Month: August 2008

Where does the time go? I haven't really done a lot this week, just the normal everyday mum stuff!!

If you would like a free…yes free!!…stitchery designed by me, pop on over to see Darlene at Bee Sew Whimsical and sign up for her newsletter…this month (actually September…which is MONDAY!!! and that means SPRING!!) there is a free little stitchery from me!!

I have also come across a new blog, Sonya from Giggle Buttons started her blog last Monday so pop over there and say hello.

I have finished a new sample for a pattern I did 3 years ago for Homespun. I have had requests for the pattern and decided it might be time to freshen it up. Here it is made  out of Madeira fabrics (one of my favourites) and I am very happy with it.  Colleen at Buttontree Quilts will have the patterns soon……

Summer Afternoon Table Quilt

Only 2 more days until Spring…….a little bit of warmer weather might be nice!!

Cheers

Thank you to everyone who left a comment to win my newest pattern.  I really appreciate it!!! (I also love to check out any new blogs that I might find through your comments……mmm…that can be addictive!!)

The 3 winners are……. Alda  , Joy and Laila S so please email me and I will pop them in the post for you!!!! ( I hope you enjoy making the projects!!!)

Here is another sneak look at what I have been up to…..of course I can't show all of it yet as it is for a workshop at Candleberry Country  in September…..I am sooo excited to be going….I am sure it will be great!!!

I have another new pattern this week also

remember this….from Foothills Christmas in July……it is now ready to go off to the shops…hooray!!

  The name of this pattern is "send a little Christmas wish" and it is a Christmas card folder to hold all of those cards you have been meaning to send…also pockets for stamps, pen, address book..etc..

I have included a bonus stitchery so that you can make a stitchery folder as well……these make great presents!!!

well back to work…..I mean stitching!!LOL!!….

bye for now
