Journal Cover Swap

My online group had a journal cover swap and this is what I made for Jan. I'm having problems with my camera as the fabric I used is Rouenneries from Moda - don't know why the photo has this glow.

 and this is what Peg made for me, beautifully wrapped in a fat quarter

when opened revealed my journal cover, so lovely and fresh. Just perfect for my counter at work.

Thanks Peg, I love it

Lifestyle Plus

As most of you know I don't get out much as I work 6 days a week in my patchwork store but I had the opportunity to spend the day with friends Teresa, Helen and Laurel. We had a lovely lunch after visiting a little patchwork shop situated on the headland overlooking beautiful Moreton Bay in Shorncliffe. While at Faeries in My Garden I purchased Garden Secrets kit for my sister, the colours just shouted her name. I know I don't need anymore kits but I will admit I can't help myself.

If I had a cool million plus I would move to Shorncliffe tomorrow - just look at the view from these two homes. Hey girls when are we going????

Xmastyme

I purchased the pattern for xmastyme some years back, started making it last year and have finally finished...just in time for Christmas.

Needle Turn Class

After 5 years of gentle persuasion, Helen taught her first class with us today. Helen is a beautiful embroiderer and her work is impeccable. The ladies left her class feeling very confident with the helpful tips Helen was able to share. All are looking forward to her next class.

Spring Craft Fair

This is how our stall looked at the 1st Spring Craft Fair held in Beaudesert last Satuday. We arrived to find out we had been allocated an area under cover and as I had planned to use our gazebo, my plans where shot to pieces.

Not quite what I had planned but it all worked out in the end thanks to Helen and my DH.

Lots of friends called by including Noela also a fellow blogger.

Shop Samples

Life's just so busy lately, hence no blogs but I've managed to make a few samples for my store. I made the quilt using Majestic Yule, the lastest Christmas range from Moda.

As you all know I love making dollies - I've just finished making Joe Jingles, he was fun to make and I'm quite pleased with him. Dolls like May's Flowers are very popular with my customers and they're always so cute.
