Hello all! It seems incredible to me at how the days are flying by and it also seems to take me ages to get back to my blog these days. But here I am with my stitchings progress.
"Where We Love Is Home " is coming along with the centre house block completed.
It slots in about here.....I have the Alphabet and Number stitchery blocks waiting in the wings too!I am happy to see this quilt starting to develop. I was a bit worried that my scrappy fabric choices were a bit much but I think its starting to gel.
Before we had this recent spot of really warm weather I was making headway on my hand quilting on Heartstrings!
Tags are up to date. Can't quite believe we are up to Tag 40Tag 38 - Reverse Applique.
We were asked to keep the bits we cut out for Tag 39.
Tag 39 - Applique. Tag 40 - Something "yummy" you had bought from a shop or craft show and never used.
I chose one of a pair of gorgeous ceramic Forget.Me.Not buttons, bought in regional Victoria on one of our wonderful road trips and a pale blue little lace motif, also one of a pair.
Recently I spent a lovely morning with my littlest Granddaughter sharing some drawing. She loves to draw cartoon characters. Her story was a mobile phone and a packet of fries fell in love hahaha! Such a character and I love to see kids being creative.....just going with it!
Even at 8 years old she is so interesting to have a conversation with and has such a great imagination. My job on request was to draw her favourite....BATMAN! Lets just say Erin's idea of my ability far outweighed the reality...lol! But she thought it was COOL!I fancied a little slow stitching and have a little bit of secret stitching in mind....So that's about it from me.
Take care and stay safe one and all.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
Gorgeous tags and great grandparent time....so precious.
ReplyDeleteYour ceramic forget-me-not button is absolutely gorgeous Michelle. It was just waiting for this moment. Tag No. 40, and you never run out of creative ideas, I am in awe. Erin is a cutie, and it must be lovely to see her keen to draw and what fun to chat. I love to chat with grandchildren too :) xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the way the house block looks. It is good when you can start seeing the overall picture. The tags come together so well.
