My Stitching and

Hello my friends.
Nearing the end of the month so I will show a few more projects
I have been working on. 
I started my circle of friends 
`Threads that Bind`
a The Drawn Thread design.
I could not help myself starting this one. :)
I did make a mistake with Ruby Slipper thread.
This meant I didn`t have enough so while looking for another of the same
I saw WDW Brick.
I am using that in this section and will go back 
and use in the other space`s as well.


I also enjoy stitching BBD design patterns 
hence started this lovely design,
It`s Spring Fever .


I like kitting up my projects but found if put aside for any reason I
sometimes miss placed the threads 
and when found wondered what design they where meant for .
So now I`ve started putting them on rings with
these labels.


 I am also stitching a few fobs and things for friends
 so once they have received their gifts I will show those too.
In a few months time we are going on an overseas trip
 to see my Pen Pal of 50 years who lives in USA .
So when I saw this daylight lamp I had to get one.
Very compact.


It takes batteries and extends up


A safety cap over the magnifier .


Plus it`s so light. :)
Well must sign off .
Happy Stitching,
Clare.

For me

Hello my friends.
Barbara of 
http://tostitchornottostitch.blogspot.co.
 had a give away of this pattern and I won, :)
Essamplaire Petite
Collection 1.
By Brenda Gervais.


I have ordered the called for threads and will look at 
my linen stash for kitting up. 
My thoughts are to stitch the lady first.

  
Last block of Country Blues.
I have sewn the centre pieces of this mystery but 
waiting on a little more fabric to finish border blocks.


Once this has been done I will show layout.
May even have this one quilted.
This coming weekend we have Ezekiel coming to stay.
On the 28th he will be 9 months old.
He loves to roll.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.
