Nous avons cherché un petit moment et nous nous sommes décidées pour ces 4 dessins d'Helga Mandl que nous allons donc faire chaque trimestre....
ça sonne plutôt noël , mais avec le temps que nous avons eu la semaine dernière c'est limite hors saison !!
La première partie est terminée et chacune de nous aujourd’hui va pouvoir poster sa broderie =)
Je n'ai rien changé au dessin , juste pris pour les fourrure des bonnets le fils un peu 'moumouté' que m'avait offert Anne à Noël plutôt que du simple blanc....
J'ai choisi un lin couleur ciel, et le flash de l'appareil photo le rend un peu plus clair qu'il ne l'est normalement.
L'idée de départ était de faire une guirlande avec des boules en tissu que nous aurions fait nous même, mais au final, les pièces terminées vont être trop grandes...j'ai donc changé mes plans, et je vais faire une petite nappe pour ma table de salon, avec les 4 broderies, et sous chacune d'elle Joyeux Noël brodé en Français, Portugais, Néerlandais et la langue qui nous unie toutes les 3 l'Anglais....
Il faudra attendre la fin de l'année pour voir le tout terminé =D
La seconde partie doit être terminée pour le 30 juin...d'ici là il y aura eu d'autres croix à vous montrer...
A bientôt

Our SAL...Annette...c'est ici
Our SAL... Nia .... c'est ici
Around Xmas last year, Carol made a comment about Annette, Nia & Me ... and we immediately made a kind of film in our head, imagining us as the 'terrible 3' at the end of the class room hehehehe...it inspired us a lot and we decided to make a SAL together (Thank you Petite Anne for this great idea =D)
We searched a while for the perfect designs to stitch and felt agree on these 4 Helga Mandl charts.
One per quarter this year (not trimester Nia =D) , it sounds Xmas but with the weather we had last week here it's not crazy =)
The first part is now finished for the 3 of us and we can show you today.
I didn't change anything except for the bonnets, instead of DMC white, I used the Whisper thread Anne offered me for Xmas
Pictures are not very good because of the bad weather we are having, and the flash slightly changed the colour of the fabric... I chose a sky blue linen, 14 counts
I really enjoyed this stitching
First my idea was to make a garland with the 4 stitchings , with baubles we would have made out of fabric ...but they are too big :-/
I had to change my mind !
I finally decided to make a table cloth , with under each piece Merry Xmas stitched in French, Portuguese, Dutch and English of course as it is the language that links us =D
But you will have to wait till the end of the year to see it
Next part must be done before June the 30th...till then you will see lot's of stitches here , I have lot's of pieces to show you !!
Have a great week

Your white also pops from the fabric :(((
RépondreSupprimerI choose the wrong one.. lol
I really love your piece Auntie Valma.. beautifull.
And the spacial white for the bonnets.. How great..
Yes that Carol.. see made the funniest saying.. lol..
We will keep that in it, for a long long time!!!
Your welcome..
Big hugssss petite Anne
Hubby says it's only because you didn't use the flash when taking the picture (oops, maybe you did =D)
SupprimerA picture never gives what reality is , my fabric hasn't this colour in fact
I'm sure your piece is very pretty as it's already on your picture
what a fun =D
can't wait to have the second part done....
big big hugs from Auntie Valma =D

Now I'm laughing by myself, going back in time to our talk on New Year's Eve!!! :D ooohhh my! We had so much fun!!! We really get along very well us 3 ;) heheheh
RépondreSupprimerOk, ok, trimester will never be the same word that it was before, no one on the blogosphere will ever read the word without thinking of me and laughing!!! :p heheheh
Your stitching looks adooorable! Just like Annette's :) just like mine too hahahah so fun to stitch the same thing as you 2 :) and wasn't this such an easy piece to stitch? I don't know if it's really easy, if it was the fact that I was stitching along with you, or all combined! It was so quick to make! And I'm anxious to start the next piece =)
Your finishing idea is wonderful! So special, so sweet :) wonderful way to connect all 4 pieces and us 3 too =) I will try to find a special way to finish too but I know I won't find anything better than yours ;) Congrats sweetie, extra points on creativity :D
Huge huuuuuuuuuug to you my sweet friend! :)
Your comment make me LMEO =D
SupprimerWhat a fun we had on the New Year's eve indeed
And it was great fun to stitch this piece, to prepare the post and 1 - 2 - 3 GO =)
As I said to Kate just above, sure if we had been at school together the teacher would have become crazy with us 3 =D
These designs are very sweet, and so easy and quick to stitch ! I'm very impatient to have them all for my finish =)
I made a drawing of what I want hehehe =)
thank you very much for your kind words sweetie, sure you'll find a great idea for the finish...maybe you can use my idea too =D
