Good morning all. It has been quite cool for my little corner of the world which has been quite nice for hand quilting...no pics as you won't see much difference. But a stitch has been done here and there.
I have completed the butterflies block for Where You Love Is Home quilt. Another is prepped and ready to go.
The last page for my Slow Stitching Book is finished....it is a bit busy but I had several lacy pieces that I wanted to use without chopping them up. It did have me a little flummoxed as to how to achieve it and seem to take me ages with a lot of staring at it lol!The cover is now underway.....then I must work out putting it on.....lots of head scratching and research ahead!
Last two tags....not sure if I have posted No. 19....anyway it was WORDS. I used a little scrap of favourite fabric...do you keep the very last scrap of favourites?Seemed relevant in my current situation.
Tag No. 20 was PEKINESE STITCH.... I have never done it before. It was interesting but I should have made the base stitches bigger to make bigger loops but it was something new learnt and that's a good thing.
I actually got my sketchbook out recently also....it has been sorely neglected over the last little while. However a juvenile Little Friarbird just seemed to be asking to be drawn.....so I found that I could happily oblige!
Felt good I must say.
I am very humbled that more beautiful hearts and lovely cards are still arriving with the postman......thank you xxxx
We also celebrated my dear Husband's birthday. We enjoyed spoiling him with some of his favourites.
Music.....
Team merch, favourite people and cupcakes....That is about it from me for now.
Take care of each other.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
