Swedish Huck Weaving/Monk's Cloth
|
|
|
|
These are some bookmarks I created with Swedish Huck Weaving (a.k.a. Monk's Cloth). They were all stitched on 14 count Aida cloth.
I absolutely adore Huck Weaving. It goes very quickly. A bookmark is a project that can be completed in a relatively short amount of time, as compared to something cross stitched. (I don't have a photo of the backs of the bookmarks, but people always marvel at them, because you can't see anything! Literally, the back of a huck-woven piece has no threads showing whatsoever and looks like an unused piece of fabric.)

Small cross stitch pieces - "cover kits" from British cross stitch magazines
|
|
|
|
These are some small cross stitch pieces I made from British magazines. Though I've bought many American cross stitch magazines, I especially liked the British magazines for both their detailed projects and the free cover kits. :) I never met a free cover kit I didn't adore! ;D

Small cross stitch pieces from various places (mostly kits)
|
|
|
|
In order to feed my cross stitch addiction, I often purchased small, inexpensive kits that I could carry around with me. They fit in my handbag and were good for times I got stuck waiting somewhere, when a larger project would have been too cumbersome.

Cross stitched bookmarks
|
|
|
|
These are all cross stitched bookmarks that I made. Some are from kits included in British cross stitch magazines (which are also in the album of British cross stitch magazine cover kits), some are from inexpensive kits I purchased to carry around with me for times I'd be stuck waiting somewhere. At least one of these is my own design.

Cross stitched "tags"
|
|
|
|
Many years ago, I found a few "tag" kits to cross stitch on sale. These were small kits that didn't take a long time to make. They're a little too big to classify as bookmarks (and they're not really bookmarks, as they're made to be hung on a wall!), too small to be classified as medium sized pieces. Thus, I say they deserve their own album!
Note: I had forgotten I had a name tag in here. This was not from a kit. It came from a British cross stitch magazine, Mary Hickmott's New Stitches. I'm including it in this album because it's a tag!

Medium size cross stitched pieces
|
|
|
|
These are pieces that required a pretty decent amount of work, but don't qualify as large pieces. Many of these were kits.

I have a few designs I created...some are licensed characters (like Tweety), which I can't sell. A few of these are in this album.

Large cross stitched pieces
|
|
|
|
These are the biggies, the ones that took months and months to stitch. I normally didn't keep track, but I do remember one of the pieces took about 6 months altogether to finish.

Jeweled beaded bar pin4192 viewsI made this for a class I was teaching. This is the manufacturer's (Mill Hill) photo, as mine didn't turn out. I don't own this one, as it was the property of the store which held the class. This is made in peyote stitch.

Three Christmas Bears6624 viewsThese three little bears were kind enough to pose for me after I did a little stitching on their outfits. The two girls are wearing Aida cloth aprons and the boy is wearing an Aida cloth scarf.

Get Well Soon Bear6831 viewsThis is just about the only item in this album that didn't come from a kit (if not the only one). This was a design in a British cross stitch magazine (but not a cover kit). I'm including it here because I'm not sure yet where to place it (and may ultimately include it in another album, as well).

Lil' Elmer5314 viewsI call this piece "Lil' Elmer" - for his Elmer Fudd eyes. One can only imagine that before he started going after "wascally wabbits," he was once a wee bairn, who perhaps looked like this one. Hmm...though I guess most of us really don't want to know. ;D
