An early almost finish....

Hi my name is Deb,  I own frog cottage designs and used to be an avid blogger until I broke my leg badly in late 2013. I didn't just break my leg I broke my sewing mojo too, so I am excited to be a part of this years stitchalong. Thank you to Chooky and Susan for your hard work in organising and for any future whip cracking lol.... can't wait for next month to get started on Annis new quilt. I live 50kms North of Bathurst so The Home Patch is my local quilt store!!!!!!

I've never completed anything this early before lol but ta dar.....



I really enjoyed stitching this one, love the CGT Running Postman, tis a new favourite now. Just need to find some fabric and make it into a wall hanging....
Happy Stitching

A few days to spare....

I've just finished my stitchalong item for July, Natalie Birds Tis the Season bag. I decided to not make mine with a Christmas theme and chose fabrics from my stash. I needle turned a cute house and stitched a little tree.....I also found a little bird button, too cute!



Its a nice bag, the good thing about this stitchalong is that Im making projects I wouldn't have otherwise...thanks Chooky!
