now before i start i want to say sorry to all the people who read my blog for not updating it for months!
ive been really busy with another job, stitch events and just busy with life.
ok now for my stuff =)
Pokemon Charity Patches
over the last few months ive been working on seven squares for a massive pokemon quilt for the japan tsunami fund. A group of stitchers including myself are making 81 patches of all 151 first gen pokemon. So far we have made 45 at the time of posting this and ive done all of mine =)
here they are:
Each one took around a week or two depending on the fact i sometimes had to wait for colours to arrive.
doing these made me want to take a break from my normal ‘epic stitches’ (as they are being called) and start some smaller projects.
well thats what most of my time was spent doing but i also did these over the summer:
Events
one of many events that happened was the stitched science event.
over the weekend we showed people how to cross-stitch and had a little selection of my work on show. it was a very funny event where most people who came didnt want to leave because they were having such a good laugh =)
I decided to just enjoy the weekend while teaching cross-stitch and if people liked it then hope they keep it up, if not then thats a shame.
this was one of many events where i helped jamie Mr X Stitch.
Another event was done by phil ‘urban cross-stitch’ davison. it was on a boat at the tamesis dock on a boat……….yep a boat!
As you can guess it was almost imposible to stitch on a rocking boat! Even this didnt stop it from being a really funny day out stitching =)
this was a promotional event for blue moon beer where if you buy a beer you get a free cross-stitch pattern. I havent really started this yet because of the fact that my girlfriend still feels sea sick just thinking of that day.
it was good to catch up with phil again after going a image for his book that came out in june. Ive not seen it yet so i might go to waterstones and take a look over the weekend.
