Nearly two years since my last post here!  I didn't realise it had been so long since I posted anything, but as I haven't acquired any peacock themed items up until recently, there hasn't been a...

One of the members of the Embroiderers Guild was at the talk about embroidered peacocks that I presented a few months ago.  She came up to me today  and gave me this stunning beaded shawl.  Sh...

I suppose I could get into trouble, posting this on my blog, but really....it's not doing any harm, and I am not claiming it to be my own work - far from it!   It was published on a Melbourne ne...

I don't know if anyone is reading this blog any more.  I haven't heard from my old friend Lakshmi in India for months, and I really miss reading her blog, which is now closed to all but a select...

There is an incredible amount of patchwork fabric available featuring peacocks, and I have a few metres of different fabrics, but when I saw this panel on an Etsy site (or was it eBay?  I get t...

I work in an opportunity shop in Eltham, one day a week.  Today this scarf was in a box of donated clothes, and the manager brought it out to show me.  Talk about being in the right place at th...

I hope my readers understand that the reason I haven't posted anything on here for so long is simply because I haven't found any more embroidered peacocks since I last posted.  I still haven't, ...

A few years ago (I think?) I posted a photo of this duchess set here. I bought it on eBay, with only a bit of embroidery already done. I've been working on it all that time, in between other proj...

Today I received a parcel from a friend in Canada who like me, loves vintage textiles. Knowing my passion for peacocks, she thought of me when she found this beautiful embroidered table runner or...

I have deleted the previous post inviting other people to contact me with their own peacock creations, as I only got one or two responses, and a Facebook link, which I don't use.   Today I re...

My friend Sharon slipped these in with a book for my birthday last month, but I forgot to photograph them at the time. Paper craft embellishments...my mind is already buzzing with ideas for a c...

A friend in the USA sent me some fabrics I needed for a project, and knowing my love of peacocks, she included some extras in her parcel! A fabulous machine embroidered peacock which looks like ...

Like most bloggers, I love receiving comments on my blogs, and always try to respond to them by posting a comment on your blogs. But lately it has become increasingly difficult to access some blo...

This is also on my linens blog, but being peacocks, I had to post it here as well. I already have another cloth embroidered with exactly the same design, but in different colours. Sadly, this one...

This was sent to me along with a fabric postcard, from Sheila in Scotland. The postcard was for a birthday postcard swap we are in, and she sent the little peacock as an extra gift because she ...

Well here it is, finally finished with backing and binding - thanks to a dear friend who is much better than me at those finishing touches! She had some orange scraps which looked much better t...

I've already posted this on my other blog, but it really belongs here! I borrowed a book from the library, called "Miniature Embroidery for the Victorian Dolls' House". It has the cutest tiny d...

I started this last year when I got hooked onto crazy patchwork, but I had so many other things to do that it didn't get finished. But this year is to be my year of finishing UFOs, and this blo...

The proverb "One good turn deserves another" certainly proves itself over and over again for me with my cyberspace friends. I sent some unworked vintage linen pieces over to Lakshmi in India, bec...

That's what it felt like when I collected my mail yesterday! One of the packets was from Robyn, a lady who I got to know through eBay. Whenever she comes across embroidered peacocks, she lets me ...

I've had these for a while, but hadn't got around to posting a photo because they were too hard to photograph. I had to find a dark background, and when I re-discovered them tonight while sear...

Nicki Lee commented on my last post, asking about the pattern for the bookmark. I was happy to post it to her, and she has responded by sending me this lovely piece of vintage embroidery which ...

A few years ago, I bought a cross stitch magazine which had a freebie included with it, of a peacock bookmark. I've been working on it ever since - bit by bit - but last week I decided I wanted...

I've had a few people drop into my other blogs and ask if I'd closed this blog because nothing had been posted for so long. No, I haven't closed it - I just haven't found any more embroidered p...
