stocking like Ezekiel`s.


Three ornaments designed by
Annie Beez Folk Art.
`Santa`

I finished these as suggested,and have given them away

Stitching time.

Hello my friends,
some stitching on 
`Strawberry fields forever`


Loving the little progress that I have made on this. 
Please visit with these lovely people in 
`The SAL with a difference.


Part one of `Jack Frost`s Tree Farm` done.
Ready for part two to be started.
This set I will be stitching up together for framing.


Also I`ve made a start on 
`Snow Village`
This little snow family are so cute.
Each one of these designs I will stitch separately 
as I want to put them in different places
 around my snowmen collection at Christmas.
Well happy Stitching,till next time,

Strawberry Fields and a quilt.

Hello my friends.
I stitched the fence and urn on
`Strawberry Fields Forever`
by BBD.
This is my work for 
`SAL with a Difference`
There are two new ladies this time so welcome
Susan and Anne. Please go to visit and see them.

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.

Rearranging!

Hello my friends.
I`ve been rearranging my sewing and stitching.
This is still in progress hence I have 
miss placed my pattern and threads for 
`I Belong to a Cross Stitch Nation`.


Hence no stitching to finish this. :(
It will turn up but not in time for today.
Please visit the other Stitcher`s here for
SAL with a difference.


So I stitched some more on my 
`Strawberry Fields Forever`
by Blackbird Deigns. 


This is a cushion cover in the making.


Peanut the cat thinks this way he will catch the 
Tui birds that come visiting.
Happy stitching,
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
`SAL With a Difference`. 
Happy stitching,
Clare.

sewing and stitching.

Hello my friends,
I`ve been sewing and stitching.
The last lady nearly finished.


Time to see what the other`s have been stitching for
SAL with a difference.
       
                           

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.
