Dolley ...one down several to go

Nice day here today ...........finished one of the project's from Inspired Stitches Weekend in Adelaide several weekend's ago..............a lovely Dolley from an Leanne Beasley creation

unfortunately the colours have not come up to good in the photos

Nice Mum Day ........

Mothers Day here started with DH making breakfast.....I made some Brownies... knowing that during the day ES and Partner will be calling in during the day.

YS works in the hospitality trade so he was a work most of the day .....but before he went I received a lovely big hug and a few DVD's as I enjoy having a DVD (movie) going in the background while quilting.

Spent a couple of hours in my quilt room being creative with some fabric I purchased several months ago at Jane's before ES and partner arrived where we had brownies and hot chocolate together for afternoon tea.

Received a lovely voucher from them to spent in a local garden/gift store.

Show and tell of the progress ...after ES and Partner left could not get my mo jo back to continue.... so spent the evening working on a stitchery from the Inspired Stitches weekend in Adelaide a couple of weekends ago and watched Masterchef.

Bit late but I hope all Mums had a great day .

Hope to get back to the quilt top now???????

Redwork Swap

I have been away for away and Look what I have received in the post from Jillian (no Blog) .....while I was away .... a few months ago I joined Maree's "Redwork Cushion Swap"

Jillian's workmanship is exceptional....thank you so much for all my wonderful goodies .....

Maree congratulations on running such a wonderful swap.......

DH and I have had a fab week away

OOPS..... nearly forgot I sent my Redwork project to Julie so pop over to her blog ..........as I have misplaced (that's my excuse) my photo's and checked out the items I made in the Redwork Cushion Swap

A small description ...........a lap work cushion ...it has two front panels you open up while on your lap and inside pockets to store your scissors, needle etc while working on a stitchery.
