My Town "Florist" Finished

My Florist is ready to go....

Complete with flowers of all colours.....

This is the wool felt that I chose for my block.......

 I went for apples in the tree instead of oranges.....

I also skipped the bulky flowers and went with flat ones instead.....

 I added a handle to my flower cart and

changed the foilage and flowers as well.....

 I am a bit excited as I now have completed 6 blocks....

There are only 4 months to go.....

Better get started on "The Teahouse"......

Until next time, Happy Stitching

What's in your Hoop?

 The Coin Purse from Some Kind of Wonderful is in mine.....

The little blue shoes are very cute.....

Stitcheries for Christmas Cones

I managed to get these finished while I was

 at the basketball over the weekend....

 They are the stitcheries for the Christmas Cones

that match my Noelle Table Topper....

 Just need to get the fabrics cut and finish them off......

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Some Kind of Wonderful Pin Cushion

I had a bit of trouble trying to trace the stitchery design for this

 with my light box because the linen was a bit thick.....

So it was off to Marally Craft for me to get some transfer paper...

It worked a treat and I am now ready to stitch

 when the thread comes in at The Home Patch....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Kate

Cup Cake Table Runner

I have been tracing and fusing cupcakes.....

They look yummy and have no calories....

 Also made a dozen prairie points.....

 I am driving to Terrigal this afternoon for a basketball

 weekend so I should get these blanket stitched on

before I come home Sunday night.....

I hope you all have a great weekend.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Hexagon Rows

I have been joining blocks and joining blocks.....

 And I now have my three and a half rows ready for the stitched white hexagons to be done before I then join the rows together.....

And look what I have done.....

Set myself a goal to have this completed by the end of 2011.....

Not sure if that was such a great idea as I think I am going to hand quilt it the same as Leanne has done in "Vignette" Issue 4......

Until next time, Happy Stitching....

Fat Quarter Bundle

 I treated myself to this fat quarter pack of

Simple Abundance by 3 Sisters for Moda....

 I saw it on the Cobar Quilt Shop blog and just had to have it.....

 A bargain at $64 for 19 fat quarters......

They may still have some left.....

 I am not sure what I will make with it yet.....

I am interested in having a look at the "Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt" book but have not come across it in a shop yet.....

I think it may be nice in this fabric......

 I just love that my bestie Suze works there

as she pops in little pressies for me....MWAH Thanks Suze xo

 A delicious little roll for me to create something......

Until next time, Happy Stitching

A Simply Gorgeous Finish!

Another finish for me.....

This shoe bag is very cute.......

Tho original pattern did not have lining

 but I added a soft cream spot......

This one was a kit from Hatched and Patched....

I am going to experiment and make some more out of

my fabrics as I think this is a great gift idea.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching
