Time to catch up!!!!!
Well it has been quite a while since I last posted on this blog, to say the least. There have been busy times here and unfortunately I have put my blogging on hold in order to be able to keep up with all the goings on. So I will post a few pictures of what has been happening over the last little (ha ha!) while.
Firstly our little boy is no longer so small. He has grown into a rather handsome young teenager with lots of energy to boot.
We have added 2 new girls to our brood also. They are Silvermist (a 1st prizewinner at the Royal Melbourne Show) & Cindy, both of which have settled in well and are producing some lovely little eggs.
Here are a few pictures of projects that you may have seen glimpses of or in other versions.
Stitched with Love
Lavender Ladies - Fragrant Sachets
Little Sewing Maidens
A new pattern made with Lynette Anderson’s Scandinavian Christmas range of fabrics is “Let it Snow” it is a tablerunner & placemat set. Very easy to make, just in time for Christmas. Of course it could also be made in traditional Christmas colours.
I just spent a lovely 4 days at the Melbourne Craft & Sewing Show at Caulfield as guest designer on Blue Willow Cottage’s stand. It was lovely to meet lots of ladies from far & wide who had come to the show (even from the US & New Zealand). I taught a class involving my latest pattern release called “Christmas Maidens 1 & 2″. All the ladies were quite pleased with learning some new skills and these little decorations were quick and easy to make. Just in time to decorate everyone’s tree.
Christmas Maidens 1
Each pattern comes with 4 small matryoshka applique pieces to make into the dcorations/charms and there is even a stitched version of matryoshka to use in place of the fabric when you run out. They would even make nice tags to place on your Christmas presents.
Christmas Maidens 2
Meanwhile there have been a few projects in the works that are keeping me rather busy that will be released next year, as well as some magazine projects and a few presents in between. Will pop back on another post to show a couple of the presents.
It is Melbourne Cup Day here in Melbourne so if you have a flutter I hope you have an enjoyable day. I’m going to be stitching under a blanket with a nice warm cuppa to soothe my current cold that has decided to inhabit my world.
