Friends in Stitching, the online group I belong to, had a swap of Anni Downs' projects and Friday was our opening night, during a rather manic chat session.
Tereasa in Queensland made me this stitching folder, pincushion and scissor case; aren't they gorgeous. All wrapped up in pretty fabric, too. Thanks heaps, Tereasa!
And this is what I made for Chookyblue in NSW; she's a country girl so I couldn't resist this Farm Girl stitchery.
I love swaps!
I went to the Australiasian Quilt Convention in Melbourne on Thursday and came home with shockingly sore feet and some new goodies.
Some lovely fabrics.
Natalie Bird's "Tis the Season book - lovely little Christmas stitcheries - tape and a kit for a mug bag, designed by Lisa Chandler. I love her fabric; I'm making this project for my daughter. A coaster is included in the kit but it will be too heavy to post so I'm keeping it - ssh, don't tell her!
Pretty felts, some wool and a couple of little patterns. I made the little key fob at Marg Low's Make and Take class. I love Marg's designs and was so happy to meet her; she's my nice neighbour's SIL .
