Fun Stitching around the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

http://www.sugarlane-designs.com/p/friday-night-sew-in-fnsi.html





I have decided to join in this fun group and am sure its lots of fun stitching around the world.


I am still busy with my "Fushion Quilt" Takes a bit of time to get all the blanket stitching done, but am trying to get around 10 blocks a week finished. There are 100 blocks to be completed before I join them all together.  I need to get some more stitching done and with the inspiration of this group its is possible.

Update on 'Romance in Paris'

This is my completed block! Looking great!

A finish!!!!

This is two Bible book covers for grandsons and a kitchen towel!

My next quilt ' Romance in Paris'

The first is my fabrics that l am using forward this quilt. The Paris bicycle fabric is my main choice hence the name!

Next is a picture of what the fushion quilt looks like!  Combo of fabric and crochet!

A Scrap Challenge Quilt

 This is my scrap challenge quilt and was said not to buy any new fabric to make the top.
Also when I finished cutting the small squares I was to just put them in a bag and take one block at a time and just sew together. Well this is the end product and I am very impressed with this scrap way of doing a quilt. I have always had themes and also colors to use, so its a first for me doing it this way. Now just to sandwich and quilt it.

A bit of this and that!

We had some lovely rain after a very hot  month and of course Lucky and Coco had lots of fun in the mud. I had to make a scrap quilt and the challenge was to use what l have! Well l finished the top at last. I am working on my next cross stitch sal ( stitch a long) with a group of friends. The Sewing Room by Joan Elliott.

A New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well its into 2016 with Christmas and New Year behind us, our daughter and her family left early this morning to go back home to Port Alfred. It was such a wonderful time having both kids and their families with us this year. We have not been all together for many years and thus regard this as a wonderful blessing in our lives.

All our family for Christmas 2015

Some finishes and sad news

Finished this Magic Dragon designed by Joan Elliott.

My Angel of Cross Stitching also designed by
Joan Elliot, which uses 391 dmc colors, is now completed.
will be washed and framed next year.

And the very sad news is that we have lost a wonderful neighbor and also a very special
friend last week. Okkie Maas was a much loved person here in Clanwilliam.
He was an English teacher and was loved by most of his students. It was a privilege
to have known him.
