Middle of February....

Over the weekend I quilted The Avenue, ribbons in the background and large tear shapes in the trees, leaves around the border - and stitched a label on Tuesday...

I will get the binding hand-stitched down soon....

Special friends came for a visit ..

I have a birthday later this month and Shez made me this lovely bag... I love the look of Hexagons but they are not my favourite to sew... this is so pretty and a good size - even has hexagons on the ties!!!!

... and how adorable are these ladybug ornaments..... totally love them....

Thank you so much Shez.....

Michelle bought a bundle too.....  there is 3 fabrics there to match my others for Caswell, a lovely bag pattern from favourite designer Anni Downs, my Christmas ornie, and .....

a hand drawn card of Mrs Superb Fairy Wren......  I love Fairy Wrens and I will be finding a frame for this....

... and a special tin decorated with her Slow Stitching..... I have to show several pictures to this one 

The tin is little (3,5" by2,5") This is the top folded out.....

.... and she has made it into a needlecase (knowing I love something practical)

Both special friends - spoilt me very much ... we then went to a nearby country town for the day... for some lunch at the local pub ..... after supporting local businesses and op shops

and a look at the Art Gallery.... Shez and I are thinking deeply

... and Michelle and I are posing with the art ....

We had a lovely day which went by too fast....

I have continued with sewing the little hearts, I still have to finish off yesterdays and do todays....

I sewed up a couple of new Bondi tops ..... this one I was wearing on our day out....

.... and this one in Tilda fabric is for my day at the Tilda Jubilee tomorrow.... (I was very spoilt and gifted a ticket to this event)

So that has been my busy week ...... it is so lovely and cool today and we've had some gentle rain.... I hope you have a lovely weekend.... xx

Righto, Gotto Go...... time for a cuppa.....
