More catching up!

Whilst I was away we celebrated my Mother's 90th birthday! This picture shows four generations of our family having
lunch.







This lovely kit came my way over Christmas - I am looking forward to making it up.




Another kit I am looking forward to working on is this scissor fob which I purchased along with the scissors with some of my Christmas money.


Sue Hawkins has such gorgeous kits it's difficult to choose which to buy!

Well now it is time to get down to some New Year sewing. The RSC colour for this month is red and I need to decide on what I am going to make this year. Plus I have a mystery block to complete ready for next week when my little patchwork group meet. Itching to get back to my 1797 hexies too.

Happy stitching everyone.

  11. What a beautiful day it was to celebrate your mother's 90th birthday. Makes me happy to hear that 4 generations were able to also attend! Your scissor fob is going to be gorgeous. You'll always remember the money-gift-giver when you use those scissors now -- which I would hope will be often.
