Ooooh! I recognise those lilies!
My Mum loves stitching Elizabeth Bradley designs, she has made us some beautiful cushions. I think she's wanting to do another one - I'll have to choose another design http://www.elizabethbradley.com/index.php?module=page&id=
As we're in Suffolk the Suffolk Punch and the Suffolk Lambs maybe?

The belt came out so well. I love it!

Oh how lovely that cushion is! I haven't done needlepoint for years, I SO admire anyone who has the patience to do it, (let alone actually finish a project!)

Those lilies look almost real! Both you and your mother are so talented!
But please don't get me obsessed about another craft I will start but not finish!

Your cushions are amazing. Your entire blog is beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to provide so much eye candy!

Have a nice weekend!

What a lovely cushion, I love needlepoint. I remember a friend of my mum, who I haven't seen for a long time, had some lovely needlepoint around her home, I was always so envious, I must pay her a visit, I am sure she now has more! Very clever to make the lovely belt too. x

Fantastic and such detail.

What an amazing belt - I've never seen anything like it before - what a very lucky sister!
I have nominated you for a meme over on my blog (post entitled 'A gift & a meme' for rules), although I found it a really time-consuming one, so no pressure to join in if the time/inclination isn't there! x

They are beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen a needlepoint belt, but what a good idea for a relatively quick project and a lovely result.

I love that belt; did you design it?
Posted by: tut-tut | Friday, February 15, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Wow. That is amazing work your mother's done! Did she design the image herself? The detail in the leaves are so nice.
