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.

Swans10290 viewsI love swans and I loved this project. I believe it was stitched on 14 or perhaps 18 count blue Aida. The card itself was provided with the kit.

Rebel Rouser7481 viewsClassic denim jeans and jacket with black "turtle-neck" dickey. Since the dolls are so small, sleeves under the jacket would be unnecessary added bulk.

Christmas Bear - "I'm ready for my close-up!"10516 viewsI stitched the gift design on this sweet little bear's apron for a store demo. She wanted to pose by herself for me. She's a model, you know. ;D

Dolphin Name Tag5543 viewsThis is the only one in this album which didn't come from a kit. It's a dolphin name tag created from a pattern in Mary Hickmott's New Stitches. IIRC, I found a cross stitch alphabet that I liked and plotted the letters for my name in the middle. (I don't remember if one was supposed to put a name in the middle.)
