Nature's Journey Finish

Yay!  As of last night the last seam was sewn and pressed. Had to wait for outside to dry out after last nights storm ... a nice drop of 16mm.

I thought I would have a new dishcloth to share ...

but I wasn't happy with my casting on and then when I made a 2nd mistake in the pattern ... I pulled it out and started again ... still with red. A new cast on method (happy this time) but lack of concentration and another mistake so ...

Pulled it out again, put the red ball away and made a fresh start ... different colour ... different pattern.

Looking forward to a visit with this little munchkin again soon xx

September Rolls On

After our beautiful wedding weekend it was back to reality for a few days with work, washing, work, washing ... you get the picture. Friday rolled around and I needed to pack for ...

Stitchers Dream Day Out ~ Quilters Angel ~ Highfields

Lucky for me I got to experience not one but two dream days out. If I'm going to drive 4 hours there and 4 hours home I'm going to make the most of it! Thank you to my lovely friend and host Fiona who had a spare bed for me, it was a fantastic weekend of stitching in great company with friends old and new. Meeting our designers Julie Lovell (Calico Farm Designs) and Bronwyn Hayes (Red Brolly) was a special treat.

Day 1 ~ Table 2     What gorgeous project will I find?

Sweet teddies by Julie Lovell

So let's get stitching!

Always lovely to meet new friends and fellow bloggers.

End of day 1 ... delicious lunch, morning and afternoon teas, demonstrations by the designers and of course lots of chatter.

Stay tuned for day 2  :o)

Hello Spring

Wow!  A whole month has past since I was here last. With the recent lovely sunny days I took a moment to stop and smell the roses....amazing what a little bit of tender loving care will do.

Stitch by stitch my Natures Journey has progressed with the centre block completed right on deadline.

Only 4 more sleeps till DD's wedding day ... final touches are being made to decorations. Hoping this cold snap warms up a little and the wind stays away.
