Ornie Swap

Our Friends in Stitching group - had an ornie swap and  I received a lovely Bon-Bon and a gorgeous woollen ornie to hang on my tree. THANKYOU so much Bec 

and this what I gave to Sarah, a pink and red bauble with a chocolate star.

Two Friends and One Block

Hello everyone, this Totti and her friend...

I finished them a couple of week ago for my doll making class. I usually make two dolls at a time and each one will have a little personality of it's own.

and 

 My Patty Cake Block from Some Kind of Wonderful

I was debating whether to machine applique, like I always do as it's quicker but decided to go with needleturn. It's really was a nice change.

Back from the Quilter

My 'In a Pear Tree' quilt has just arrived back from the quilter. The top had been hanging around for sometime as I wanted to have it custom quilted...glad I did it just finishes the quilt. I'm very pleased with the result.

She has quilted leaves on the green and swirls on the blue and echo quilted the pears.

 All that is left is the binding, just in time for Christmas.

Christmas Finishes

OMG, I can't believe I have finished!

I joined Chookyblue's Stitch-A-Long to make this little Christmas quilt 'Tis the Season' and I beat the deadline...I'm pretty chuffed about that...not good with deadlines when it come to sewing things for me.

Unless it's a doll...my favourtive past time.

Meet Holly, she is another wonderful cutie by Annie Smith 

Sew and Tell

I made these friendly country dolls for the Beaudesert Quilters...they have asked if I would show them how to make a doll but I had to work within a few restriction...like "we don't want a head that look like thumb" "please, make it a dolly doll". After scratching my head, I decided Annabella would suit most of the ladies...I was right I now have 13 ladies going to make her.

 

A new Beatrice Bear

I have used gorgeous guipure lace for the hem of her dress...very pretty.

Wait there is more...

 I starting making these little wool bags at camp

so easy to make and very cute...

 as is this little origami bag I made using Lecien's Flower Sugar.

 Love this range.

Off to a new home

I have been busy busy making things of late.

Meet Beatrice who has gone to live with a lovely lady and whole bunch of other bears.

Dream Angel

I had a lazy day yesterday making my Dream Angel, another wonderful doll by Annie Smith.

She has the cutest face and her little outfit is so sweet.

But her wings got a little burnt on landing so I had to make her a new pair. 

A lesson learnt...don't walk away from the microwave when making wings.
