Show and tell

It was great to catch up with my lovely class girls again on Wednesday. They had some beautiful show and tell to share. This is a bit of a picture heavy post but worth it! At social stitching in the morning, Penny had her little bear from the stitching day to show me! He looks great!

 In the afternoon, Jill had a lovely quilt she is working on to show us.

 Bronwyn had been busy too and has finished her hexagon decoration from the stitching day.

 In the evening, Margaret was the "high achiever". She has been so busy and has finished the lovely bag from  'Some Kind of Wonderful'.

 She has also quilted her Garden quilt by Lynette Anderson. Oh dear, mine is still waiting to be quilted. I just love the fabrics she has used.

 Margaret also brought in this quilt that her son bought her in Canada. What a special gift.

 Danni has been finishing things too and had her stitched canvas work picture all finished and framed. Looks good, Danni.

Tomorrow is our second Stitching on the Lake day and Fiona and I are looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing another great day of stitching together. If you want to see the projects check the post on October 7 called Stitching on the Lake.

More Lovely Stitching

Sue brought in her beautiful Bareroots bag to show us. Her stitching is lovely and the colours work really well. It is such a useful bag.

Judy finished all her Bareroots little stockings and they are so cute! I must try and put the ones I have stitched together too. They will be great gifts.

Judy also made this cute little bear. I think she found the pattern on the internet. She's very cuddly as she is made in flannel.

Block of the Month Progress and a gift

Hurray! I have finally completed the last block in the Your Home or Mine BOM. It has been an enjoyable process but 12 of these blocks and 12 sets of triangles is a lot of work. I foundation pieced the triangles instead of english paper piecing which did make it easier.

I made the patchwork blocks each month as well and have completed 13 of these. Yesterday I trimmed the house blocks to size so am ready to put it together.

Last Wednesday, Maxine, from the afternoon class, gave us each a little bear. He is so gorgeous and little as you can see when you compare him to a cup! We were all thrilled as he is so special.

Stitching Day projects

Fiona and I thought we would show you our projects for Stitching on the Lake which is on next Saturday 2 May. We are also running a day in Queanbeyan on the Sunday with the same projects. We are really looking forward to the weekend and to sharing a great couple of days of stitching, good food, friendship and lots of chat and laughter. Fiona will be posting the other projects on her blog, Peaceful Threads. 
This is little Lucy Bear. She is only 15cms (6") tall.

These two bags can have their pockets either stitched or partly decorated using a punchneedle.

This is the Little Village Hanging and it has another green border and binding to finish it off. I took the picture at this stage to show the detail of the little houses. They are only about 5 cms (2") or so tall.
