It's such a cute little pin cushion.
I'm making a start on the stitcheries for April as I know how easily time can get away. We'll have two weeks of school holidays thrown in there, too.

February Bag Finished
At 2.30pm today, I put the last stitch into the Tote bag for February. Yay! Tick me off the list, Chooky. Timed so well as our littlest one finishes Prep at 2.40pm.
Very happy with the result. Here it is:
We're going away this weekend so I'm tracing the pin cushion stitchery this afternoon. Really liking this SAL - getting things completed. Thanks Chooky for the organising.

Slowly, slowly!
Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still stitching away. Sorry - no pictures. Hope to have some tomorrow.
I've been spending quite a bit of time in hospital waiting rooms. Firstly with my son getting his broken leg/torn ligament sorted out and then with my second youngest daughter getting her appendix out. Its been quite a year.
I've selected the fabric - stayed with reds and bought bigger pieces than needed so thatni can use the same fsbric with some of the other projects. No photo of that either. Big plams to do lots today, but managed to get a replacement specialist appointment for another son - cancelled because of the appendix op. Now that's out of the way, I'm hoping to get some things sorted out tomorrow.

February stitching
I've had to drag myself away from my crocheting thus month to get into the stitching this month.
I've modified my project this month to include one of Natalie Lymers patterns on my bag - it's coming along nicely!
Sitting in air conditioned comfort today.
Another hope quilt awaits binding too!

So far in February...
Greetings from Finland!
Stitchery and applique piece for the tote is now done! And I have picked up some fabrics and ribbons...
If you look the stitchery closer, I made few changes: the door and the star are appliqued too.
The embroideries I made with the DMC six stranded thread, color 53 (variegated gray).
Happy Stitching time to you, my SAL Friends!!!!

February Project
I've made a start on the February project of the Tote Bag.
This was the stitchery when i arrived at the Mater Hospital with my son to get his broken leg looked at:
After two sessions at the hospital, this is it:
Definitely prgogress. Ive just stitched this on tea stained home spun. Happy with the look, but today i bought some linen for another project. Wow! Forgotten how beautiful that fabric is, so I'm tempted to try it using the linen -which is recommended anyway.
I just love the fabric Natalie has used in her sample. So thinking of sticking to these colours. Will sort these fabrics next week.
Cheers

January projects completed
Well, its been a bit of a week. We went away for the long weekend - a bit rushed at the end. So I only took Gardeners Journal stitching with me. Unfortunately, i got caught in the floods in
the Wide Bay area of Queensland. Once the rain stopped and the wind died down we were fine (although the wind and rain was very scary!). But we then had to sit and wait until they opened up the highway to the south of us.
I ran out of DMC thread for the GJ blocks. DH didn't seem to think it likely that this could be declared an emergency and have them helicoptered in. I got a little panicky then. All this time and no sewing. Ahhh! Luckily, I have a few things stashed away in Childers. So I started on an English Paper piecing table runner by Sue Daly. That is coming along quite nicely. I haven't a photo on here to use so that will have to come later.
We managed to drive home yesterday. Not too bad a drive but the flooding was just amazing. The heights the water had reached. Incredible.
Today was the day. I made two thread catchers. They were incredibly easy and lots of fun. I can see me making a few more. Very handy little items. I finished this about midday - hours before the deadline. Lol!
Here they are:
Not the best photo but they are done. I still have the shoe bag almost complete. Will get that done in February. But i can tick January off with a few hours to spare. Yay!!

Getting Started
I'm on holidays, so a sewing machine is not readily available. But, i've still made a start on the SAL. This is it:
Ready to be stitched onto the shoe bag.
"Red Home" has been ordered and my DIL tells me that its waiting for me at home. So hopefully I can join the thread catcher addiction very soon.
Ive also been stitching some more Gardener's Journal. I didnt join this SAL, but was so impressed by all the beautiful quilts that I just had to start. I've done lots this holidays to many other blocks. I'm picking one coloured thread and working on that on all the blocks I have traced. Nearly there on quite a few. All my sashing fabric has been selected. More progress tomorrow.
The heat wave seems to have eased a little. Quite pleasant nights and warm days. But we do need rain! None of the storms predicted came to anything in our part of the world.
Cheers
