June & July Done

June's Stitch-A-Long  was delayed due to my order of Crushed Walnuts, and I am so glad I waited... I love the filling and how my pincushion now feels. 

July's Project is complete only a couple of days late - but I am so happy with it. 

Visit my blog to see more details.

I have already made 2 of this months project, but I have been juggling fabrics today to try and make a non patched version perhaps with a stitchery - still pondering, I won't ponder all month I promise - tomorrows Mad Quilters Gathering might inspire me.

July - on the cutting table

JUNE Pincushion - Late Note Please

Hi Girls and Chooky, can I please have a late note as my filling for my pin cushion won't be arriving - there is a delay with my order from the home patch - expect the shipment on or around the second week of July, but I have it ready to go once the stuffing arrives.....

JUNE... Pinchushion

OK, with the threat of another pass looming, and the month drawing to a nearer end, I had a panic. and although I had dragged out the fabrics, the book and the tools last week, I finally go to it  yesterday I spent some time....so progress has begun...

My stitcheries are complete - yes I decided to stitch the little home instead of applique, and I have now joined almost all the hexis....that's tonight finish.

I am going to say  it may be late as I finally tracked down the walnut shells at Hatched and Patched and placed my order today. So once they arrive I can complete it.

But I have dragged out Next month's pattern and I am thinking of altering the stitchery...but I am thinking early!!!

Pass please

Sorry girls, May has been a flat month for me.....putting in my pass!!

April

Ooops, it's the 1st of May. I had great intentions of posting the first week.....but!!!!!!!!!!

I got Sick, really sick, there is a vomiting Gastro bug going around and it knocked me out for about a week......I felt horrid... 

Then I had a market, so with being sick well.....

Then number one son's work is swept through with the flu last week, being a Chef he had to send staff home....etc and then he comes down with it, and well needless to say another two of us as well...

So the month of April disappeared 

But I had already done Aprils project, yes I made 3 of them and gave them as gifts.

if I can get away with it Ill try or its a pass please Chooky

February - one bag complete another on the cutting table

OK, so I noticed on my last post my changes didn't go unnoticed by our chooky, i am so hoping that i don't get smacked, but more changes in the finished item as well.

I know, that February is supposed to be from Red Home by Natalie Bird, but I had purchased the Natalie Lymers pattern to make a friend, because we stitch and drink tea together so the saying was perfect. But neither of us need another sewing keep it all, but well what girl doesn't need another tote bag? I loved the pockets and panels of the tote bag, but I also liked my bag I made last month with the gusset. so yes you'll notice another change. :)

I course I said neither of us needed another sewing bag, yep keeping with my make two motto when giving homemade away, I've traced off two stitcheries.

As I was gift giving on the 13th February, there was no mucking around so I have completed one so far the other is in my hoop still. But all pieces are cut ready to go.

If only I could stop crocheting and get stitching.

Almost 2 completed and I'm happy!
