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.

hosted by Raewyn and Fiona.
The first block is 
`Christmas Stocking`.

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

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

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.
