Addition to our family

Hello my friends.

Yesterday our youngest daughter brought home 

our new addition to the family.

Tillie is still taking this on board!!

She`s usually laid back like this. :)

Still taking in the new member.

His name is:

Peanuts.

Elizabeth from Paisley`s Post and I  have decided to do this

Drawn Thread pattern `Random Thought`s` as a SAL 

together.  Once I found mine. :)

Hope I won`t be too far behind.

Elizabeth has started her`s as well.

This is how much I had already stitched.

I think I will stitch this as my Friday night stitching till 

we go away and return to it once home again.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Joined a SAL.

Hello my friends.

I have joined SAL for 

`A Holly Cottage Christmas`

by Michelle Ridgway.

on Chookyblues SAL blog 

hosted by Raewyn and Fiona.

The first block is 

`Christmas Stocking`.

Play time, a great advert for Tupperware toys.

Tomorrow Ezekiel is 10 months old. :)

I have been getting this years 

Loose Feathers Series.

I have started #1 but was so tempted to start # 3

when I saw this lovely cat.

I have a few ideas to use the cat in something else. :)

More progress later.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Last block

Hello my friends.

We have been busy looking after our youngest grandson.

He is now 9 months old.

When we took him home the other day I picked up 

the last block of my $25 quilt.

I also paid for finishing layout.

Next week when we take him home,

 I will go to sort my choice of fabric`s from the

fabric put aside for quilt.

Progress on `Lady`s Sampler`.

Well must get on as we have Ezekiel again this weekend

and I am sorting through my kitted up projects. :)

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Missed a day

Hello my friends,

I did sew yesterday but no time to post for day two of 

Chookyblues birthday weekend. :)

Saturday night before midnight I stared 

`Lady Sampler`.

That was after our evening out.

Plus I stocked the fire up,nice and cosy.

The Volunteer `s Fire Brigade 2017 Honours.

They were a few year`s behind so hubby received

Three silver bars to attach to his medal,

plus a framed certificate for Level 2 

Urban fire and recuse operations. 

Today this is my progress on 

`Lady`s Sampler`.

I am using suggested threads and linen 40 count.

Part of Saturday and most of Sunday during the day

I cut out and put together 

 2016  $25 quilt borders one and two. 

The third and last border I am working out joining the pattern.

Once that`s done I will attach ready for quilting. :)

Once wash is out as today is a lovely sunny winters day.

There was a frost this morning.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
