Catch up

Sometimes life gets busy and posts get pushed aside till "tomorrow".  Finally here is my June "tomorrow" post.

This is the first finish from the mini kit, "Christmas Maidens 1" from Petals and Patches, which I bought on the Quilters Trail last month.  I have more stitcheries completed and ready to make up. 

I was finally able to find the thread (YAY) I needed to finish off my May stitchery.  The next stitcheries are under way, and I am sourcing fabrics to make up the quilt.This is a Gail Pan design - "Busy Little Christmas Elves".

Oops.....

I havent finished my  stitchery for my 1 Christmas Item for May.  I am using an Anchor thread, and I have run out of the colour I was using.  I headed off to Spotlight to buy some more, found they were clearing their range of Anchor threads, but that there was none of the colour I needed.  Now I have to find another local Anchor thread stockist or start over.  Here is my stitchery so far.

A Handy Finish

Yesterday I got busy ... found my tea towel stash ... dug out a fat 1/4 ... and got sewing. I've been wanting to make some of these hand towels for ages so off to the lovely Cheryll's for a tutorial and finished stitching the buttons on last night just in time.

Into the gift box ready for Christmas with more of these to follow I'm sure :o)

Meet 'Peter Polar Bear'

He is the second in the Advent Animals series by Brooke Nolan. I am still not decided on how to use them but I do know it will be some kind of advent calendar.

I know I am a bit early this month but once the weekend is here I tend to forget to do things. ;-)
