PARCELS, STITCHING AND STILL WORKING ON HEXIES.

 I
My dear hubby is quite amused each evening when I haul my Insanity quilt to the couch, plonk down with it draped over my legs, cushions and floor and proceed to thread 3 needles to start stitching the borders . I made a vow to myself that I would work on this quilt every night until the first couple of borders are completed. With one side and another round to go on 3 sides, I still have a lot to do but it will happen! I then need to search for another background fabric that will surround all the rosettes ( hexie flowers)  for the next part of the quilt.

I have enjoyed stitching pressies, swaps and BOMs during the daylight hours .  I have now completed the 3rd block of Val Laird's BOM.


 
 
Having finished some things for swaps and birthdays I decided to start stitching this little pattern that I bought on the Fabric Frolic at The Patchwork Teahouse. I am stitching it in blue and putting it in a little frame in my bedroom.
 
 
 
 
 
 
My birthday is only days away now and I am starting to get quite excited as parcels arrive. I am really good and NOT opening them until the day.
 
 
 
 
I am also waiting for  Gail Pan's new Christmas book to arrive . Have you seen it?  
 
 
I hope you have all had a chance to enjoy some sunshine. The weather has been topsy turvy here , winter one day, autumn the next. Thankyou for stopping by.
 
Angel blessings.
