Two More Fairy Steed Embroideries...

Brynwood Needleworks - Embroidery Detail

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying reading all your comments on my 10th Anniversary Giveaway post! I know you're out there, but having you leave a comment - especially those who say they love reading blogs - over Facebook and other platforms - really warms my heart. This is definitely a celebration that gives back to me much more than any of the gifts I'm going to share with you. Thank you again for being so wonderful!

I spent Thursday creating the two pincushion fronts for the fundraiser. The winning bidder will be able to choose one of these designs, and the other will go into my shop. The colors of the flowers are slightly different, as are the embroideries. They'll also choose how I'll fill it...crushed walnut shells, or lavender.

I especially love the nature of hand made, in that, it doesn't have to be the same every single time. I stitch the embellished flourishes freehand every time - I don't draw on the wools, I just start stitching and go where my muse leads me. 

This is only the third time I've added french knots to the embroidery, and I love how it adds a touch of whimsy to each piece. The other aspect, is that no two pincushions are ever exactly alike, so each one is truly unique.

Once the bidder has paid for the auction, I'll be donating back 100% of the winning bid. (I think I'm expected to deduct my costs, but I'm not going to.) This high bid was $70, and it's all going to the fundraiser. The clutch sold for $50, and I'll make that after I hear back from the winner. They get to choose the color Corgi I'll embroider, as well as the color of the base fabric for the bag. Once it's finished, I'll share a photo of that, too.

Enjoy your weekend, dear friend, and thank you again for entering my giveaway by leaving your beautiful comment on that post. If you haven't done so yet, just click on the celebration button at the top of my sidebar. I've found a few new items that I'm going to add to the giveaway list. I just might get to ten items for ten years! See you again tomorrow.
