January, pattern, shopping and February prepped.

I was sure I had posted these photos back in mid January when I took off on my holiday, but perhaps I didn't. I got in and prepped January's stitchery. And I was lucky enough to have my pattern arrive before I left as well. 

With my main fabrics taken from my drawer of saving for a special project. I've decided on 2 Riley Blake designs and I'm still not sure about the little moda roll. 

Once in Melbourne the stitching and the shopping for backgrounds began, after about 7 different shops. Yes Chooky I shopped well for all these luscious backgrounds.

I then finished my January stitching. I'm thinking it will be a runner, but saving that completion for another day. I squeezed in a couple of runners as well, teaching a friend how to quilt and bind.

Just a days shopping...this was Milrose cottage in. Ballan Victoria. What an amazing place

And then there was today's, rest and recovery, I've come home from my holiday 2 days ago and spent the best part of it resting from flu like symptoms, today, I've watched 2 movies and managed to apliquick all my January prices ready for a sewing night next week. Feeling accomplished.

January ....

January, sick and tired, you've been hanging on me....... 

No not really but I do love the song ;)))

January is complete .... Bring on February !!!

5 in the end !!

About 3 hours until the first of February.... time to show you 2 more thread catchers made with the fabric I choose for the gift I made for the Initial Heart Swap !!

One is for my partner as a bonus and I give the other one as a give away on my blog !

It was fabulous to look at all the different thread catchers made this month !!

Hi, I'm Pia from Denmark.

Years back I joined this SAL for "A Gardeners Journal" and "Tis The Season".

I passed "Some Kind of Wonderful", but now I'm back to make a lot of wonderful smaller projects

So happy to be sewing with you again.

Some jelly roll strips leftover from another project came to good use.

Hi, girls!

Hi, girls! Here I am! I have a new blog and a new name: pepepatchwork (some problems with Picasa), a new invitation from Chooky for new projects and a new year! Yeah! I love changes...

I've not Red home book (I will, of course, it's so cute!), so for January project I choose Hatched and patched shoes bag...

I can't quilt because of my wounded finger (too quilting during Christmas holidays) and it hurt me so that I must do a stop for some days (I can't use thimbles on my thumb because I can't feel the needle coming...)...

So yesterday I begun my shoes-bag. I know, too similar the shoes fabrics and the background fabrics... but I love them sooooooo much! I think this marriage will be very sweet! :)

Goodbay, girls! I go to take an italian coffee with Nutella (nuts-chocolate), yuuuuum!!!!

Have a great year (I'm so happy to be with you for another year!!!!)
