The Secret Is Out...

Please take a minute and go and check out this new blog.....Among The Gum Trees...9 great Aussie designers have joined forces...and look out, they have lots planned......don't you just love the name......

Just a little bit of progress.....

I have made a bit of progress with my 'babies' quilt....the giraffe has been appliqued, now for the flowers and then add a few more flowers...then to start on number two...it all sounds so simple...LOL....another gorgeous day here...enjoy your day and I do hope you find a little bit of time to sit and do a bit of stitching.....

Awesome Day...

Another great day today at Club Quilt ... for morning tea I did make this Carrot Walnut cake with Orange Cheese Frosting, I think I might even have another little slice of it this afterdoon........I will post a recipe of this plus the Banana Pineapple cake I made last time......... but yesterday I did finish project number four for Stitchers Angel....A Rosy Little Pincushion...designed by Tracey from Plumcute Designs...and once again another fantastic design, so thanks so much Tracey.....wow, we are having the most awesome weather....another magic day today..

Angels......

These are my three Stitchers Angel projects, hoping to start number four this weekend....I have a question is everyone sending all their goodies to their Angels in one lot or in bits and pieces...??Hope everyone gets a chance today today to do just a little bit of stitching.....

Nice and easy...

It has been a while since I have done any of these...tea towels with a little applique to jazz them up, so quick and easy and such a nice little gift....on this little one I found a nice simple design, can't go past a stripped tea towel....I used heat and bond (light) to attach the design and then appliqued, using button hole stitch...quick and easy and I think very effective......these can also be done on the sewing machine....so next time you are down town pick up a few tea towels and this is the best way of using up all those scarps of fabric we always have lying around...have a great day...

Twin girls.....

I was very inspired by Linda to make this quilt....I have friends who have just had twin girls and I thought what a perfect pattern, so this is number one, I still have a few more flowers to add and then I guess I should prep number two as well as there will be a lot of applique to do, the giraffe is about 24 inches tall.. ......so thanks Linda for the inspiration and the pattern is available here..This is a Red Rooster Pattern. I picked these spotty fabrics up from my recent trip to Nundle...Cottage On The Hill....

Another little finish

This little stitchery designed by Vikki from Sew Useful Designs...is now completed...I have made it into a little wall hanging.....so pleased to have another finish, even if it a little one it is a finish...a big thankyou to Vikki for this lovely little stitchery.....looks like we could get a little bit more rain, which will be nice. .......

Project number three....

Stitches Angel Project Number three.....this very cute journal cover has been designed by May Britt.....thanks so much May Britt is was a great project and fantastic directions, this is the first journal cover I have made and I think I can see I will be making a few more of these........I haven't been over yet to see what number four project is.....enjoy your day....

Another one bites the dust....

Stitchers Angel Project Number Two......Cinderberry Stitches - Natalie Lymer...(this lady is awesome I just love her designs).....Natalie has designed this very cute needle wallet....thanks so much for this great project Natalie.

Another totally amazing day here, the weather is just lovely...what more could one ask for in a weekend....some rain...sunshine..and stitching....Happy Fathers day to all the Dads out there...my DH was spoilt by his boys I can honestly say he has been the best Dad any kid could ever ask for........

Dilly bag finished...

We did have some lovely rain after yesterdays storms....and today is a beautiful day.....Number One Stitchers Angel project is completed....thankyou to Helen this was just a lovely project....just about finished number two and it is time to start on number three.....enjoy your day.....

A Start.....

Stitchers Angel...first project....Designed by Helen from Hugs and Kisses...lovely little Dilly Bag....this is my first bash at needle turn applique using freezer paper, I know it is a little dodgy, lots of room for improvement and it is only an oval but it is finished which is a bit of a plus...the thread I have used on this little stitchery was a variegated hand dyed thread, very nice to stitch with....I did buy this from the lovely Kerry at Cottage On The Hill...right at this moment we are in for a huge storm......lots of thunder the sky is very black...we do need the rain so much I hope it pours....have a great day everyone...

The runner is finished....yippee......

Not the best photos, to bright in the sun too dull in the shade.... but I think you can get the idea...my table runner is now completed.....Portholes...stitcheries have been designed by the very talented Allie.... so what I need to do is remove the cloth that is on my outdoor setting give the table a good clean to remove the winter grit and the table will be ready for its new runner.....

I feel good....I knew that I would now....so good....so good....."I got a finish"......yippee......

Spring has Sprung....

Today is the first day of spring....and what a lovely day it is.....it could be better it could be raining, we do need the rain ....but if we can't have rain this is good......This is a little free stitchery from Sew Useful Designs designed by Vikki....I thought I would finish if off as a small wall hanging, what do you think???...thanks so much Vikki this was lovely to stitch.... hope you all have a great day...

Portholes....

Yesterday at Club Quilt I did get together my table runner for our out outdoor setting...the bind has to be sewn down and a bit of a tidy up with the threads and it will be finished......these lovely little stitcheries are called "Portholes" and they were designed by the very talented Allie....thanks again Allie these were fun to do...
