Having some fun!

Well everyone, I am busy with a group wall hanging, and have come to realize that I am not really a group person. Love to do my own thing!!!!! This project is taking me totally outside the box and not
something I like doing. Also I am doing lots of the work and not thinking up nice things to add. grrrrr
somehow me thinks they are just using me to do the hand needle turn applique because the designer is a real art quilter and although I like the design, I just don't like that type of quilt wall hanging. Well its got to get done even the handwork. She prefers machine stitching but this requires a lot of hand stitching. O well now I need to get off here and get to work some more on the boring stuff. Hope to get back to my embroidery soon.

The Village bag

This is my flowers on the arch completed. Just so nice and dainty, he he not what l started out with, but must say much prettier than the original.

Real miniture

This mini quilt was something l really needed to do. Just had to make something small using fabrics. Having withdrawal symptoms not using fabrics. Think too much embroidery is causing it. The small square in a circle is 3cm and the total size is 11cm square. Somebody gave this tiny a name, it's called "Oops". Such a cute name don't you agree? Well still have to get some ordinary string in stead of the ribbon!

Something done!!!



This is the other pocket for the 3rd panel of my bag.



This is a picture taken by a friend of
Clanwilliam today.

A bit more!

Did a bit more embroidery this afternoon on my pocket of the bag on panel 2. Having so much fun.

2nd Panel of my bag!

I bought this pattern of the Village Bag. The info on this is not very professional but as always l am changing this to my liking. Don't think l will be buying any kits in the future because l am forever changing it. I am using a lot of organza ribbon because it holds its fullness with everyday use whereas silk ribbon tends to fall flat. I love silk ribbon too but only use it in items that gets framed!
This is the second panel!

Some Problems!!!!

Well I had my computer "crash" and lost lots of my personal stuff, but now I have learned the hard way to "back up" regularly. Now have been all kitted up with an external hard drive and also some usbs. Now I am ready to keep my life a little more updated.

Hehehehehe wish I could say that about all the usual house work. It never ends. Luckily I have a nice cluttered home and dust does not seem to gather so quickly as when a house is minimalistically designed, hehehehe

Well now I have a whole new empty computer to fill and will have lots of fun along the way.
Had problems connecting to the internet and now sorted out.

Well have a great day and take care till next time and now I have to get some stitching done.

Playing around

I have been playing around with my charms and now need to embroider all the flowers. Love it!

A Small project!

Not done much, l have been working on this panel, but had to stop and start working on a wall hanging for our towns 200year birthday to show end August. Will show once completed!

busy as always!

 

I have now got into my daily routine, well sort of. Have been x stitching a bit in the mornings and then started embroidering on the panels of a bag.
Have been asked to help with a nice wall hanging quilt for the towns festivities being 200 years old this year. Have been working on it too but not allowed to show. Its a real privilege that l will be mentioned in helping with something so special for many years to cone. There are not many quilter in town so it will be lots of work for the few of us that are willing to help.
 We are also now into autumn and just love the cooler weather at last. So now it just back to enjoying life in general.
 It was my son Bennie"s birthday yesterday and l can't believe that he is now 38years old. Where has the time gone! It is also hubby"s birthday tomorrow and he approaching his 70s very fast.
Have a great creative week with lots of blessings to you all.

Another new bag!

I have now started on my next project and will be adding a lot of embroidery.
Will be adding lots of pretty flowers.
