Stitching away

Finished this little stitchery for a gift. It's supposed to be a cushion but i'm just going to add borders & staple it to an artists canvas. Before i do that i'll add a row of running stitch & buttons.

Last night i started this stitchery by Fig n Berry

Not sure what's with the photo's. Either a computer issue or a camera issue. Maybe Santa will be nice & bring me a new camera for Christmas. :)

Happy Stitching,

Just a small finish

Sending this cute Aussie ornament off to a friend.

FNSI November.

 Not a thing sewn for FNSI. Seams my sewjo has gone on an early Christmas holiday without me. :(. Naughty sewjo. Sadly i haven't felt like sewing all week. All i have to show is where i am at with my EPP quilt Colonial Garden.

This row was nearly completed last weekend. It just needs the white shapes added along top above the green & coloured shapes added into the dips along the white octagons. Saturday night i added the white octagons around these

Friday Night Sew In October

Well i started my day with this kit. Spitting into a tube(not fun) to have my DNA tested to discover where my ancestors come from. Now to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the result.

Next up was some cooking

Chocolate chip cookies followed by

chocolate chip & banana muffins.

Then last night i started stitching this lovely little hanging

I ironed the transfer on about 2 days ago & it's disappearing on me. :(.

I finished these little ornaments earlier in the week. They were bought precut so they were done in a couple of hours.

My Sewing Week

I finished off my Christmas stitchery. Breathed a big sigh of relief when the last stitch went into the dreaded satin stitch.

Needs an ironing. lol. :) Then i needed to find a project to work on as i had none prepared or really fancied anything that might still need to be finished. I found this little cross stitch up

Forgot to press it before gluing it into the card. :(. That is what being exhausted does to you. The brain doesn't want to work. Next i found a Christmas kit i purchased years ago.

Finished these little cuties last night. Now to find another project to work on.

Happy Sewing,

Friday Night with Friends October

I was hoping to work on the borders for the hexie quilt but i had a trip to the orthodontist with my daughter. By the time i got home i didn't feel like sewing. I did however pick up my embroidery last night.

I finished the vine on the top right corner & started the satin stitch. I really hate satin stitch but love the look of it. There is still quite a bit of satin stitch to do.

Stitchery

Whilst i was waiting to get into the patchwork shop to buy the border fabric for the hexie quilt i started this little stitchery.

Love this cute Christmas stitchery. It's from Fig 'n' Berry Creations. The thread i'm using is Hugs 'n' Kisses by Cottage Garden Threads.

I picked up the border fabric during the week. Now to summon the enthusiasm to sew it on. :)

FNwF September

I have been working all week on the hexie quilt & i'm getting bored but i want it finished. For the sew in last night i added the last 4 or 5 hexies on row 13. I have to stop now because i need to embroider the last 5 hexies i ended up without due to me miscounting somehow.

Nearly 10 rows done. 4 left to go yippeeee. It's getting a little boring just working on this but i want it done out of the way. It, cross fingers, should be a flimsy by this time next week. :)

Happy Stitching.

FNwF September

Last night i joined in FNSI. Boy did September's sew in arrive darn fast i could hardly believe it when Cheryll's post popped up the other day. I worked on my hexagon quilt. It's slow going but it's getting there. Only 8 more rows of each to go. I managed to get row 5 finished, add the embroidered hexagons then start row 6 last night.
