A Finish, A Freebie and Bobbins

Hi Everyone

It's some time since I've had a finish.  But "Popcorn" is ready and posted off today.  Here are some photo's of him.  I can't believe that it's taken me 3 months to stitch!!

I have began a new start on a freebie from DMC.  It's of Ollie Owl from the "Woodland Folk" and you can download the free chart from here.  Here's how it's progressing.

Bobbins

I've noticed a few blogs regarding bobbins, that I wanted to share with you.   The first is by "Wild Olive".
These Wound-Up Thread/Floss Bobbins are all set for you to print out on card stock and wind up your own embroidery thread/floss on. The PDF has 20 bobbins, each with a different colour thread/floss on it...but of course, you can use them for all your lovely colours!

The next one is by Las Telitas de Mariisa, who gives a tutorial on how to make and cover bobbins with  material.   They also look great with ribbon or lace wound around them!

And lastly, I found some lovely pretty designs for you.  You will have to scroll down to find lots of different designs.  Aurorebbb.canalblog.  Or you can try the archive list here.


 Until Next time, Happy Stitching Everyone
