Great show and tell and a finish

It was very inspiring at class yesterday as there was so much wonderful show and tell. Roni has been so busy and has quilted her Splendid Sampler using the quilt as you go technique. It looks very good. I wish she would do mine!!!!

 Roni has also finished her amazing boro bag.

 Jayne has done a beautiful job on her boat for the Seaside town Button club.

 Janelle is new to afternoon class and she shared this wonderful hexagon quilt in Tilda fabrics. It was too big to get a picture of all of it.

 Lynne has been busy too and has made these lovely bookmarks and this beautiful pencil case.

I went to see my very clever quilter, Robyn, last week and picked up my 3 quilts. I am still working on the others but am very excited to share a "finish"! Anderson's farm is all quilted, bound and even has a label! Just check out the beautiful closeups of the quilting.

Show and tell

As always, it was great to catch up with the stitching, lunch and class girls last Wednesday. They have been busy! Janet has three littlies and her eldest is at school this year so her dolly had to have a winter uniform. The shirt even has cuffs and the dress has pleats too.

 Barbara has just finished this gorgeous picture that she bought as a kit in Japan. I love the liberty cups!

 Lynne has been busy doing this amazing weaving!! Looks so good.

 Paddy has finished her Anderson's Farm and it looks so beautiful.

 In the evening, Margaret brought along her beautiful Foxley Village which has been quilted. It looks great.

 I love what Margaret did with the backing too.

 I have been stitching too and managed to complete Part 4 of Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. I am working on Part 5 now as the next part will be here next week. Going on holidays certainly puts you behind in your projects!

A little stitching...

We were pretty busy on holidays but I did manage to do a little stitching. I took far more but that was just in case! I managed to stitch one United Stitches block.

 I had drawn up these two stitcheries for labels for Anderson's Farm and The Story of my Day.

 It is lovely to do a bit of canvas work on the plane so stitched this little red house.

 My last project was to start this scarf in lovely wool I bought last year at the wool day at the Bus Depot Markets. It is only 2 ply wool so the scarf is taking a while to crochet but it is fun. Might just be tempted this weekend as the wool day is on again.

 I didn't do much shopping. I only bought a few bits for the children and a bit of clothing. I did get these balls of wool and a few bobbins from the Stott bobbin factory.

 It was my birthday while away and Penny gave me this gorgeous bag with some lovely wool pieces and some embroidery needles. So special.

 When I returned, Lyndal gave me this gorgeous kit for a Rosalie Quinlan necklace. Can't wait to start!

 Lyndal also made me this lovely crochet bag (to put my wool in of course) and this beautiful ball of wool. Very spoilt!

 It was lovely to go to stitching again on Wednesday and Roni had finished this gorgeous cushion!

Catching up

It was great to catch up with my lovely class girls again last Wednesday after the long Christmas break. Many of them had been busy stitching. I managed to capture just a few finishes with the camera. Lynda has been especially busy and has made a wonderful baby quilt using the runner blocks (from the retreat) and adding lots of others. Looks so lovely with all the Tilda fabrics.

 Jayne has also been stitching and has finished these gorgeous bags!

 I have done a little catching up with my Splendid Sampler blocks. Only a few more to go and then that adventure will be finished.....other than piecing the quilt etc!

 Over the last few weeks I have been working on my Anderson's Farm and have a top!!! So exciting to see it at this stage!

 I should be doing UFOs but couldn't resist this BOM! Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs was too tempting. Here is block one and the second block is below. This is my kind of stitching. It is all hand work!

 I also ordered my blog books for 2016. Such fun looking over the year's stitching, family times and holidays in these books.
