FNSI September

I see that my last post was FNSI for August! Since then I have had a couple of trips to UK to be with Mum and Dad who are both in hospital at the moment - rehab ward so hopefully not for long.

Many thanks to Wendy for hosting our get together.

We had a wet day yesterday - the first for a while - so I made an early start in the afternoon working on some crazy patchwork. Only a sneaky peek as it is for a competition!

Then in the evening I added the last few stitches to this Lilipopo Attitude Fairy

She is now ready to be made up into a bookmark for my gift box.

Then for some straightforward, not too much concentration sewing I pulled out my hexie tablecloth and added some more yellow hexagons.

 

After a misty start the sun is back with us and it is a beautiful afternoon. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Christmas Through the Year update

Linking up with Anthea at Hibiscus Stitches for CTTY again

I am pleased to say that my Gardener Girl is complete and has been put away safely until Christmas. Here she is.

A close up of the embroidery.

I enjoyed working on this design which came from Lilipopo

Also linking up with Super Mom no Cape Stitchery Link Party.

Back tomorrow with some EPP - see you soon

Also linking up with Needlework Tuesday at Books and Quilts - thank you Heather. 

Christmas Through The Year

Thank you Anthea for hosting this link up for our Christmas makes. Go to Anthea's blog here to see what everyone else is making - and to get some ideas for your own Christmas stash!

I am also linking up with Super Mom - No Cape and her Stitchery Link Party.

After FNSI I showed you this little peek of a stitchery that I am working on.

I fell in love with this design as I watched it being stitched on Instagram by designer LiliPopo so as soon as she released the pattern I had to have it! It's called The Flower Gardener. Isn't she sweet!

Sorry for the poor picture - she needs pressing which of course I can not do until I have removed the blue pen lines. I am really enjoying working on this. You can find the pattern in LiliPopo's Etsy Shop along with lots of other delightful designs and some preprinted panels.

Hope you have a super stitchy week.
