Good Weather for Stitching

The last couple of days have been cold, windy and wet ... yipee!  Perfect weather for staying indoors and stitching.  Out came my winter dressing gown which is the secret signal for snuggle time for Jayne.

Friday night is also looking good for more stitching.  I've signed up over at Heidi's ... and there'll be a second FNSI on the 16th as well.

The Christmas Decorations are up ... here is my small fibreoptic tree which is home to my swap ornaments. Note the pincushion to the left? This is my sewing space usually so I've had to tidy up to make way for the tree.

Happy Sewing

A Goal for Christmas 2011

A while back during the hussle and bussle of finishing off things ready for Christmas, I mentioned to Marina and Carol about getting a head start on Christmas 2011. As far back as assignments for school, I was the one staying up late the night before getting them done.

So ... next year ... which is tomorrow for us Aussie girls ... we've decided to complete one Christmas item each month. It can be something for ourselves or something for gift giving. Then on the 25th of each month, we'll post a photo of the finished project.

Would you like to join us ... you are most welcome, just leave a comment on this post. We can all give encouragement to each other and I'll see about adding a list on my sidebar of participants.

My next Brutus is almost finished but not quite ready for a photo shoot so below is a pic of my very first quilt. It was started at a workshop in 1995 and even though it may look finished ... those horizontal lines you can see in 3 blocks are still the basting threads.

My other goal for 2011 is to attack my UFO's.

Happy New Year
