Winnings

Here I am again, but this time it is not to show something I have made, but to show the beautiful quilt that I won from a raffle at a "Biggest Morning Tea". It was donated to the cause by a member of the Quilting Guild of which I am a member. This is the first item I have won for quite a number of years.

It isn't a very good photo, but I will put a better one on later

Cheers

Help needed urgently!

I am finally back from an extended beak from serious computing, and I need a little bit of assistance from anyone out there who does tapesty, and knows how to clean it. I have 4 small famed tapestries, which were made by one of my sisters, for another of my sisters, and they need cleaning. I don't want to take them out of the frames, cos then they would need to be reframed. The receiving sister is now deceased, and her daughter inherited them, and wants to return them to her aunt as a 60th birthday present - she did want me to reframe them as well, but each tapestry is stitched onto the backing, then famed, so I am not happy to do that - but they do need to be cleaned - is there an easy and quick way to do this?

Any information regarding this will be gratefully accepted.

Sewing mat challenge.

Whew, I made it. Not quite the mat that I wanted to present, but it does the job and the butterflies will make me feel extra wonderful when I am sewing.

This is an interim sewing mat, as I was fast running out of time to finish the challenge, so threw together this very basic mat. I am continuing to work on the mat that I want (it has a few little embellishments included), but this one was made so that I could complete the challenge.

There are just too many birthdays etc in the next few months, combined with Christmas and work (really gets in the way of sewing), I need another 6 hours each day, at least. Unfortunately, this will be the last challenge for me, until after February. All b'days complete until the last 4 months of the year, so now I will be concentrating on the gifts for my daughters and grand daughters.

Gifts for kids

So here I am again with some more of my projects finished.  I didn't think they were going to work out very well, but I quite like them. The dress and bloomer sets are from Amy Butler's "Little stitches for little one's" and the bag is from "Mellie & Me"  The mum's of the little one's think the dress sets are very cute, and I am hoping Miss 8 likes her gift.

That's all for this session, now onto another project or three.

Well here I am again, with another give away entered. There is another one at 
  http://bittybitsandpieces.blogspot.com/    to check out. So go for it people.

3.30 am:- no projects to pin, no room to cut out other projects and the eyes aren't seeing clearly enough to complete stitching projects, so I shall return to bed, hopefully to get some sleep before returning to work at 7.00 am. So that will be good night from me, I hope everybody is having a great sleep. :o
