The Creative Post

Well where to begin, so let's start at the begining.....finished the first little stitchery in the Gardeners Journal quilt and chose some fabrics - this is the one I am working on with the girls over at the stitch-a-long blog Then here are a few more finished stitches - finding the pattern a challenge at times, but really loving all this needlework, in my Red Brolly Gingham Girls Quilt, that I am working on with my Mum, Sister and Di. We are all working it in different colours and I will have to share photos of the finished works when we are all done.

That little lady is my current stitching project, I am so loving how she is coming together, still some more work on her skirt and then i get to start on Brutus the cat, too cute.

Then it was on to the sewing Machine, I worked on one of my little zipper pouches - this one is for my God Daughter's Birthday.

Then I got to and worked on a couple Etsy Store items, so these are going up as soon as I finish this post.

My Ruffled Zippered Bag with 3D Flower brooch, in this stunning fabric, with a maroon spot ruffle and a teal blue lining.

Then to match it another little zippered pouch - perfect for sunglasses, or lipstick you get to choose.

See I said I was super busy and had a very productive few days.....off to post those goodies in the Etsy Store.

Easter Stitching....

Happily stitching this easter, here is the ones I have done so far on my Gingham Girls Quilt by Bronwyn Hayes

Each of the 12 blocks have a few pieces to them and I counted a total of 35 pieces that I will have to do by hand before stitching them all together....

so here is Block 1 part 2 - 2 needle turned applique hearts, well I am loving the mini iron I borrowed till I can get mine own....it really makes a difference using that freezer paper method - so much tidier than my clumsy house iron. Block 1 part 3 - these gorgous cupcakes....I love them - I can almost taste that vanilla sponge.....with raspberries....well that's what I was imagining whilst stitching...Block 2 part 1 - three little hearts...well only one is stitched so can't claim it's finished, but that mini iron had to go back home...so now i need to shop for one.

Block 2 part 2 - my little chai girl is all complete...isn't she sweet.

Block 3 part 1 and 2 - oh aren't these little handbags divine....just waiting for their pearls to be completed....

Block 4 Part 2 - what girl doesn't enjoy a shoe sale.....and it's a mixed media block, and it's coming together nicely. I love how as you stitch each girl comes to life.....I have done the hair on 2 of the girls since taking this picture yesterday....oh so pretty they are. Block 4 part 3 - just pretty!!!

As for my Garden Quilt well I have finished one stitchery - the potting shed...but sorry no photograph...
