Cyber DYB

This is my naked block for this DYB starting on 22nd April.



My block is a part of "6" blocks, all of which have been embellished in another RR some 3 three years ago. (yeah! you read right 3 years ago - Hey, I'm not the UFO Queen of nothing). Anyway this is the one that I was supposed to embellish, and I have been waiting for this DYB project came along... I knew one would eventually LOL!!! So now I'm anxiously waiting for the 25th when the first lot of stitches are released for publication.

You can follow all the others members blocks and progress on this special Blog...

No. 9 Heart

Now here is the third one, it is my No. 9 heart to swap. I love the colours in this one and obviously so does the person who has claimed it. She happens to be another Faye and lives in Wodonga Vic. (so ofcourse she would like it as well.) Faye is new to this group C of H and loves Crazy stitching as much as me. She is doing a number of hearts herself to swap...

No. 8 Heart

I did say I found three hearts in my clean-up. This the the second one, No. 8. It has been claimed already by Cobi. I am swapping her for her "Apple Blossom" Heart. I haven't swapped with Cobi as yet, so I'm looking forward to receiving her heart. Cobi lives in Leiden Nederland, it's so nice to receive these heart from all corners of the world...

Heart No. 7

Well, here I am again after a few years of doing other things, back on my first ever group... It's been two years, nearly to the day, since I swapped and that was with Maureen B. I found these hearts, while doing a search for something else in my sewing room... Ha! Ha! Finished but never posted to the group. - (Sorry All) Chain of Hearts is the group I'm referring to and it has a wonderful band of members that are so talented in the work they do.

This is my No. 7 heart and is at present in my folder ready for swapping...

Maureen's heart

Let my show you the lovely heart, I have received from Maureen Bond in Victoria. Maureen swapped this bright cheery heart, for my No. 6 (below). This heart looks so much better in the hand, than on PC, the orange piece is a shiny velvet and the small cream flower has folded petels. Thank you Maureen, for swapping with me!!

My 6th Heart for Maureen B.

This is my 6th heart and I have swapped it with Maureen Bond, of Victoria. It has been a long time since I have done any hearts and really need to get a few more ready for swapping. There are so many wonderful hearts in the albums.

Heart No. 5

My 5th heart... Now you may think I have posted the wrong one and placed my No. 1 heart up again.
No, I haven't made a mistake like that, but I have to say it is very similar to it. I loved it so much I had to do another. Don't worry thay are different...
I have sent this heart to Jo in New Zealand, and she swapped her underwater heart for it. I hope you like this heart Jo as much as I love yours. Thanks for swapping.

More Hearts Received

Oh!!! lucky me, I have one of Jo's underwater scene hearts. I have received this wonderful heart some time ago from Jo in New Zealand. I love underwater scenes, and Jo has captured some great detail in this one. She has also used some very interesting threads as well.

Thank you Jo for swapping with me, I hope we can swap again later.

This wonderfully embroideried heart, has been sent to me by Zandra. It has come all the way from Hot Springs, Arkansas.

The work on this lovely heart is so tiny and neat, I just love 'Southern Belle'.

Thank you Zandra for swapping hearts with me, hope you enjoy my heart as much as I love yours.

Hearts Received

The second heart I received today was from Sabine Probst in Germany. I am so delighted with this lovely heart as well. It has some wonderful SRE on it as well as two bright red tatted butterflies. I'm so pleased to be doing these swaps, as it allows you to see other peoples wonderful work and techniques. Thank you Sabine for your lovely piece of work!!!

This heart is Belinda's and I have only just received it today. It really is exquisite. It has lots of her wonderful SRE roses on it, of which she is known for. She has also used lots of sequins with seed beads, but said, she hasn't used them before. Have a close look

at it and see if you can find the tiny green 'bear' amongst the

flowers. Thank you Bear for your lovely heart, it's wonderful.

I received this wonderful antique style heart from Sandie Willmott in South Australia, last Monday. It really is lovely, with an 'aged' silk print in the middle, surrounded by 'old' sequins and finished off with a piece of antique lace and seed beads. Thank you Sandie for a lovely piece of your work. Love it!!!

Heart No. 4

My 4th heart, has been requested by Zandra Pellet of Hot Springs Arkansas USA. This one has a hand made pansy and I have used small 'five petal' sequins on the right side. The green fibre under the pansy is called "Metal Coil", it's great to work with, as it can be moulded into any shape you want.

My first Heart No 1

Hello, this pretty heart is the very first one I have made... and I must say is is probably my favourite so far. I was very popular as well, so will have to make another one similar to it. The small crocheted motif has been made by a close friend of mine, many years ago. The little pink flowers are made from picot ribbon. This heart has been swapped with Sandie Wilmott in South Australia. Enjoy Sandie!!

Heart No. 3

Now for my third heart. This one is going all the way around the world, to Sabine Probst in Germany. Wow!! I have used some variegated silk threads and the pansy flowers have been purchased but are hand made just the same. I hope Sabine enjoys this one, when she receives it.

Heart No. 2

Here is my second heart, the lace on this heart is a piece of antique lace and I have hand dyed to match the fabrics I have used. The small roses I have put down the left side, are Iva's roses. This heart has gone to live with Belinda Sweeney who also lives in South Australia. So now, I have two hearts in the same state of Australia.
