Birthday Gift

Thank you Ladies for my beautiful birthday quilt. I love everything about it, the lovely little Gollies, the colours and the quilting. Most of all I love the fact that you all spent time making it for me.

Thanks heaps
Di.

KERRY'S SURPRISE

Raewyn and I were able to share in Kerry's excitement when she opened her beautiful gift from Aurely!!

WE ARE BACK!!

Just celebrated our Christmas night (yes I know it is a little late, but this is when we choose to celebrate together).
Great company, yummy food and beautiful handmade goods.
Missed our lovely friend on the other side of the world, but she was very much here in our thoughts!!

 

 

Meet Archer Maurice

Here is a photo as promised. Archer was one day old when this photo was taken. We had a 'chat' with him on Skype this morning. According to the parents he is a very 'laid back' baby and so far all is going well.

Thanks for your message Aurely. We are all thinking of you and know you have an exciting time ahead.

The next 2 photos are for you Kerry. I know you will enjoy them

 

Apparently Lewis is very protective on the new arrival in his home!

A Finish

This was a monthly secret block challenge done through the Country Yard some years ago!!!
Thanks Kerryn. Also many thanks to Leeanne for tacking it up on her long arm, would highly recommend this, no removing pins made it easier to stitch in the ditch and do the other quilting.
Hope no one has too much damage from the storm!

Coming Together

It is amazing what can be achieved with even a couple of hours 'free time' for sewing. I didn't make the deadline for my 2014 Sample Sisters challenge but Breast of Friends is coming together at last!

"Huckleberry"

Hi ladies introducing Huckleberry, he was fun to make, have to admit had to put my thinking cap on to sew clothes again!! Hope your week is going OK xxxx

Another one for the pile...

Yaay! Completed Jacki's block this afternoon!

Hope you've all had a good weekend :-)

See you next time!

Raewyn

Thanks my fellow Sisters for a really nice evening last night. I love my new bag, thanks Leanne.
Time spent with special friends is time well spent.

Another one for Jacki

Helping Out

This one is for Jacki.....

Another project completed

It took a while and was a little tricky at times. I don't think I will be making another sewing basket in a hurry. I look forward to seeing your completed Di!

Will catch up with you all on Wednesday evening. It will be great to be back together after such a long break. It will be Christmas all over again, this time with special friends.

Over one year to get to the finished product!

my Sample Sister Christmas present swap all ready to hand over to my 'Sister'. The bag gives NOTHING away!! Hehehe.........................see you soon.
How are your gifts going??

From Our Family to Yours.

A Happy New Year to all my fellow Sample Sisters. May 2015 be kind to you all and bring everything you wish for.

Have you made a new year's resolution? Mine is to TRY and finish all my UFO's before I start anything new. I haven't counted how many that may be, but bet you are all having a giggle at my expense. How long will it be before my resolution gets broken? Maybe March 7th will be my downfall!!

I feel a Sew Along Sisters!

Cushions

A couple of cushions for outdoors....when its not raining of course :-)

Sunday Santa part 2

Hi ya Sisters, here he is all finished!

I'm very happy with this handsome fellow. The end steps were a bit fiddly but worth it. Does this make up for my lack of other Christmasy makes??

I bought a part kit (face, hands, beard and pattern) from Auckland Festival of Quilts. The designer is Cameron-James Designs the Santa is called "Winterberry Santa". His beard is pure Tibetan Lambswool, it is SO soft!. By the way he is made over a wine bottle that is filled with kitty litter or similar to weight the bottle.

enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Have a great week my fellow Sisters.

After Leeanne's kind words I just wanted to share this with you all.

Without you all, your support, help, love and care ... I AM NOTHING!!
