A Snowman, A Quilt and some Flowers

I;m a bit late with this one but here is my April SAL piece. I;ve started to make it into a long pillow which hopefully will be stuffed and finished in a few days. We have decided to swap over from Christmas too Halloween for the next few months. Elaine has a lovely new black tree she needs to fill and I have a very limited amount off Halloween items that I want to add to. We are starting off with LK Spooky Patch. It;s a nice small design so hopefully I should manage to finish this one on time.

I forgot to show these in my last post. Way back in March my kids gave me some stash money for Mothers Day. While browsing I came across this great store on Etsy. I;m always a bit anxious when I order from the States but my lovely charts were here in jig time. Paula is a lovely lady and has a wonderful selection off goodies. http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCrossIBare Go on, take a look you know you want too..lol.

The Summer Tea-party/Picnic Exchange that I am organising is now up and running. The response was wonderful and there are 27 people taking part. I;m still scratching my head figuring out what I am going to stitch but I can;t wait to see what everyone else is going to come up with.

This is my Mum;s first attempt at a Jellyroll quilt, doesn;t it look fab. She made this quilt for my Dad in his favourite football colours, red, black and white. Dad says it;s the best quilt she has ever made but each off the family members who have a quilt made by Mum think theres is the best too.

Well typically for Scotland our lovely spell off dry, sunny weather seems to have past. It;s done nothing but rain every day for about the past ten days now. As you can see the only ones enjoying it are the plants in my garden. Now don;t be greedy girls I know there will be some out there basking in the sun, please share it with the rest of us..lol.

Well that is my ramblings for today. I hope everyone has a good week. Happy Stitching!
