I Say..

Last week I posted an order of needle-cases to the beautiful shop Few and Far, in time for their new Christmas window display. These are exciting times for Ellie Evans.

'Few and Far is a seasonally changing collection of furniture, clothes, tableware, toys, jewellery and craft personally selected by Priscilla Carluccio.

Our shop on the Brompton Road in London completely changes every three months and our windows feature the largest and most exciting pieces from each collection.'




The window displays are something pretty special, I went to have a look last Winter and was quite taken with it all. Definitely worth a visit I'd say.

Welsh Roots

I am proud to announce that one of my school report hankies is being included in the Christmas exhibition, titled 'A Winter's Tale' at the Oriel Myrddin Gallery in Wales. I'm pleased that some of my work can now be found in Wales, The Evans clan would be proud.

The gallery shop is also stocking Ellie Evans pincushions and needle-cases, Yippee!

Needlecases

I made a select few of these needlecases to go with my pincushions. I've wanted to make needlecases for sometime now, ever since finding a tiny little old one at The Antique Textile Fair in Manchester a couple of years back. I launched them at Origin and then showed them a few days later at The Great Northern in Manchester. I'm pleased to say that they went down a treat!




Inside view: Each one varies but has an inner made from an old wool blanket, I then hand blanket stitch around the edge to prevent any fraying.

How time does fly

For those who didn't manage to make it to Origin this year...
