I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.

Embroidery Extra
Machine embroidery is usually a happy task for me, but I guess that is when I can design something, and stitch it for me - 14 named fleeces, two named dog towels, an a dressing gown are not as much fun!
Still they are done, and paid for so I shouldn't really complain!
And much more fun was embroidering this name for a new arrival on an iSpy quilt
My other weekend project has involved getting ready for tonight. My church hosts a number of Housegroups, and at the one I attend we have been sewing. The old (and currently abandoned) project as well as the new plan were blogged about here.
The ladies did loads of sewing at the last meeting: pick up any two HSTs and sew them together
They are now all pressed, and this week they can choose to pick up two HSTs, or pick up two squares for sewing together, any colour any direction
I am really loving how bright this will be
