Tipsy Tree

Hello my friends it`s time for:

For September I have stitched 

`Tipsy Tree` by Charland Designs,Inc.

This pattern is in 2007

`Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments` magazine.

I had this ear marked to do so thought this was the time.

A close up of stitching.

The star from my button jar with `Mill Hill` beads.

Some of my fabric from my Christmas stash

for the back.

Look what `Miss Tilly` is doing!

  

Max checking on what`s happening.

That didn`t stop her, dog tail must be taste good.

While Max is away the girls have taken over for the day.

If they laid an egg I do not know but Max could have had a snack

when returning.

Hope you enjoyed your visit.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Waiting for Sunshine

Hello my friends.

I am well over due for you to come  visiting,

I have been waiting for sunshine to take photos.

Now the weekend is looming the forecast is for rain again!

Our beautiful Tui`s are visiting us again.

There is a family of five.

This one is in the peach tree with the spring blossoms coming into flower.

I think this one is in the apricot tree.

They where singing their lovely song.

Last month I didn`t show my completed `Clock`

block  5 from `Relics from Yesteryear`.

The mystery quilt from `The Country Yard`.

My photo will not turn the right way! :(

I am happy with the finished block though.

 

This months block 6 is `Mannequin`. 

I used to use one of these when I did dress making.

This went on the back burner once I started patchwork.

Four hexagon pieced flowers was an extra this time.

Then I was able to get the last place in this 

`Quilters Theme` mystery Stitchery from 

`The Country Yard`

A lovely little needle book open on the box.

Below showing the threads:

Cottage Garden Thread # 1206 Lyrebird,

Aurifil # 2372.

Background fabric, front of needle book and month 1 pattern.

A lovely box to store everything in.

First triangle block stitched.

Second  triangle block.

I wonder what will come next month.

Hubby is seeing again in his left eye.

A little more recovery time,

then back for a final checkup

and then can return to work. 

I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Till next time.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
