Getting closer to finished

A few items closer to being finished. Just a little tired today just one of those days for chillin, a walk in the sun was on the agenda before after school activities, however here are some more dresdens and a bit more of the quilt together.  A better photo of Xmas gift what will this be.?

Stitching on labour day, sunshine and smiles

It's Monday and a long weekend, stitching at my eldest dd while visiting, while she delves into planning for school.......  A bit of shopping........ A lovely lunch........... Lazily drinking coffee........... And a bit of stitching to finish off the fabulous weekend with family.............

I hope you all have had the greatest weekend also....... We have had rain, snow now sunshine this weekend who would believe that weather!  Just us from the far south of NZ.  

This is my stitching today...  A gift?  Maybe....

Thanks for visiting. Happy stitching until next time

Dresden cuties

What a fabulous day stitching, a group of ladies took my Dresden techniques class and made a cushion, not quite finished but all coming along nicely, hope you all loved the day and learnt a new technique with tips galore....

Dresden Plate Class

Dresdens galore

 I have been busy getting a class sample ready.  This is my progress.

Don,t you just love dresdens, they are a tried and true pattern from the past, you can use dresdens for lots of projects just watch this space....

Stitching Blues

Do you ever have those days when all you want to do is stitch and achieve at least something creative in the day!!  Well I don't seem to be getting anywhere fast with my Love Entwined,  so far this is where I have got to.....

But I am stitching some UFO's and I think I will be old before I get anywhere near completing my UFO pile.  My new years resolution, no more purchasing until those major applique projects are complete!!  Haha do you think this will happen......  Well I hope so....


This arrived in the mail the other day..............

 The Layer Cake is Virginia for Williamsburg..............  I just had to have this as I have been to Williamsburg, Virginia and it is the most amazing place like stepping back in time it is where I attended Elly  Sienkievich Applique Academy, an amazing learning place to stitch with like minded applique ladies.

Until next post,  lets hope lots of stitching to show...

Holiday is over, where did it go???

September was such a busy month.....  A holiday to the sun and some much needed family time,  a little time away to visit the wearable arts awards,...................that is ticked off the bucket list...............If you ever get a chance to go  DO IT, it was an amazing show and was not just the entries parading on stage it was a full blown choreographed show  JUST AMAZING.

This was the overall supreme winner.............. the feathers were ceramic and the coins were also ceramic,  lots of work!!

Away to the holiday house to check up and setup for a family to come in and stay,  and here I am  ready to sttich but alas the cleaning beckoned yesterday, it is amazing how productive you can be when the sun is out...

But I did stitch Wednesday Class group and Thursday  embroidery group,

Here is what I worked on.....

Anni Downs - Bag

Kim McLean - FLOWER GADEN

Until next time happy stitching
