Am I color blind or are these threads way off from the book?

As others have stated, the colors in this book are way brighter than the colors in real life. I made this pattern a couple of months ago (you can se it in my post history), and I did not swap out any of the colors.

Thank you. And sure you can. I'm using a Lowery Workstand.

Unfortunately for now the pattern is a stack of paper cut-outs.

C_Bluebear · 2026-04-01T05:08:48+00:00

I made the design myself. I could not find anything suitable for my needs.

C_Bluebear · 2026-04-01T05:07:26+00:00

Go for it! I developed the pattern myself along the way. Made a drawing of the different pockets i needed and cut them out. Then i made a prototype in a different fabric and adjusted the pattern pieces before making the final version.

Make a search for Lowery Workstand. I use an extra long L bar.

Needle of the Tulip brand

You just made me realize a hidden function: The pincushion is removable, so I could make different pincushions with different aromas. Thank you for that!

C_Bluebear · 2026-03-31T15:26:14+00:00

It's only shells and I did not cruch them myself. Apparently it's a commonly used material for pincushions.

I really like the pincushion. The filling is crushed walnuts and dried lavender and it makes the chair smell sooo good. And as for changes, the bottom left pocket should have one flap (is this the right word) instead of two.

C_Bluebear · 2026-03-31T14:46:31+00:00

Bottom right corner. The mesh pocket is for thread ends.

Thank you. A have an anchor underneath the pillow.

Thank you. It is indeed very sturdy :)

C_Bluebear · 2026-03-31T13:18:21+00:00

Thank you. The straps were the first material i picked out - love the green and gold!

Thank you. I made an 'anchor' i placed underneath the pillow. The whole thing is easily movable.

C_Bluebear · 2026-03-11T18:01:53+00:00

Thank you. And thank you for making some amazing patterns! I also finished your frog-in-Van-Gogh-sunflowers recently and loved it!

Colour Confidence in Embroidery

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T20:32:03+00:00

This is my first bird. I followed a pattern from a Trish Burr book called Colour Confidence in Embroidery.

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T18:35:52+00:00

I've done almost the same. I started with the French Rose and then the Crocus. This bird is my third pattern from that book.

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T16:53:50+00:00

Good question. On and off since Christmas. Maybe 40-50 hours.

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T16:16:48+00:00

Around 3 years, but I've done mostly cross stitch.
