Melody also included something special for Angus it made his day.

Thank you once again Melody for spoiling us.

Friday night with Friends

I put the binding on this little girl's quilt.

During the week I also finished off 12 Plastic bag holders.

I have also started on some Christmas in July swaps, want to get them ready early this year.

F.H.F.S

I was honored to be asked to join this group.  The first swap was EPP, I had the lovely Peg as my person to send to, so after stalking her blog, I decided to make her a Clock, design board and a little bag.

I can see more of these getting made in the future.

Long time not here

It's been a long time since I have been here, since last year we have been on holidays to Cairns, I went back to work after 6 1/2 year, had Christmas, Chinese New Year, Start of a new school year (Angus is now in grade 1) and now Easter is here.

I have done a little sewing but I have a lot of UFO's to finish.

Last weekend I attended another Stitched in Time sewing day hosted by Gail Pan and Ramona Hermann, these days are always fantastic and we get total spoiled.  It is a great day to catch up with friends from a far.

We were spoiled by these beautiful goodie bags.

Inside was all of these goodies

Of course there was some shopping done too.

Stitching Soiree

Yesterday I attended another sewing day yes 2 in 2 weeks.  This one was run by Lisa from Fig 'n' Berry and Katie from Cottage Garden Threads, and Karen Martin from Mrs Martins was there too.

On arriving we were greeted with this stunning goodie bag.

Here is what was inside.

So many beautiful patterns and kits it's going to take me while to get through this lot.

This is the project that I started on the day.

What's a day without some shopping.

It was a great day catching up with old friend and making new one's.

Stitched in Time for Christmas

On the 4th October Gail Pan and Ramona Hermann organised a great day for us at the Narre Warren East Hall.  New friendships were made, lots of yummy food was eaten, and most of us did some stitching.

Here is our goodie bag that was waiting for us on arrival.

Well I have surprised myself and have finished all the projects in 2 weeks.  Here they are.

Where have I been ???/ Angus Birthday

Just after my lost post I had a bad fall and ended up in hospital for a total of 6 days, and a trip to surgery.

Yes I was in a bad way, (photo's taken 3 days apart ) It took me a while when I got home to be able to do most things, and no sewing for a few weeks.

I received lots of well wishes, flowers and this beautiful mug rug from Anorina, thank you I love it.

Then Angus turned 6  hasn't that time gone fast, her we are having yum cha for his birthday.A friend made his cake, isn't it stunning.
