Dots and/or Stripes at Unicorn

 

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Dots and/or stripes

I made this card for Love Quilts UK, a charity that makes beautiful cross stitched quilts for sick children.  Each quilt is made up from 12 cross stitched squares according to whatever theme the child would like.  A card is also sent with the quilt.  This card is for a little boy who is deaf and has cleft lip and palate. I have also stitched a couple of squares for the quilts.  If you would like to know more their website can be found here.

Christmas is Coming at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Include Pearls/Bling

I've made these cards in 3 different colours.  They were quite quick to stitch up and I decided to change the individual stitches for the lights into beads as I have quite a few in my stash.  I'm really pleased with how they turned out.



Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Go Gold for Childhood Cancer at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Gp Gold for Childhood Cancer.
 

This theme was my choice.  I was inspired by a little girl local to me, Sophie Fairall, who sadly passed away a year ago at the age of just 10 from cancer.  Her family have been fighting to raise awareness of childhood cancer and improve the hospital experience for sick children and their families ever since.  September is childhood cancer awareness month which I didn't know about before. To find out more about Sophie's journey and her remarkable legacy please visit https://www.sophieslegacy.co.uk/

Summertime at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Summer Time

  Who doesn't love a bit of nice summery weather?  I'm lucky enough to live 10 minutes from the beach and it's just beautiful at this time of year.  Ive made this summery card using a chart from a magazine, hand dyed fabric by KLT Charting and some paper from a pad I bought in Lidl.

Christmas in July

 

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Christmas in July


 I've made this card using variegated DMC thread, I thought the colours quite suited the Christmas tree chart.  Luckily I had some tree paper in my stash which I think goes quite well too.


 Seems mad to be thinking about Christmas already but it'll come round soon enough!
