Home again

Hello my friends please come for a visit with me.

This month has nearly gone.

I`ve been working on some secret stitching which is nearly there.

I`ve completed my SAL for April a TTS wall hanging and blogged on that.

Also I had a flight to Christchurch for a weeks visit with my sister 

who lives an hours drive from there.

Last time I was down there it was so different as we came home only a few days 

before the first Earthquake.

What a change and so eerie in places with no traffic and damaged buildings

or they have been removed. 

This was as near as I could get to the Cathedral 

from the street we were on.

A building in progress of being repaired.

A container cafe and below one of the shops.

A mini car stuck to the side of a building.

Where the buildings  have been demolished there are 

designs painted so it doesn`t look so bare.

This one of `Noah`s Ark`

Over the weekend my sister and I went to 

Anni Downs two day workshop.

Anni and I together. Thankyou  Anni and Racheal of

 `Annies Country Quit Store`. I really enjoyed my self

and learnt a few new techniques  which will not only help with

 projects Anni gave me but also some others I`ve

been working on. 

 I`m showing you only part of one of the projects Anni 

had for us to do.

Here is part of my progress.

Paper pieced hexagons and wool applique.

This post has become quite long so will show some 

of my shopping and further progress in another post.
Thankyou for visiting and hope you will join me again next time.

Happy stitching,

Clare.
