A gift for a friend

Hello my friends.
Welcome to my part of the world. 
Stay for a little visit as I show what I made as a gift for my friend Gail (no blog) for her birthday  December 2012.


I stitched a `Dutch pin keep` by ``GPA`` a pattern from Italy that I brought recently.
I also made her the lovely block roll. I like to make these for my friends plus need to make a few more for myself.

And then progress.
Hubby finished his canoe that he designed and then made up.
With his fishing licence he went down to the river to use his new canoe.


He caught this trout. This was part of our meal that night.
 I have some more sewing to finish as well as some stitching to do so will show that in my next posting.
 We are having some really hot days here that without the fan going I feel I`m about to melt.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.
