Quilting Owl

Recently the Sunday Stitchers were visited by Jenny's relative from New Zealand and she brought along this lovely quilt to share with us which won a ribbon in her stitching Guild's challenge. Gillian's Challenge Quilt This is the fabric selected for the challenge which needed to be included in the quilt and I think you will agree that Gillian was very creative in how she incorporated this lovely print.   Gillian came bearing gifts and gave each member of the Sunday Stitchers a lovely ring pin cushion and for me a special pin cushion with a New Zealand theme.  A great addition to my pin cushion collection which will be treasured.     Thank you for all the lovely comments and good wishes for my recovery and I hope to be back at the sewing machine very soon.   Till next time Frances

I just thought I would let you know that I am still around and recovering nicely from my operation about a month ago.  I have had a lot of problems sitting at the computer and sewing machine so have fallen way behind with everything but hopefully I will catch up soon.   Some time ago we were given some bulbs from one of the Sunday Stitchers, Thora, and look at the wonderful Hippeastrums that have now bloomed.  Such a wonderful rich colour and they are giving us much enjoyment when we sit in the courtyard.   Blogger is not letting me upload more photos at the moment so I will be back soon.   Till next time Frances
