FIS Swap - Gifts Received

Our online group 'Advent Swap' saw me receive these lovely goodies from Tracy (minus the chocolates....they didn't last long enough for a pic!).  I was very pleased with my gifts, particularly the Frilly Dilly Bag as I've fancied one for a long time & hadn't gotten around to making myself one. Thankyou again Tracy!!

Cheers.....Jane.

Market

It's our local community market this weekend, and these are some of the items I've been working on.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers....Jane.

Floral Abundance

It's very heart warming to see all the flowers in full bloom at the moment....so I decided to give blogger another go....(posting isn't worth it if they don't appear anywhere else)...so here goes!

This little bush I call 'Little May'

Couldn't resist taking a pic of this cheeky fellow.

I believe he is a New Holland Honey-eater.

This Leucadendron is interesting that it comes out quite a vibrant orange, then changes colour to a much darker red.

'Iceberg' rose.

'Double Delight'.

'Buff Beauty' reaching for the sky.

Free motion quilting on TTS quilt.

Had to leave the quilt hanging....you know for the important kid stuff, like watching master 14 tie a fishing knot!!

This was the aaahhhh moment....all finished!! A fantastic stitch-a-long!

And lastly some gifts for netball coaches....coasters & lollies!
Enjoy your Sunday!
Cheers....Jane.

Gallery in Red

After enjoying a few days of warmer weather today it's returned to being cooler and windy, making it tricky to take pics outside. I did manage to get these couple before my table topper blew away. I'm supposed to be sewing other things, but being a 'gypsy sewer' I tend to craft whatever takes my interest at the time. I loved this fabric panel (Gallery in Red) as soon as I saw it & had this in mind before I left the store.....so I did 'strike whilst the iron is hot' and got busy.....I think a set of coasters may be in order, then it'll all be ready for Christmas!

Happy crafting all!

Cheers....Jane.

Market

Some weekend sewing......hanging towels....requested at the local markets I attend once a month.

Cheers.....Jane.
