block made

Hello my friends.
This months block for $25 quilt was 
sewn on my new machine.


We picked up the quilting table top yesterday 
and put together.
Have two extra feet to come plus a few more lessons.


I keep looking for the hook to lift foot and also 
to cut threads then remember to press button for 
scissor snip in machine plus to lift foot.:)
Happy Stitching,
Clare.

New toy to play with

Hello my friends,
Made a few more project bags.
Love storing my stitching these.


My Mum left me some money,
 so I look at this as a gift from her.
I`m excited but a little sad too.
A new sewing machine that I`ve only just brought home.
It`s on the dining table till quilting unit put in place.:)
I forgot to bring the quilting table attachment home with me!
I will pick it up the next time I`m up that way,  


during this week. Once a speacial birthday for our 
youngest daughter has been, I can play with my new toy. :)


This is how Tillie sleeps when on the floor.
Looks like she`s saying her prayers before sleep.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.

SAL with a difference

Hello my friends.
I thought Avis`s SAL would be great way to finish
 a few of my stitching projects 
 and also later start something new.
So contact Avis to find out more if you are interested.
We stitch our own project which is the difference,
showing progress or finish  every third Sunday.
 Since I have only recently joined I thought to show my project
which will be :
`I belong to a cross stitch nation` 
by Heartstring Samplery.


I have changed the trousers to grey and thread to red,
but may a just that too.
So will show progress again on this 21st.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.
