A Christmas Story

In 2012 Deb ( Frog Cottage Designs)and I have decided to work on Anni Downs " A Christmas Story" and "An Angels Story".
We try and sew together on Mondays and hopefully keep each other motivated for the duration :)

This is the beautiful kit of fabric that Margaret from The Home Patch made up for us, such gorgeous colours for the Christmas Quilt.

I cant wait to start it , just have to finish a few other things first :)

Gardeners Journal Progress!!!!

Here is Block H ... nearly finished stitching Yay !!!!!
Will piece the block together on the weekend.
Am enjoying getting back into this :)

Potting Up

John has been sowing and growing a lot of his own seeds this year .... if even a quarter of them produce veges we will have plenty.
Noah and Lil love to help dad in the garden especially because they love to play in the dirt :)

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

I love the fabric, i love the name, i love the song ..... i just love everything Ruby :)
Miss Lily is almost 6 and i think its time she has a proper big girl quilt. I made her a Shaggy Quilt here . It was the first thing i made when i started my patchwork journey... its still used and loved and the flannel has only got softer :)
I have found a great pattern in my Layer Cake and Jelly Roll book and will start it when i finish a couple of other WIP's

Punchneedle !!!!

On Saturday Deb and I went to The Home Patch for a class with Anni.
What great fun punchneedling is..... so quick and simple and it looks so nice.

During class i made a little star and heart too be made into Christmas decorations.
When i got home i made the Punchneedle tool holder. I wasn't completely happy with all the colours i used in it but i still love it.

On the day i also got a box of "Valdani" Threads , they are so beautiful and a lot easier than using DMC.

Punchneedle Class & Blog Girls Lunch

I have had a great day today first of all i went to The Home Patch for a Punchneedle class with Anni Downs. I am so glad i went , its something i have always wanted to learn but put off because i thought it was to hard.
But it wasnt , it is so simple, quick and effective :)

After that I had Lunch with Deb, Allison, Donna, Kate, Sandy and Anita at Crepes Royale. It was so nice to meet some other bloggy girls in real life.

I will back with some pictures of my punchneedle when we get out new modem. Yesterday ours decided to die and Bigpond assure me it will take 3-5 days... until then i am "borrowing" my sisters Internet :)

We so far have planted Tomatoes, Corn, Spinach, Beans, Zucchini, Squashs, Watermelon and Pumpkin. Still planning on a few more veges .
