January

 Where has this month gone? It has been so hot here and last Wednesday the temperature was over 40 degrees C. Luckily we have cooling which has made a great difference. I have enjoyed some stitching and so have a few things to share. A few of us went to Mittagong for the Berrima Patchwork retreat and had a good time. I took some pictures of the lovely shop nearby called Thread Botanica.




I was very impressed with this lovely paper pieced quilt! It is just gorgeous.
As we were leaving we saw this amazing pouch using 1/4" hexagons!!!
Before Christmas I had great fun making this small quilt with foundation pieced trees and some of Natalie Bird's cute Christmas stitcheries. I saw one similar in Amsterdam in 2024!

I have also enjoyed lots of cross stitches to make this green Santa.
I had stitched this embroidery earlier and made it up the other day. It was a kit bought in France on the same stitching holiday. I just loved the houses.

I was given this great pouch by Fiona for my Christmas gift. It is just perfect for cross stitching projects.
Lastly, the boys headed off to school last week!
