Shoe Bag Finished!!

I have to say I am loving Chooky's idea of making smaller items ..... they are very achievable, especially when you are on holidays from work and all the visitors have gone home!!   I have finished off this little Shoe Bag from Anni Downs book "Some Kind of Wonderful" .... it's great to see everyone's progress so far .... happy stitching everyone!!    Fiona H xx

Lately I only do the stitch of my "Gardener's Journal". I'm waiting for Santa Claus to bring me a Bernina, to do the patchwork!! Until then I will continue to embroider.

I 'm super excited when I see  all these beautiful works and it motivates me to continue. Congratulations  to all for the gorgeous, wonderful..... (I don't have words to describe!!!)  stitch and patch I saw here. 

I've  already  beginning with the preparation for Christmas  that it takes much of my time because my  lovely family is very big. But I 'm happy spending my time to do things that I like to those I love :)) 
Slowly......... but I will get there! Take a look...

Stitch A Long - Block G

 

Yay!! I have finished my Block G, I had a little glitch though I

was just about to put the final seam to my block when hubby

noticed that one piece was upside down, at first I thought he was

pulling my leg, but no he wasn't, some of my fabric has writing on it and it was upside down.

I'm sooo glad that this was picked up on the first block and not the tenth.

Can I say Hi to my friend Linda from Balranald in New South Wales, you see she is also

stitching with us and following along, I went to visit and showed her what we were doing and

she has joined us, she doesn't have a blog yet but I'm sure with a little encouragement

we may hear from her. So come on Linda take the plunge into blogland and say hi.

Happy Stitching!!

Mandy

Enjoying every moment :) :) :)

Slowly but I'm on the way!

I already have the fabrics.

After a cup of coffee, I will do the selection of fabrics for the block G.

Have a nice  week and enjoy yours stitching

P.S Here in Portugal is not the same hour!I didn't lunch yet!!

So far........

What a wonderful motivation this group is to get my beautiful quilt put together.  This has been an in between project over the last probably three years. 

When Chookyblue issued her challenge and the Stitch-A-Long was born all my stitcheries were complete and almost all of my fabric cut and sorted. 

One more block to put together and then to put the whole top together.  Excitement is growing here at Eleanor and Ruby. 

I am enjoying so much seeing the beginnings of so many different ideas and choices for this quilt.

Mine has been made completely from my stash, except I have purchased the borders. So much fun to Stitch-A-Long with you all.  Hopefully the final block will be put together today and maybe even begin to piece the top.   It's a public holiday here, so lovely to be at home with hopefully some time to stitch a little.
