Jolly Santa deco

Barb (Theodora Cleave) has released some gorgeous new buttons this year. It's her Santas that make me want to stop whatever I'm doing and start making Christmas decorations regardless of the time of year. That’s the reason behind this simple and quick – yes you can make it in a night, decoration.

 

 

If you’d like to make one too, the Jolly Santa deco kit is available from my online store for $14 plus P&H.

Just click on the link below.

Jolly Santa

The kit includes the pattern, fabrics, threads, Jolly Santa button, ribbon, iron-on-pellon, rusty bell & cardboard.

 

Kits will be available at the shows I’m attending this year.

See Events in the side bar for details.

Two Friends - Leeton

It happens every year, and I'm still surprised at how quickly January & February whiz past. Next Tuesday is 1st March and I'm heading to Two Friends at Leeton to teach the thread roll from the Happiness is.... club plus do a trunk show. There are two classes, Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. Please contact the shop for details. I'd love to see you there.

 

 

I will have all the samples from the club to show you and some more.

 

 

weekend sewing

It took me most of last Saturday to decide on the layout of a baby quilt for a friend's grandson. Little quilts are one of my favourite things to make as they provide the perfect opportunity to try something different. With the day slipping away I gave up on designing something new and chose an existing pattern - the baby quilt from Things I love to Make. No maths to work out, it was already done. Plus it is easier to pick fabrics when you have a picture to guide you.

 

Else was working on this cushion, Bird's Song at January Finishing School; all that's left to do is stitch the birdie's legs. The photo does not do it justice.

 

 

Only four weeks to Craft Alive - Dubbo.

Some of the lovely fabrics you'll find at Stand 64.

Happiness is.... Saturdays class

Here are the thread rolls some of the girls made at class last Saturday.

 

Mel saves the tape wrapped around the Moda fabric packs and used it. It looked great.

 

Sally & Jenny's thread rolls.

 

Sue & Gabby's (inset) thread rolls.

I'll never get bored seeing the different fabrics and trims the girls use.

Happiness is.... february

The first mail out and classes for the Happiness is..... club started this week.

The first project is a thread roll; something I've wanted to make for ages. We all have a list of things we want to make 'some day' so you'll know how good I feel now that it's done.

 

 

This one is for the Aurifil threads I like to stitch with.

If you're in Albury this Sunday, come along to the Community Market and check out the thread roll and much more. You'll find me at G11.
