In the Bag

Finished this one off on Monday night....absolutely love it!  Fantastic block keeper with scissor holders (one small, one large) and needle case as well as pockets.

If you are interested the pattern is available from Joy .(along with some other very tempting ones!)

April

Here we are almost to the end of the month and not too many posts from me.

Back into it I say......

Here is what has been keeping me busy between the work thing (to support the habit)

As well as some secret stitching, that can be revealed soon

Natalie Bird Swap

The first swap for 2013 for my Friends in Stitching Group was to make something designed by Natalie Bird

Leanne sent me this oh-so-cute cushion with the most  perfect stitching on it

I chose to make the Sewing Machine Chair Pad from Natalie's With Needle and Thread book for Cathy with applique on it

Pop on over and visit Cathy because she has photographed it on her chair in her sewing room - not only does she have a very tidy sewing desk but she also has an amazing view from her window.

Friday (again)

and its time for Cheryll to be hosting Friday Night with Friends.   I am not sure what I will stitch but there is ample to choose from in the sewing room!

See you all there

Birthday Lovin...

Wendy has called upon us to share what we have made for our Birthday Love Stash in the past month.

I have decided to put my two stitch-a-long projects into the box

So first up, the tote bag from Natalie Bird's Red Home Book

Then the Some Kind of Wonderful pin cushion as I was already gifted one previously

Then this project, didn't quite make it into the box as it was destined to someone for their special birthday and has already been gifted.

Hope everyone enjoys a happy and safe Easter too.

Happy St Patricks Day

My Pop always used to say this Irish Blessing to me and it is still my favourite

I also joined up with the St Patrick's Day mini swap hosted by Cheryll and this is what I received from my partner Sue.  I was lucky enough to meet Sue whilst in Adelaide last weekend but we had no idea that we were swap buddies so it was a great surprise to come home and find the envelope from her.

 And this is what I sent off to my partner.........I was finishing off my Natalie Bird True Friends tote-bag for the stitch along when I was inspired to add this other lovely Irish blessing to the design...
