Lynn sent me a comment and asked me if she could see my Michael Powell I mentioned in an earlier post this week as she wasn't familiar with him.
Well Lynn you're in for a treat! His stuff is just wonderful, colourful, and fun! Here's a link to his website for you to take look at all his stuff. Michael Powell is a Welsh artist and in the last few years a lot of his hart has been turned into cross stitch! Oh yeah when you're at his website be sure to become a member he has some nice little freebies. Also every now and again one of his designs tends to show up in UK magazines.
Some of you may wonder where do I buy my Michael Powell kits/charts from... well from one of my favourite shops : Knowledge and Needles
Here are the MP's I've stitched so far :
Mini Cottages 1-4
Mini Cottages 8
And My current MP WIP Mini Cottages 5
Have always wanted to stitch the MP freebie, but as always some other stitching gets in the way ;)
ReplyDeleteNice work on the Michael Powell's. That reminds me I have a bunch tucked away somewhere!! Neve enough time.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection! I really like his work. I think I even have a couple of kits to stitch up as well.
ReplyDeleteLovely collection of MP cottages. Great start on #5.
ReplyDeleteI like Michael Powell's designs too, your collection is lovely! I did the big middle design of Tuscan Gardens and it nearly finished me off LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI also love the MP website - and those freebies!! :D Your stitching is GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteWOW Dani, they are gorgeous! I've never seen him before...but I love his style!
ReplyDeleteI am also passionate about MP's designs, I have done two, and have two others to still do.
ReplyDeleteHe is very nice should you email him too. I suggested he have his patterns as a down load, like pattersonline, and he answered me personally - I thought his assistant would have got back to me.
I suppose if enough stitchers asked him to have his patterns as a download he may make them available.
Love the designs they are really unique! Your work is great
ReplyDeleteYour MP collection is very, very impressive!!
ReplyDeleteI just love your cottages. They are so pretty. Congrats on fine finishing and in processes :)
ReplyDeleteI just finished my first Michael Powell, but I have a lot more in my stash and I'm putting them on top of the queue!
ReplyDeleteHehe.. I'm playing comment catch up today. ; ). I really enjoy the colourfulness of Micheal Powell designs and have thought about buying them on several occassions. I think they're so bright and cheerful and so pleasant to look at. Thanks for sharing your collection!
