Spring day

It`s a lovely spring day here. The birds are singing. The gift for Raewyn is what I`ve been stitching of late.She recieved  her parcel yesterday  so go for a visit. http://stitchingfarmgirl.blogspot.com/ .
This is one of my favourite tote bags. A friend gave me the fabric strips as a birthday gift so using  `Bareroots` pattern ,some DMC threads,those fabrics and homespun for stitching I `ve this lovely tote.




These where some of last years Christmas gifts for three friends.  I stitched them from `JXS  Christmas ornaments issues. Thinking which ones to stitch for this year !




This the first Sampler I stitched . It comes from a set of two but I haven`t been able to get the other. 
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend so till next posting I will get back to my stitching.
Happy Stitching Clare.

    Oh Clare....I love your beautiful quilt bag. The design is so sweet and the colours are among my favorite too! Your 2010 Christmas ornaments so cute. It will be fun to see what you decide to stitch this year!
    Your sampler is lovely, and the scripture verse is one that I dearly cherish too.

    Love the quilt shop tote bag which I have made twice now. It's a great pattern.
    Your Christmas pillows are lovely and how nice to be able to look back at the first sampler you ever stitched.

    You're working on such pretty things! I think I have that bag pattern, or one very similar to it. You've inspired me to go looking.
