A week behind.

Hello my friends.
The `SAL of a difference` 
I missed last week,
but have been stitching on this project,
just forgot to blog!
A few more flowers stitched.
For some reason I can`t get the links added of others stitching along.


The passion fruit vine is still flowering as well as fruit ripening.
They look amazing.


A few stitches on my `Noel`,when it`s not so hot.


This ornament is number one,
designed by Annie Beez Folk Art,
from `Crazy Annie`s Stitching`
2019 Country Christmas Ornament Club.
Maybe this is my next start!
But at least it`s a small one to complete. :)


 I have been stitching on my `Noel` We have finished the wallpapering and at last my 
framed stitching is hanging up.
I have been rearranging things and still have a little more to finish.
Then maybe some photo`s of this.
Well must get tea on and if temp stays some stitching.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.

Sewing with others.

Hello my friends.
First I would like to welcome my new followers.
This is lovely. I also joined Instagram

Busy time`s.
I am sewing Lori Holt of

`BLOOM`
Lori had this as SAL in 2016.
Cheryll   https://stitchingcubbyhole.blogspot.com/
Has started one for a few of us.
I brought the template set and using from my stash.
Block 1


Still to applique on but as yet while putting things away
in new sewing unit my bag with needle turn threads 
has not appeared. In due course it will.
This is safe on Lori`s board that I made.


After setting up machines I finished last month`s
Delbrook block.
My other sewing is in one of the draws that I have set aside
 for my projects on the machine to do.
So watch this space.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.

Quilting Table.

Hello my friends.
My Hubby built this quilting unit for me.
This side my Bernina is set up.
The cutting board is on top of quilting table for good cutting height.   


The other side has the new Pfaff  ready for use only needs plugging in. 


This side show the overlocker on it`s shelf.
Plus the draw space.
Still some things to put away in them.


Well a little more furniture to arrange and I hope to sew tomorrow.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Happy New Year my friends.
We had a very quiet New Years Eve,
and today is the same.
Hubby has gone to the river to fish.
I have been moving things around now wallpapering done.
So pleased that`s done!
Thursday we will be going to get the top for my quilting Unit.
Plus the handles for the draws,then things in the end bedroom 
can be stored in these.
Any machine sewing has been on hold,so in a bag waiting.
Hope to be sewing again by the weekend.
It will be nice to have that as a bedroom again!


This lovely BBD `Merrily Merrily we welcome Spring`
 is my New Years day start.
This is being stitched with recommended fabric and threads. 
I am stitching along quite nicely with this 
but have the fan going as it`s so hot.


My progress so far.

I like to start a new piece on Christmas Day if time allows.
This was started Christmas Day after tea.
