Sunday sewing

Hi gals,

Wanted to share my little wall hanging I finished today. The stitchery only took an evening to stitch up. I used Cottage Garden Thread 'Waratah', it goes well with Lynette Anderson's Scandinavian Christmas fabric.
This is a free pattern from Anni Downs called 'Home for Christmas'. Raeywn prompted me into getting my 'A' into gear when I saw her finished walling hanging. The pattern & Raewyn's samples were done using applique & stitchery, whereas I stitched my design.
I had thoughts to give away, but I have hung it on the wall, oh it looks nice! But now feel greedy, maybe I can stitch another?


Another wee piece finished, is another design by Anni Down's called "Christmas Wreath' ( not a freebie). I was given the kit by a friend. This stitched up as quick as lightening!


I hope your Sunday has been productive?

a wedding

sharing a nice photo of my nieces wedding.

 The tables had china tea cups with floating candles, the saucers had small glass vases with wild flowers & roses, an old vintage suitcase  for the gifts of money as requested.
The photo below is of us four 'kids'.


Look at these cuties.............................

Thought you might enjoy this on a perfect morning (sorry farmers not sure what happened to the promised rain!!)

Thanks for your company last night those fellow 'sisters' who were able to make it. A fun evening which I for one thoroughly enjoyed.

Gail Pan's latest BOM


Here it is!!!! 6 month BOM. Patterns due in mid Jan! Hope you like it!

Thought you might like to see Gail Pan's latest BOM which she posted on facebook yesterday. Some of you might have already seen it. Isn't it stunning. I love the colours and the mix of stitchery, applique and piecing. Apparently the pattern will be available in January.

A finish (thankgoodness)


I have finished the last of the town blocks for the My Town quilt and just have the centre and corner blocks to go. I think they will be very easy after tackling this one!! A very challenging block with lots of tricky hand stitching. Good luck when you get to it Raewyn.

Have a great week my fellow Sample Sisters.
