The Dodecagon Series designed by Jim Wurth

This is another series that I thought would be useful to be able to see them all in one place.


The Dodecagon Series consists of twelve 12-sided designs each five inches in diameter and all uniformly shaped that were created by Jim Wurth of Wurthwhile Stitching.

Like I have done for such similar group postings before, there will be a link under each photograph so that if you are interested in reading more about one individual ornament and/or see additional photos, all you have to do is click on the link under each individual photo and it will bring you to the original posting.

Since I know how well these ornaments have been popular I am including herewith all the necessary information so that if you are interested in stitching them, you will know who to contact.

(Before I go any further I would like to mention that I have absolutely no vested interest in this designer or any other designers mentioned on my blog - I only do this in order to help both designers and stitchers)

Jim Wurth email address is as follows and he can be contacted at this address: JWurth@msn.com
Jim has a Yahoo group that has been created expressly for the Dodecagon Ornament Series and Jim is there to answer questions, but this is not an online class. Link for Jim's Dodecagon Ornament Series Yahoo group is here

Now for those of you who are wondering where these ornaments are being sold, here is a bit of information for you all.

Carole Lake's Glitzy Stitching Accessories

This is my name tag, as if anyone needed a reminder (smiling).

I love it.

For more information, please follow this link.

==================================

I was thinking the other day, an activity that sometimes can be dangerous to my own health, that it might be quite interesting to be able to see all the Glitzy Stitching Accessories that Carole Lake designed some years back together in one single place and not have to hunt them down here and there on my blog.

Under each stitching accessory I will give you the link where the original posting has been made so that if you want to know a bit more about each one or see additional photos, all you have to do is click on the link and presto you will be there.

This is an online class I took with Carole many years ago, at a time when there were not that many classes on the internet, unlike today when we have lots and lots of options available to us. For clarification purposes, I did not take that class because there was not anything else available to me at the time as I would have taken it no matter what. There was also a very strong incentive at the time for learning how to do the finishing. I must say that I have learned quite a bit with that series and even today I often refer to the instruction when I find myself in a special spot of bother and just can't remember exactly how I did this or that.

The only change I made with this project is a change of threads and canvas colors. Carole used reds and blues mainly for her Glitzy Stitching Accessories and I am rather partial to colors like coppers, gold and blue/greens, so when I went shopping I checked to see what was available in those colors.

This one is my frame weight.

I would like you to guess what I have put inside to give it some weight.

Anyone, any ideas?

If I say that no matter what happens to me I will  never be pennyless, would that ring a bell?

Right, I have put pennies inside, brand new ones too (big grin)

For those who may be interested in stitching these, here is a link where you can find them and have a go at picking up your own colors.

Happy Valentine 2011

H A P P Y   V A L E N T I N E

I was wondering what I could add to my blog for this Valentine as I have not stitched any new hearts lately and thought it could be fun to see the few hearts I have stitched so far all in one place.

I have a couple that are useful to my stitching and a couple that are just decorative.

The pink heart above is called Victorian Heart Pincushion and as his name implies it is a lovely pincushion. I must confessed though that even if it could be something to stitck needles in, I find it too lovely to do so and have so far kept it as a little decoration.

For more information please follow this link.

============

This little heart is called  Here's My Heart Scissor Sheath and contains a little pair of scissors.

For more information please follow this link.

==============

This very special heart is called Windows Into My Heart.

For more information please follow this link.

===============

The last heart that has been stitched so far is called Patriotic Heart.

For more information, please follow this link.

==============

I had almost forgotten about this Crazy Quilt Heart I made some time ago.

For more information, please follow this link.

=====================================

This little heart, I had completely forgotten until my good friend Terry who actually made it for me for one past Christmas, reminded me of my little omission (big grin).

For more information please follow this link.

Hope that you all have a lovely day!
