I signed up for SSCS again this year....my poor secret santa will think I don't exist.
So a quick catch up.... what have I been up to?
Recently I did a workshop with the lovely Carolyn Pearce at our local Embroiderer's group.
This is what we were making...Exquisite thimble holder, tape measure case, and thread cutter cover.
Little violets stitched in a thread painting technique.
I've been away at a conference ...worked away at Inverell for a week... Then..
Last weekend I was treated out to a 'Sparkling Afternoon Tea' at Gunner's Barracks at Mosman (Sydney) by my three gorgeous girls for a belated birthday. It was fabulous! ...Magnificent harbour views yummy food and great company...(I think my little finger got tired having to hold it out!!)
A little playing with hexi's today. Liberty fabrics from the stash and 3/4" hexagons.
Its a baby quilt for a beautiful little Miss Audrey. (not sure about the dark pink border though)
And dreaming of my next project .. in repro fabric....so have been gathering..
Its a lovely wet day here today so decided to do some dressmaking too... its only been waiting a year ....or two.....
I'm rather excited about this space..... tomorrow ...My new kitchen goes in!!
YAY!!!
Anyone near Cassillis this Friday is welcome to join a few bloggers for a stitching lunch at 'Plough Inn to Cassillis' Cafe..... It would be great to see you there!

Maybe we should be testing out your new kitchen! How exciting. The embroidery looks challenging, but a very pretty result. Your new project and the dressmaking both look lovely. See you Friday.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun class. Good luck tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of posts with the same title also. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery looks exquiste. (I hope I spelt that right. There's no spell check in these comment boxes.) Far beyond my skill level though, but that doesn't stop me from admiring it.
What a fun day out playing ladies!
Good luck with the installation.
