Shamrock Fobs
Here are my finished shamrock fobs. Gifts for my wedding next week. Love them but boy are the fiddly. I’m sure the 2 ladies who will receive them will cherish them. Instead is an Irish collectors coin.
Sparkly Owl Finished
My Sparkly Owl is all finished. His eyes glow in the dark. I love this design. It’s in The World of Cross Stitching Issue 272 still in the shops now. By Faby Reilly. He took me 25 hours to stitch.
Sparkly Owl by Faby Reilly
Out now in issue 272 of The World of Cross Stitching. I couldn’t wait to start this little fella on Monday when I received the magazine. But in my haste on picking the colours out of my stash, I didn’t realise until yesterday that I’d picked 435 instead of 436 !!!!!! Even seasoned stitchers do …
Flora Pouch and Fob By Faby Reilly

Sweet Heart Bookmark by Faby Reilly

Sweet Heart Bookmark. Now what to stitch next. I’m tempted with the owl out next week in The World of Cross Stitching. Chart …
