About Me

I started stitching a few years ago thanks to a very dear friend. She has encouraged and taught me so much. I am the Mum of three great kids who I love dearly. I love to stitch in my spare time and even though I am a newbie I enjoy it very much.

Cutting cutting cutting........


Well I think I have just about had enough cutting out for a while, time to get back into the fun part...Stitching. I spent a nice wet Australia Day and last night cutting fabric for Gardeners Journal and Tis the Season. I love the colours in Gardeners Journal and I am hoping to start stitching Block A today. Hah I have a 13 year old girls birthday sleep over....dont think there will be much stitching going on, although there is bound to be no sleeping either.

I had bought fabric for TTS before christmas and then I wasnt so sure of the colours. Turns out my Mum loves them so I bought some more. I never need an excuse to go shopping. Thus for the stitch a long with friends Susan (Thimble Stitch) and Ann (Lavender Blue Stitches) I will be doing two TTS quilts.

 One in nice rusty reds for my Mum
 
 And this unusual green for me.
Have a great weekend all.
Happy stitching. xox

  2. Love your colour choices for TTS - it might be hard to decide which one to keep! You will love doing GJ - it has the best stitcheries. I'm taking mine to Nundle for show & tell. Have fun (?!?) at the sleepover.
