FNSI

On Friday I joined in with lots of other stitchers for FNSI.  I continued to work on a secret project that is in these colours..There will be a reveal of the whole project soon..

                                   

And here are some little Christmas decorations that are now all finished and ready for my little tree..

                                                       

Spring Blooms...

..not from my garden though.  One of the ladies in the Friday stitching group (that I get to catch up with after school) had a bucketful that she had picked from her garden..and we all got to take a bunch home with us..how lucky were we..

                   

It's a Mystery..

..quilt project that is..when I saw the post from The Country Yard advertising a stitchery mystery quilt I was interested..it was the colours that got me!!

When I got home this afternoon the first package was in the mail..

                                   

When I opened it up this  was inside..a beautifully wrapped package....                

                                       

which I opened up to reveal this box to put everything in...

                                     

and inside it was the fabric for the some of the stitcheries..some Cottage Garden and Aurifil thread ...

                                      

..and a needlecase..which was a lovely surprise...

                   

Now I can't wait till the next month's package arrives....

FNWF and a challenge

Well Friday after work I met up with my stitching friends  to see what they are working on and of course to have a cuppa with them.  So later on I spent a little time on these little circles of felt which need to be finished this week , and then they will be added to the little pillows on my tree.

I joined in to the challenge that Clare of Clare's Craftroom organised for August.  These were the 2 photos that Clare emailed to me for inspiration...

  and

       

 I focused on the basket and the colour.  I like basket blocks and so I made up one block..was going to make more but no time this month.  My little block has ended up as a pincushion which should come in handy..

                             

OPAM

A little late in posting a finish for August..the little Christmas stitcheries from a few weeks back hanging on the wooden tree that I made at the 'Christmas group' I go to each month.  The empty spaces are for the rest of the ornaments that are still under construction.

                             

..and I've just seen that it is the first Friday tomorrow so time to sign up for Friday Night With Friends over here
