Annie Beez Folk Art.

This is my $25 quilt by Delbrook ready now for 

quilting. It was fun getting the layers together

as my sewing/quilting unit takes up the space I usually 

use.

I am also stitching 

`Jack Frost Tree Farm` 

as a whole piece to be framed once finished.

I now have all the designs,only to find time to stitch on this one.

Well these last few weeks I`ve had my hubby have a 

Trans Global Amnesia attack lasting thankfully only

an hour and a half. He`s had a scan through the acute

assessment ward and everything`s fine now.

He`s had two weeks without driving and stand-down from 

being a fireman. He`s a volunteer for this but involved 

in keeping the station going which he enjoys. 

Things are back to normal, he`s even helped at Youth Camp this weekend.

Time to go,so happy stitching till next time,

Clare.

A stitching lady

Hello my friends,

I have had our youngest daughter and children staying with their pets

while they where between homes.

Yesterday was moving day.

There is still a few things left by my sewing area,

so no sewing for a few days.

 By Tuesday I should be able to get to my machines. 

Another lady finished on

`I belong to a cross Stitch Nation`.

I am so close to finishing and I will frame this one.

Please visit with the rest of the group

I made this project bag by following Kimberly of

The Fat 1/4 Shop`s tutorial.

Mine is a little smaller but fits my project

and so I`m happy using it.

The back showing off the cat shelves.

My little quilt from Kim Diehl`s mystery on Instagram.

I have this ready to quilt.

This was a surprise in the mail from a friend in USA. 

When we were over there we went to a State Fair 

in Ohio,so this will be fun to stitch and remembering 

the memories.

So I hope you find time to stitch this coming week.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
