Dandelion Designs Craft and Stitching Patterns and Kits, Threads and Fabrics, Dolls and Bears

This pattern contains the templates for eleven pin keepers one of which commemorates the Royal Wedding!!

These are fun and easy to make and give you a warm relaxed glow as you sit sewing in front of the log burner!!!!! They look lovely on the Xmas tree or on one of my raggy garlands. You can make as few or as many as you like, they are lovely as gift tags!

This is a lovely garden stitchery. I have chosen to sew it in a variety of colours but have seen in made in all red and all green, which looked just lovely. There are few simple school girl stitches that will come flooding back to you and in next to no time it will be finished. This time I chose to frame it with an junk yard frame but you could just back it, and bind like a little quilt.

I designed this especially for the month of Febraury with Valentine in mind, I know your loved ones wont necessarily need a 'lurve' pillow but us girlies still need a bit of romance in our lives!!!! Finished size approx 12" x 12"

This is a sister piece to go with the quilt of the same name.
Redwork is so easy and rewarding to do and can be popped into a bag for you to sew anywhere!!
I believe we should all follow our own Stars and be proud of what we achieve instead of comparing with others. I would prefer if you all made this redwork and put a little of yourself into the work instead of being exactly the same as mine, go on try its good fun and allowed!!!

Our summer holidays would not be the same without going fruit picking. We have a wonderful farm near us with a nature trail and tearooms, Its always full of children with their little mouth and hands stained red from the fruit. This year the farm grew sunflowers for our local hospice. We walked through the field and made faces in the sunflower heads by remove some of the seeds, a real memorable delight. I designed this little piece of red work on that memory. 

Inspired by the lovely xmas carol of the same name ,this easy and quick redwork makes into a garland which you can hang over a mantle , shelf, or on the wall. it fits in the hand bag , so you take it anywhere with you, you could almost do it with your eyes closed. 

A very quick, and easy little project that you can carry around in your handbag to do. It will measure approx 18" x 24" when it is finished. The pictures can be adapted to make the quilt more personal to you and relevant to events happening in the world around us, so look out for other ideas for each month. It is sewn in redwork and measures 18" x 24"

Here is a lovely little bit of red work for you to do in an evening. You can use it as a wall hanging, a panel in a bag, or as a sewing machine mat. The larger heart hangs off the bobbin winder as a pincushion and the smaller one hangs off a pair of scissors so you can find them easily. They are all a delight to make so get cracking and make an extra set for your sewing friend. Finished size approx 8" x 10" 

This is a Family Birthday Calendar sewn in red work, designed to record all
Your birthdays whilst telling what flower is about to
Bloom that month (depending where you live of course!)
Brown tags hang off pearl buttons that will record whose birthday it is. A little gem.! Size approx 13" x 16" 

I adore buttons and spend many hours sorting them all into different tins and jars. Just occasionally I find a really special button that is beautifully carved, or has an unusual shape or colour that I just cannot put back in the tin with all the rest, that's when I came up with this little design.
It measures 8 ½" x 6 ½", and would only take an afternoon to sew out of scraps you may have. You could make lots for different types of buttons, but one will do for now.!
