Stitching Day Lets Get Stitched

This is my last post for LGS. We had our stitching day on the Sunday. It was a wonderful day with our goody bags holding lots of wonderful treasures including lollies to give us extra energy and tickets for extra prizes drawn throughout the day. Also all the gorgeous patterns with starter kits from each of the designers and guest designers were inside.

Jenny's Welcome Home Hanging, Vikki Columbine's PDF Folder, Joy's Doodle Blocks  , Dawn's Preston Bag, Fee's Everyday Retreat Bag, Marilyn's Shopping Compendium. 

Vicki's Table Runner and fabric kit

Marilyn's kit with fabric & trimmings & one with just trimmings.

I was a bit late getting up to the table where the kits were and so only managed to buy the above.

Here is our table with our surprise guest designer Rosalie Quinlan paying us a visit, Dawn Hay, Teresa, Narelle, Michelle, De, me and Deb. I have lots of Rosalie's patterns so it was wonderful to meet her in person.

This is Rosalie's project for us. She kindly ironed on  the stitchery for most of us and signed the bottom  with my name and hers.  I will definitely treasure this.  

The charm pack on the right was the one I received in my goody bag.

To finish, this is the back of my mug rug which has been signed by all who attended. The day was the highlight of the weekend. We had wonderful food, great company and managed to get some stitchery done as well.
Thank you to  Vicki, Dawn, Fee and Joy for making the weekend  such a success.
In March 2015, Let's Get Stitched will be in my home state of Queensland.
Well must go, till next time..........  Happy Stitching............

OPAM, 1 Xmas Item a Month, Let's Get Stitched.

I don't know what is happening but here we are in February already and January is but a blur.
I again joined Kris and Peg for OPAM this year and sadly I only have one finish which was my 1 Xmas Item a Month. This year we have a dedicated blog for this and once signed up with Narelle of Pins and Whiskers, we can add our own post to the blog, which I did, but I also need to show the photo on here for OPAM.

I have quite a few things on the go though and so hope I will have a better tally of finishes for February.



Lastly, I  am also working on my mug rug and bus trip badge for Let's Get Stitched in Melbourne which I am attending this year. It is on from the 6th to the 9th of March. I am really looking forward to making new friends and catching up with some old ones as well. Quite a few of the Queensland attendees are all on the same plane heading down south so that may be interesting. Hope we're not too noisy and get thrown off the plane!
Well that's all from me tonight. Happy Stitching till next time.
