Final football quilt

I have finshed the three football supporter quilts that I was aked to make. This is number 3. I will have to pack them up and get them to their new owners.

Secret Stitchers Angel

These are the three gifts I sent to my secret stitcher angel swap partner. I made a pin cushion, needle case and a fold up sewing companion.

I sent them to Krisztina http://www.enigmahmc.blogspot.com/, she lives in Budapest.

Mathilda's Quilt

I have made this quilt for a friends daughter who turns 1 next month.The embroidery is from a pattern by Leanne Beasley and the fabric is simplicity.

I have stippled the quilt.

Weekend Retreat

On the weekend 8 of us were invited to Carols farm just out of town for a retreat. Carol holds these wonderful weekends about twice a year and we have a great time sewing, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. I made these two rugby league supporter quilts for friends sons, using a flag for the centre.

Sorry the photos are blurred, I have a problem with my camera.

Stiching Angel Gifts

These are two of the gifts made for me by Berni Shell my stitching angel. Thankyou so much Bernie I really appreciate these lovely hand made gifts. Bernie also sent me a laundry bag,steam a seam, which you use to stick applique on with, some chocolate (which I have eaten) a postcard and badge from Seattle where she lives. Bernie also made and sent a lavender bag, but unfortunately we have very strict laws about bringing plant material into Australia so the package was opened by custome and the lavender bag removed. They sent me a note saying I could have the lavender bag "gamma irradiated" at the cost of $42.50, but Bernie and I decided the money could be better spent. Thanks once again.
