It was a bit chilly here last night, perfect for curling up under a quilt and doing some stitching on a WISP. 



I don't have much left to do.  I was always planning to make it a cushion, but lately I  have
been thinking maybe a wall hanging instead.  Please offer your opinion either way....I just can't decide now haha!!  This pattern is called "#78 Heaven and Nature Pillow" and is by  Bareroots. I did Google it but with minimal luck, so I think it may be out of print now.


I like the soft colours in this stitchery.  I have a cream and  celery green small check bit of fabric in my stash  that I think would make a perfect border OR  ruffle, depending on whether it ends up a cushion or wall hanging.  My home has 3 "themes", although they are all just minimal bits here and there, nothing too in your face.
I have seaside stuff (my little home is near the sea), Raggedy Ann, and Angels.  Eccentric, that's me!!


Here is the original pattern, which I love.  I personally find the outer border to be very pretty, but  a bit too "busy" along with the rest of the stitchery for my personal  taste, so I plan to skip that part.  So....please leave me a comment...should it be a wallhanging or a cushion?  I have equal room for both.  Thanks! xx debbie

  3. Very pretty design. I think I'd want to be looking at it-so wall hanging is my choice.
    Enjoy however you finish it.

  7. It's going to be pretty whatever you decide. As I just finished making two journal/scrapbook covers, I can see it making a very pretty journal cover as well.

  9. Very pretty pattern and so many hours of stitching. Maybe it will have a longer life span as a wall hanging to be admired every day.

    1. Cool that you have it too. Have you made it yet? I changed the colours around a fair bit myself. Part of it was being lazy and not wanting to change the thread (sshhh don't tell anyone I said that)! and part of it was I didn't like for example, the angel wings. Mine are variegated blue. xx debbie

  11. Ahhh. Decisions, decisions. I think I would like to see it as a wall hanging. It will show off the embroidery more than as a cushion. But whatever way you decide to go it will be beautiful.

  16. I love Bareroots patterns and you've done a fab job! I would go with a wall hanging too! but have you got space on your walls??? Either way, it would look great! I wouldn't say your eccentric.....just eclectic...a cool style to have!
