Driving.

Hello my friends.

I was with out a car for awhile but now have this.

My new little red car.

These finger-less gloves (soon will be cool enough to wear)

which I hope to stitch over Easter and 

`Bridget`s Bagettes`

are birthday gift`s from my friend Katrina.

This project bag and  pattern 

`Honey Hive` by Kathy Schmitz

gift`s from my friend Kath.

I have started kitting this up and will soon be ready to start.

Well going out soon in my nifty little car to get groceries.

Happy Stitching,

Another Project Bag

Hello my friends.

A few years ago Katrina of 

http://kiwistitching.blogspot.co.nz

and I had a SAL of this lovely 

design from Little House Needleworks.

`My Needle`s Work`.

I finished the stitching,then was going to make 

`A Stand Alone`

to frame it but this did`nt happen!

So pleased with the Project bag.

I used 513 Shadow Play by Maywood Studio

 in a rose blend for the lining.

Wonder what LHN project to put in this. 

I placed a peek a boo frame round the stitched piece

to bring out some of the colour in the flowers.

Here`s a close up of her.

Yesterday hubby and our eldest daughter went up to

Pukeora Estate for a quilt show and sales tables of different 

quilt shops. 

Hubby had the camera so not many photo`s of the lovely quilts 

on display for viewers choice.

I`m sorry no photo`s of labels of who made or the pattern 

where taken.

I usually do so. 

The applique was amazing.

Loved the colours in this `Wedding Ring ` quilt.

This was the nativity story written in some squares like a story.

Tillie was watching me use my computer so hubby 

took this. I`ve only just got up!!

Well time to get on with some more stitching.

Happy Stitching,

Clare. 

Friday Stitching

Hello my friends,

Part of yesterday and last night 

 I stitched a little more progress on 

`Random Thought`s`.

I do have to re stitch the letter `P`

as it`s too far over.

I will try to sort that this week.

Love the squirrel. There`s an acorn charm to attach later.

We loved seeing them while in USA on holiday last year.

I am sorting our my Christmas SAL to try and catch 

up. Made good progress today on that.

Need to see if have some more suitable background

for a few of the blocks.

Hope later next week to progress on that.

My project bags are being used and I`m looking

at my fabric`s for more pieces to make up.

I am finding they come together quite quickly now.

Another secret project has slowed as thread 

is missing,I`m wondering where I put that!!

Hubby went out today to help cutting wood 

for a church program.

Lot`s of stitching time for me but now must

clear off the dining table ready for tea.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Project Bags

Hello my friends.

Well today`s been a productive day 

with my sewing machine.

I completed a project bag with some of my birthday 

fabric`s.

The lining is the little cat head`s show in last post.

This cat charm has been waiting for quite some time 

to be used.

The other project bag has been made to hold 

`Farmhouse Christmas`.

Heavy rain today,Hubby took me down in my car for hair appointment but was 

able to walk home between shower`s.  Heavy again.

Two days ago we had  hail that bounced on the deck and lawn.

The fruit on the tree`s seem alright only one apple showing signs.

Yesterday made plum sauce.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Stitching again

Hello my friends,

A new Mystery with `The Country Yard`.

`Whimsical Woodland`

`Bear` month 1.

Completed.

A tape measure came in with this kit of  fabric and threads.

My birthday last month my hubby gave me

Willow Tree Angel

`Wisdom`

for my collection. 

One of our daughters gave me these for gifts.

Some lovely things and of course fabric.

The cat fabric is in process of being made into 

a project bag.

These two pieces are for my 

`Farmhouse Christmas` stitching,

as a project bag.

I am looking for some trim to complete this.

Well best get on as finding I am on slow motion,

so things take longer to do.

Happy Stitching.

Clare.
