You Blew Me Away
Some like it hot, and some like it with 150 kilometre per hour southerlies. I don’t know many of these people, though.

Turn Over a New Leaf
Designed by Mary Self
This design is based on a Stig Lindberg leaf design.
The outline of the leaves are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the leaf outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material.
You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.
Finished size: 24 x 28 cm

Hungarian Floral
Designed by Mary Self
I like the exuberance of Hungarian Embroidery, and how many variations you can get from some simple shapes. I first digitized the pomegranate outlines, then started stitching with 8 colours of the Madeira Lana thread. Each flower has every colour in it and no two are the same. This will be the start of something more.
The stitches used are chain stitch, split stitch, French knots, satin stitch, seed stitch and what I am calling bauble stitch for the top of the pomegranates.

Clamshell Bargello
Designed by Mary Self
I have always loved Clamshell quilts – but they are not easy to make. One of our local quilters made a beautiful one a few years ago with a black and white stripe bias around the clamshells. This inspired this design.

Tall Poppies
While there is an obvious connotation with this title with this title, I’ve gone with a literal illustration. The black and white border is something that has popped up from when I first began painting (too many years ago to remember) – an old recurrent theme!

We had a really windy day here in Wellington (funny-that) and I took the dog for a walk. Usually the wind makes me a bit grumpy – but on this particular day I found it quite exhilarating. I was moving with the wind, rather than fighting it – I loved it…

Tempting Santa
Was the night before Christmas
And no one was there
So I hung up my stocking
But it looked a little bare
So I hung up a few more
And it just wasn't right
So I kept on going
All through the night
By the light of day
Oh what a sight

The water was vaguely warm
The only sound, my own breathing
The little fish darted away and then back

Swimming in the lagoon:Samoa 2003. This is a really strong image that I took away with me – I would have had on a snorkle, but that is not such a pretty thing to embroider!
If I ever need a place to go in my head – where everything stands still, and all the noises stop, and there is no weight or pressure, then I use this.
