Pic of UFO

Just another UFO to show, my friend started this one then did not like it, I did so she said I may as well have it to do ,Thanks Chris. Sorry The lighting on this pic is not the best.

Not A Happy Camper

Why is it that you can piece a quilt, start hand quilting it then when you put it on your blog for the world to see that's when you see your GREAT BIG BLUE ??
I can see some reverse stitching being done.

UFOs I'll only bore you with one today

I thought I'd show a couple of UFOs but I think I'll keep the other one for another day's post.

I have chosen to show the flower one first it's called" Cottage Flowers Quilt" byAmberwood Country Craft put out by Threads Of Time. The size was 123cm-155cm I did three of some blocks and two of others to increase it to the size to fit my bed.

We have the name for our sewing group

We have the name for our wee sewing group.
If Judith of Studio 10 could contact me with her snail mail address we can get the gift sent out.
Thankyou to all the girls who sent in group names.
Hugs and happy stitching

Who over slept

What a great start to the day I over slept, (whats new) cant sleep at night then over sleep in the morning I was supposed to be going to church in wynyard now it will have to be tonight.
Well I have decided it's time to get strict with myself yet again, I have stitcheries finished and waiting to be put together into quilt tops and it's just not been happening so no more stitcheries till all these ones are together, WELL maybe just the new Gail Pan one just to have in my bag for when I have to wait, wait and wait some more LOL

Sewing Group Name ??? Giveaway

Hi Girls,
As many of you know from my OLD blog I belong to a wee group of six ladies who meet together at one of our homes to sew, we are thinking we should have a name for our group and would like to ask all of you ladies for name ideas.We will make Tuesday the 21st our closing date.
We will have a homemade sewing giveaway for the person who comes up with the name the girls choose.
Have a great day/week
Hugs

Catch Up

I have had a really nice time doing lots of hand stitching from a few of the many projects I have started but not finished yet, sorry no pics yet but will get some ASAP of some of my stitching.

I have also been doing some of the thread holders on Blog Land and one of those cute little baskets.

The little guy in the pic is my new puppy he thinks he's my boss and has to check out all my stitching he especially dislikes anything with vilene type backing those must be chewed up and disposed of LOL .

Stay safe and happy stitching

Isabella

Anyone know what's going on here??

Hi Anybody know whats going on here I have tried to get on to my blog via a Google search but it does not come up.
The only way I can get on is via my favorites any help would be great thanks.
Happy Stitching

Lets try again

Well I dont know what happened, Blogger wont accept my password for my last blog, I have had to add No2 to the end of my blog name and start again.
Last week I ordered some fabric from "Calico Crossroads" at Exeter Imagin my surprise when it arrived the very next day.
I have been making those lovely little thread holders from "The Stitching Room" to add to small gifts for the girls at our wee stitching group.
I will add photo's when I find my way around flicker if I ever do. LOl
Well stay safe & happy stitching
