Yesterday I journeyed across town to my friend Anne's new home for a stitching day with the rest of my friends. We had several empty chairs....missed you ladies.
Morning tea was very delicious......home baked Melting Moments for a bit of naughtiness and beautiful platters of fresh treats....oh did I mention cheescake after lunch!
Pretty teacups and flowers were so delightful.
I forgot to take my book for Brinton Hall so only a couple of hexies got sewn together because I couldn't remember their placement.
More little hexies for me today. I really want these teeny ones together!
So I guess I will have to tie myself to my sewing machine.
I recently received photos from my friend
RAEWYN who works at the gorgeous patchwork shop
THE COUNTRY YARD in Whangarei New Zealand. They are very supportive of my designs. One such design which came about really because of a request from Kerryn was "Country at Heart" Alphabet.
One of their lovely customers has given permission for me to share her quilt top featuring the alphabet. Her name is Netta.
I just love how the letter "Z" has been popped on the border....beautifully stitched Netta. Thank you for sharing and I am really thrilled you enjoyed making it.
Well, I must get cracking as daylight is burning.
For you Jacky W. missed you yesterday xx
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

Always a good day if you are stitching - handy you had a spare project!! Love the alphabet quilt - its such a shame that English has 26 letters...25 would be so much easier!

ReplyDeleteNetta's quilt was lovely, it must b super nice to see your designs stitched up from all over!
ReplyDeletealways lovely to have tea and eats with everything looking so pretty. I could have sent you pics of Brenton to help as I have the pattern in that book of mine! How lovely is that alphabet quilt and so clever with the Z in the corner...
