Personal Delivery

Hello my friends,

On the 21st July was my 

`Travel Pattern` posting.

Kath left a comment to be the next Stitcher

of the `Travel Pattern` 

Since Kath did not live that far from me 

I made it `Personal Delivery`.

We get together when we can to stitch together.

Sometimes there are other friends as well.

Passing of pattern.

Hubby took the photo!

Ran a bath for me the other day and before

even turning the taps off 

Miss Tillie climbed in to check it out and have a drink.

Once she climbed out I pulled the plug,

re run another.

Well I will show stitching progress next time.

Thank you for visiting.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Keeping up

Hello my friends,

I am so pleased that with the way my health has been lately

I am keeping up with SAL.

Some of my other projects are behind but hope to sort that soon.

I cut these background pieces and put together

before my shoulder operation,

ready to put applique on.

I took some time looking through my fabric for this 

and added another for basket.

Then I fussy cut from some others.

I am quite pleased how this came together.

A close up of a few:

The butterfly using same wing fabric as before.

Lady bird in different fabric.

A dragon-fly showing off her colours.

The birds remind me of Fantails that fly around here.

The centre complete with peek a boo frame.

I am looking at fabrics for next border.

Thank you for visiting.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Hello my friends.

I have been unwell with Bronchitis,

another visit to Dr and Xray  to see

that it was slowly going.

More medication!

Now I was the 45th to stitch this pattern.

If you would like to be the next

(as it is ready to post)

please leave me a comment to say so with a way to contact you. 

I will pick a name and contact that person for postal address

and then send along.

I enjoyed making mine into a `stand alone`.

I used 40ct linen from out of my cupboard.

The label has gone for this.

I used  Sampler Threads:

`Desert Mesquite` for the vine rather than `Pine`,

`Vintage Lace` for flowers as `Harvest Basket` didn`t show on linen. 

The wording is `Clay Pot` instead of `Grape Arbor`.

The Ric -Rac is herringbone stitched in place. 

This months letter for Bunting is 

`I`

and a little cute reindeer.  

Kissing Teddies this time.

Miss Tillie with her feet up fast asleep.

My sewing machine has been away for a few days as I missed a pin!!!

She went well out of aliment.

I`m packing her up to go here. Hubby dropped her off on his way to work.

Now she`s home I hope to feel well enough to work with her.

Well this will do me today but hope to post again near the end of the week.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
