More show results......

 Our second local show gave the above piece a first prize, plus my first ever blue ribbon. It's called Wrens & Grevillea by Semco.

 I entered this piece in the second show as the jacket from the first show had gone to it's new home.

So, overall for this one was a first and a second.  The A3 quilt challenge got the second prize in this show as well.  Not bad for my own creation.

Christmas is now just over 5 weeks away.  I'm pleased to say my shopping is almost done (I don't like leaving things to the last minute), so I can sit back and relax a bit & finish the Lion off, re-arrange my sewing room and plan my next major stitch.

Thanks for stopping by....

Finished...



Boronia & Fringed Violets



Yipee....it's finished, including the crocheted edge.  I made a change to the edge instructions supplied by DMC, and think this one looks nicer.  It's all pressed, now just to wrap it for Christmas (bit too soon yet though).

Samburu - Lion by Jenny McWhinney



Well now I can get back to completing the Lion's head, which I'm doing as a wall hanging.  We did the class at the end of July and now I can get stuck in as I've finished the Christmas present stitching.  I'm pretty pleased with it so far, but am looking forward to getting this one finished too.

Spring

I think Spring is finally here - these 2 greeted me this morning as I had breakfast.  Winter has been so cold, we hadn't seen many animals for a while.  Of course, I took this from the safety of the dining room so they didn't hop away.

Here is the final end of the Boronia and Fringed Violets.  Just the Violets & stems to go, then the edge to crochet.

and here is the entire piece, which should look much nicer when it's finished, washed & pressed.

Until next time.....

Busy, busy, busy

Purple runner

Blue runner



How I'd like more time to create, but at last I'm getting the Christmas gifts done.  Finished the table runners & now for the embroidered doilies.  The table runners from a pattern called Jacobs Jazz, were fun to make.



Blue Willow runner



The Willow Pattern from Semco, done in Anchor threads is finally finished too leaving the Boronia & Fringed Violets by DMC to do.

Off to it...
