op shop find

The sun was shining and it felt like spring when I saw this sweet little bag in the op shop last Saturday.

 

How could I resist! 

When I asked how much and was told $4, there was no way I could leave it behind.

 

 

It is in near perfect condition, but I've decided to replace the lining with this spot fabric.

 

Then I'll have some fun deciding where it should go and what to pop inside.

Festive Stitches - my new book

 

A collection of nine stitcheries for the festive season.

Includes instructions to assemble the stitcheries into a wall quilt measuring 21½ x 29 inches.

I couldn't resist stitching a couple of decorations and making a gift bag and these have been included in the book too.

 Priced at $20.00

Australian orders will be posted free for the month of August.

lots to tell

There is so much to tell, I'm not sure where to start.

First things first, the Christmas Stitch-in was a fabulous success. Everyone had a lovely time.

Friday was a real rush, as I sorted through Christmas samples, dusted off the Christmas trees and checked with the printers what time I could collect my new book. It was ready with no time to spare, before heading out to The Joy Bus to set up.

A big thank you to Bronwyn for helping me Friday afternoon.

 

Then it was home to finish packing the goodies bag.

 

 The workshop well under way and the girls enjoying themselves.

 

 

It was a real delight seeing how much was achieved on the day.

 

 One of the blocks from the new book Festive Stitches.

 

The stitcheries are from Festive Stitches and the felt applique from Joy to All.

 

Pudding Anyone? was a kitted project the girls received in their goodies bag. They whizzed through making this one - from memory they were finished by lunch time  - including painting and sealing the spools!

Thank you to Fiona from The Joy Bus, for the delicious lunch and yummy morning & afternoon teas. I was too busy sampling to remember to take a photo.

And special thanks to the delightful group of girls who attended the workshop.

getting ready for the Christmas Stitch-in

Only one more week before the Christmas Stitch-in. There are kits to do, fabric to cut and fold, samples to sort and goodies bags to fill, but yesterday I took some time out to sew a variation of one of the workshop projects.

There are two places left at the workshop.
