Hint 5 and Victoria House

I haven't had much progress on the cross stitch. I did take it away with me intending to work on it, but that was before I walked into Victoria House (more on that later). I did get a little done on Monday though, sorry it's a bit blurry. I guess it's not likely to help much.

 Wednesday to Friday my husband and I took a little trip down to Mittagong and stayed in the lovely Lyn cottage. Just down the road from where we stayed is the Victoria House needlework shop.

OMG!!!!!

I wish I lived closer. They are online, but nothing beats seeing the samples up close and being surrounded by all the gorgeous charts, kits and supplies. There is one room JUST for threads and stitching fabrics.

The lovely owner, Dionne, allowed me to take photos to share with you. There are 10 rooms stuffed with stock.

 Upstairs is most of the wonderful array of needle point canvases. I'm going to have to bring my mum here, and she'd better save up before hand.

My favourite room by far was the Mirabillia room. I could have spent thousands in there ... if only I had the time to stitch them all. There are more Mirabillia kits and charts scattered throughout the store.

Dionne also has a blog;

I bought a few little Mill Hill bead stitchery kits and started one in the cottage. It's nearly finished and I'll post a photo in the next day or two.

I was SUPER inspired by being in there and you can expect to see more stitching work from me soon.

Saturday's Clue

Well, I actually did get some stitching done, so today's clue is both written and stitched.
Here is the progress;

And the only written clue I will give is this; The pink curve at the top is as high as the design gets, but there is still quite a lot at the bottom of the design that I haven't stitched yet.

 

Confused?

 

Well there is plenty more stitching to come which will make it easier I'm sure.

 

Just for those who have missed the last posts;

this is a guessing competition. Guess what I am stitching and you can win a $20 gift voucher donated by The Stitching Post. They stock both needle craft and patchwork supplies and designs. All you have to do to enter is to guess. I won't tell you what it is yet, even if someone does get it right.

Please tell other's about the competition, I'd like to expand my viewer base. If you do post a link to my blog and this competition, send me an email , and I'll give you 5 entries ... just send me an email with the link (jenni@ exemail .com.au) without spaces of course

 

Thanks for playing

Today's Clue

All I will give you today is the progress from stitching yesterday.

Hmmmm, does that help at all? LOL

The fabric that I have used is called Angel Wings from Stitches and Spice

I'm not sure if I'll get much time for stitching today, maybe tomorrow will have to be a written clue.

Keep guessing, you can guess as many times as you like.
And remember I won't tell you if you are right at this stage.

Oh This Is Fun

Thankyou so much to the three ladies who had a guess. You've made my morning. I love the fact that cucki and Shez know me well enough to guess things I've stitched in the past.
I won't tell you if anyone was right, until much closer to the end of the stitching, to draw out the competition a bit.

Today's hint: It is a living thing

And a BIG thankyou to the Stitching Post who have donated the voucher.

I had a look around their store and if I was spending the voucher I would choose;
A Little bit of Country as a patchwork project.

or : Fern by Nora Corbett as a stitching project

Keep guessing!
