LITTLE BITS OF THIS AND THAT

We are in the downward spiral into Flyboy and Our Beautiful Girl's wedding, 2 weeks and 6 days to be exact, bucks day was held yesterday, hen's night was last week, shower tea this coming Saturday, then the wait for the wonderful day.  Thought for awhile I was going to be wearing my jeans and joggers, but thankfully just before Christmas I walked into a shop and there it was just for me.  So yesterday it was at the alteration place so the suit could be altered for the Mr. and the outfit shortened for me.  We both have ducks decease, you know butts to close to the ground.

I have also been sewing with some more finishes

I got this pattern from Facebook, Quiltville  its a freebie that you might like, its huge, will be great on my table next to my arm chair for ease

My drawstring bag that matches my pouch from last week, thank heavens the fabric arrived so I could finish it.

I have finished the front of my Cinderberries Needle Keep, the inside is sitting under the sewing machine foot, I'm quilting it at the moment

My little pin cushion to match the Needle Keep also a Cinderberries pattern and so very cute.

Last but not least, my dresdens from last week's class with Michelle Marvig, I have to applique it onto the background, hopefully I will get to do this next weekend seeing we have a 3 day one.

Tomorrow you will need to head across to Peg's its OPAM sign up.  Are you going to join in the fun this year?  I know I will, it motivates me to finish my projects.

Well that's enough from me

Happy stitching

Pictures

As promised pictures of what I've been making, found my connection, put away where it was supposed to be, just didn't see it yesterday when I looked (lol....i'm blind so whats new lol)

 

I made this charm square scarf, we are heading off to New Zealand on a cruise in a few weeks, and it will be cold down the south of the South Island, saw this on Trish's blogg its her first Moda Bake Shop tutorial, really easy to make, backed with flannel, so it should keep me warm :)

This is going to be a cushion for my sewing room chair back its from one of Natalie Bird's books, With Needles and Pins, a great book.

A little stitchery from the same book that will be for my sewing room.  This is also a block of the quilt that is in the book which I'm thinking of making next year.

These two are projects from the Stitching Post Retreat in Katoomba, these are a project from Lisa Cantlay from Fig'n' Berry Creations, all I have to do is put the casing on the bag (above) and the stitcheries are a needle case and the big one is for a pin cushion, now if I can only get my act together and get them finished before Christmas, but its not looking good lol.

Secret Stitching for Chooky's Christmas Swap winging its way somewhere in the world. :)

I didn't stay to the end of the Opera House (see previous post)  the other night, found out yesterday one of the lovelies from Leesa's Club got 3rd place in her age group in her first time at National Finals, well done Lauren :)

Well that's enough from me

Happy stitching
