery Kisses by Helen Stubbings of Hugs'nKisses done in cooler colours...

Each BOM (Block of the Month) is called a Kiss...

I fell in love with the warmer coloured one at Rosemont The Patchwork Shop completed by Jo...
I also couldn't resist the 'sewing writing' around the border...

If you see a faery ring
In a field of grass,
Very lightly step around,
Tip-Toe as you pass,
Last night Faeries frolicked there
And they're sleeping somewhere near.
If you see a tiny faery Lying fast asleep
Shut your eyes And run away,
Do not stay to peek!
Do not tell Or you'll break a faery spell.

William Shakespeare
Part of my Faerie series.


My quilt top ready for the Faery Ring border...

I've done a lot of beadwork on it also...will take some close up pics another time...


The edges of the wings are maroon Mill Hill beads

Before the hearts were sewn on...

And the bit I've been busting to get to...the 'sewing writing'...

And the perfect book to have by my side while I stitch with these very special Faeries...

The Secret Lives of Elves and Faeries, From the Private Journal of The Reverend Robert Kirk...

There is a Faery Kisses gallery over here...
And I still love this quilt as much today as I did when I first saw it 5 years ago!!!

Stitcher's Angel Gifts have been sent...and Received!!!

This year I participated in the Stitcher's Angel project run by Helen

I was quite nervous about this my first swap...after deliberating should I...or shouldn't I...due to my course and the role of caring...I finally decided Just Do It!!!

These are the gifties all wrapped up...

little drawstring bag...needlecase...and a pincushion...
with a couple of fat quarters and some floss!!!

These have safely arrived in their new home at Marian's

If you get a chance hop on over to Marian's...

she handweaves on a loom using traditional weaving techniques using hand dyed Australian yarn with specialty yarns eg. silk, mohair, lycra, fine copper wire amongst other yarns.

I have thoroughly enjoyed making these items for you Marian...

and Thank You Helen for bringing Stitcher's the world all over together!!!


Helen at the moment is having a giveaway of these 2 patterns...

the one above is Tagged and Bagged...

and this one is Belle of the Ball!!!

Have a lovely week Friends...and it's so good to see the warm weather back with us again...

I can see plenty of Salty Blue Days ahead!!!
