Last night i joined Wendy, our lovely hostess for Friday night Sew In. I didn't do a lot.

I nearly finished the embroidery for this ornie. Just a little satin stitch to go.

Pop over here to the links to visit & see what projects were worked on last night.

Friday Night With Friends.Jan 2016

I made an early start joining in Friday Night With Friends.. I'd started this little wallhanging Wednesday but gave up in frustration of trying not to have matching colours together. I gave up & finished it with matching colours together.

Next up was some Gingie stitcheries i've had sitting finished for while. My intention was to have it done for Xmas but mojo went on a holiday.

I'd traced out the next stitchery a long while back & started stitching it before Xmas but then put it aside to do some owl stitcheries which was supposed to be my daughter's Xmas present. Well guess what ? The stitcheries were done but that's it. No wallhanging. Now it will this years birthday present. :). But i digress. I picked up the stitchery i had started, finished the embroidery, added beads & yesterday turned it into this.

3 finishes yesterday & 1 earlier this week. Off to a good start for 2016.

After i finished sewing the binding down i made a start on embroidering some little ornaments.

& the finish from earlier this week

SSCS Gift

Finally it was opening day on Christmas Day to see what was in that wonderful parcel sent to me in the SSCS swap hosted by the lovely Chookyblue.

My beautiful gift

from Martina.  I love it. The embroidery on the bird is fabulous. Behind the bird is a pocket which held the cute notepad & pen. Sorry for the crap photo. The purples look so much better in real life.

My partner to send to was Steffi. This is what i sent her for the ornament

& for the main present

Friday Night With Friends.

Sadly not a lot happened on my Friday night stitching. Or during my week for that matter, :(

All i managed last night was to finish off the leaves on the owl stitchery & start a new one.

Pop over to our lovely hostess Cheryll for links to see what everyone got up to last night.

SSCS 2015

This year i joined Chookyblue again for the Secret Santa swap. Last week my parcel too...... in ......made it in the post. It's winging it's way to it's new home as i type.

This week my parcel from Martina in Switzerland arrived. So exciting.

Thanks Martina for my gorgeous ornament & the very cute tin it came in.

Happy Stitching,

Last Week

Not a lot of crafting happened last week as the weather was just to hot. Sunday i made a tablerunner &  then i spent Tuesday quilting it.

It's quite large & i had difficulty in getting a decent photo of it. it was a Secret Santa gift at our Sunday Stitchers.

Also on Tuesday i cut out a pile of scraps ready to make pineapple table runners.

The result on Wednesday:

1 & 1/2 table runners done.

Even at night it's been too hot to stitch so little progress has been made on my owls. Most of what has been done since i last posted was done yesterday at Sunday Stitchers.

I actually managed to join in yesterday for change. :) I started early. I backed, quilted & bound a gift.

Can't show it all as it is a Secret. Hand sewed the binding down last night.

 I'd finished 3 stitcheries from my previous post during the week so i cut the felt for those & started stitching them together last night.

On a roll i cut out fabrics for a table runner but that is where it ends. I had a little visitor & by they time they left it was too hot to sew.

I'm going to sew it together today.

During the week i caught up on  my  pineapple blocks as well. Big marathon sewing day Tuesday.

I was here at lunch time.

& all the coloured rows added by about 9 pm. There is a lot of work there for 70 blocks. The plain row can be chain pieced which  makes it so much faster.

 Wednesday saw me adding the "ears" & 2 blocks together.

I started stitching my owls during the week too.

Pop over to our lovely hostess Wendy to find links to who joined in  last night.

Happy Stitching,

What i've been up to.

I didn't post last week due to illness & then being away for the weekend. I finished the dinosaurs the week before & my GS loves them.

weird little critters.

I've gotten behind on my pineapple quilt.

I should've had another coloured row added here.

 This last week i've gotten the coloured row added but i'm now 2 rows behind my SIL. I need to add them by next Wednesday so we can add the rabbit ears & start sewing blocks together.

I've been doing embroidery at night. Started with this deer

but i've  put it aside for these stitcheries which i need for  a present

During the week when i prepared these i also prepared these owl stitcheries for my daughters present.

 Crappy shot. Tried several times to get a good photo. They are iron on transfers that didn't go very dark & it's a dull wet day.

These already were ironed on, i just added the stabiliser at the back ready to start stitching.
