2016 nearing it`s end

Hello my friends,

this year has gone quite quickly.

We have had a busy month with little family staying

at weekends and now the Christmas to New Year for 10 days.

The last few days I came down with a tummy bug.

Not nice:(

Thank you Chookyblue for having SSCS 2016.

I sent my gifts to Tracy:

This table topper ,a cute Xmas cushion and of course 

a ornament of a snowman with a Koala bear .

My gift sent to me was this table runner with silver border and binding

from Lisa. 

Some of my other gifts where:

This sewing machine pad, herbal tea and Santa ornament

from my friend Kath.

I do like Log Cabin pattern.

I hope to make next year a curved Log Cabin quilt.

A close up of Santa ornament on my tree.

One of my sisters swap gifts with me. This year we decided on

an ornament:

I really love mine. :)

And a kitted project to work on.

The fabric was part of the wrapping but to be used as borders.

Cottage Garden Threads :Mistletoe,

Rosalie Quinlan pre-printed linen/pattern with 

backing for stitching. :)

This is on my to do list.

Katrina gave me a lovely Angels ornament no photo yet.

Plus these : Lizzie Kate `Joy to the World` pattern with

fabric and little button,stitched cushion, stitched bird ornament

and a lovely zipped bag.  

One of my no blogger friends asked me to quilt this lovely

wall hanging for her . She was pleased with the finished piece.

Before I got sick I stitched this,

hope to make up as a star once little family goes home on the 2nd.

Have a good evening my friends.

With a baby in the house we will be heading to bed before 

midnight. :)

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

A Surprise

Hello my friends.

I  won the draw at Delbrook.

Christine had taken a group of ladies to USA.

This was like I had joined them :)

These are all the goodies in the bag.

Three patterns,

pincushion,magnet and buttons.

`Orphan Train of Memories` charm pack.

French General Embroidery Sampler, ruler

and Precision cut Jordan Fabrics 12 block 

Log Cabin Quilt. Ready to sew. Finished size 29"x 39".

Feel so blessed. 

I went in to look around and found this.

So love Blackbird Designs fabrics and stitching patterns.

Not sure what this will make as yet with this fat 1/4 bundle. :)

Sewing time in the New Year after little family goes home.

When I went to the counter was when Christine handed me the bag and explained.

Tillie in a hunting mood on top of tree hut roof. No way is she going to get these little birds

while in the nest.

Thank you for visiting.

Happy Stitching,
