Progress

 Best catch up on my stitching projects. A few weeks ago I completed Part 5 of the Owl and Hare Hollow BOM.

I was also working on this liberty scarf for my daughter for her birthday.

I am still enjoying all the paper piecing for Amanda's stitchalong on Instagram.

Lovely to see Brenda's show and tell last Thursday. This bag looks amazing It is a pattern by Wendy Williams.

Brenda has also finished this lovely needlecase!

Lovely projects

 It is ways so inspiring to see what the Wednesday ladies are stitching. Jayne has finished her amazing needlecase using the delightful stitcheries she has been working on. It is such a useful needlecase.

Rini has bound her gorgeous hand pieced quilt. It looks so beautiful. We lovely the colours used.

Roni has also been making these great easter eggs using a pattern by Anni Downs. The cake behind was made by Paddy and was delicious. We had an early celebration for Beth's special birthday.

We gave Beth her gift. We gave her a gift voucher for her favourite shop, Makerie, and some beautiful candles. I made this purse for Beth to keep her gift voucher or treasures in.

The other three projects at Stitching on the Lake

Here are the other three lovely projects that we are doing at Stitching on the lake on Saturday (and in a few weeks too). Fiona has designed this gorgeous needlecase and pin cushion. Check out her blog for the threads you need if you want to stitch this in similar colours. 

The next project is some hardanger embroidery on lovely green linen. The linen and the threads are included in your kit.

We know many of you love canvas work so here is a lovely glasses case to create. You can of course make this in any combination of colours but the ones Fiona has used are found on her blog. 

See you on Saturday or in a few weeks for our second day.

two small finishes and baby sitting

I managed to do a little stitching and to finish off two small projects. The first is Christmas Wishes, which is a free design from Anni Downs' blog and it is the January project for the Stitch-a-long this year. I decided to make it into a little hanging with rusty bells.

 I have also put together this little needlecase, which is another of Anni's patterns. I had completed the stitchery ages ago so it was nice to get this UFO completed.

 We have been busy here as these little men came on Saturday for a sleepover while their Mummy celebrated her birthday. They were a delight but it was busy!

Lovely show and tell

Just a few days till our Stitching on the lake day. I've printed my list today and hope to get the bits and pieces (like irons and light boxes) organised today. Just a little reminder that if you are coming it would be a help if you brought your coffee mug with you. You might even have a lovely Christmas one to bring.
The pictures of our projects are on the previous post.
Last week at class there was so much gorgeous show and tell. It is so motivating to see everyone's lovely work. Roni had finished this lovely punch needle design by Marg Low and has framed it beautifully.

 She has also finished her reindeers. So much stitching!

 Beth had her finished needlecase in use!

 Narelle has finished hers too.

 Beth is now hooked on hexies! She is planning to make the lovely quilt in one of the earlier issues of Vignette.

 In the evening, Barbara has been very busy making some lovely Christmas gifts.

 This hand towel and the teatowel above is decorated with some gorgeous pieces of Anni Down's fabric.

Margaret has been busy too making these great Christmas mats. They look really good.

Wednesday show and tell

The Wednesday ladies have been very busy and it is always inspiring to see what they have worked on each week. Jayne finished her needlebook during the week and has added some beautiful extra stitching inside and outside!

 Narelle has been busy at home and has finished this great bunting which is a pattern by Marg Low and this lovely redwork too.

 Sue has been very busy stitching and showed us this lovely necklace that she made at Urban stitching recently. It is a Melly and me pattern.

 She has also made these wonderful bibs from a panel that we have at Hobbysew. How cute will her little grandie look in these!

 Here is Sue with another of her Melly and Me giraffes! They are so special. I think she must have made a dozen of these!
