Here is another sneak look at what I have been up to.....of course I can't show all of it yet as it is for a workshop at Candleberry Country  in September.....I am sooo excited to be going....I am sure it will be great!!!

I have another new pattern this week also

remember this....from Foothills Christmas in July......it is now ready to go off to the shops...hooray!!

  The name of this pattern is "send a little Christmas wish" and it is a Christmas card folder to hold all of those cards you have been meaning to send...also pockets for stamps, pen, address book..etc..

I have included a bonus stitchery so that you can make a stitchery folder as well......these make great presents!!!

Rawson weekend

Had a fantastic time at the Pakenham Patchworkers Annual Retreat at Rawson with my friends Ramona, Sue and Lee. It was a tiny weeny bit cold outside but nice and warm inside. Lots of stitching and catching up and the odd packet of lollies!!!!

that's all for now

Correction

Sorry about this girls but it has been brought to my attention  that there is a mistake in the reqs for Latte Blossom, the border fabric needs to be 75cm not 60cm...this is mainly for all you girls who participated in Cyber stitching........sincere apologies if this has affected you.....must have been one of those days.

sorry!!
