Stitching Complete

Hello my friends.

I am home for a short while, but leave again in the morning

to help my Mum now she is home from surgery for cancer

on her left wrist.

So time for a quick visit with me.

I have joined Chooky Blues SAL this year.

January is Anni Downs `Christmas Wishes`

I have completed the stitching and put the borders on as this is to be a cushion.

The colours I stitched with where:

Sampler Threads - Old Red Paint,

Cottage Garden Threads - Dandelion and High Country,

Aurifil - # 12 2260 and 

Weeks Dye Works - Blue Coat Red.

The peek a boo border shows off `High Country` thread.

Then the other borders bring it together.

When I come home I will attach the piping

and complete my cushion.

Once home I will finish my cushion and show how it came out.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Ran out of time

Hello my friends,

no posting as

I came down with a nasty stomach bug.

I ended up at the Drs for treatment before coming right.

These are so cute.

I love the red tones they have.

The first Friday of each month there is a family lunch.

I am driver for my Mum and a couple of her brothers.

Mum gave me these at Christmas as a `Thank you`.

My Mum has Cancer and she is to be operated on this coming

Thursday. 

She found out early December 2014.

Hence I ran out of time to show these.

A quick post for me today and a busy week 

coming up.

By the way I joined up for Chookyblues SAL 2015.

More on that next time.

So bye for now.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Finished at last.

Happy New Year my friends.

So pleased that you could visit

 we have not visited since last year. :)

This is December 2014 s `Smalls`  project for me:

Just Nan `Christmas Workshop`

My friend Katrina was able to get this for us when it came out in 2007.

Two of my non blog friends started this with me in 2008.

We stitched one day a month,quite steady for awhile then

the time got further apart.

They had other plans but I didn`t want to get ahead of them

 and I had other projects to do!

But last year I decided was time to finish mine.

I am so pleased that I have.

Work Shop open. 

Just love it.

The needle pages like little trees. 

A scissor charm on the thread cutter pocket

where the `Clover` thread cutter is.

The Just Nan logo charm on the pocket

 for the `Clover` needle threader. 

In the kit was this lovely waxed star with 

the cute bee hive on the pocket.  

The pin cushion tree is decorated with gold beads

and silk ribbon. I have removed that loose thread.:) 

The base was stitched as well.

As you go round there are either red or blue dressed elves.

This will go into the Christmas box to come out 

with the other decorations.

Thankyou Heather for a lovely `Smalls` show and tell

during 2014. I look forward to being part of Smalls 2015.

Thankyou for visiting.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
