Christmas in July

Yesterday we got to open our Christmas in July gifts from our secret partner
I was very spoilt by Sue from suesplace in the sun blog

Love this Christmas tree I have always admired these and now have my very own

Cute wall hanging

And this very clever reversible apron I will look very swish on Christmas day

Also included was this very cute button tree

Loved all my gifts

Thankyou Sue and a special thanks again to the lovely Cheryll for organizing this fun swap

Last night I joined Wendy and friends for a night Of stitching fun

 I traced some stitcheries which I plan to take with me when I go away for six days at the end of the month

Going on a bus trip with two of my Patch work group friends

A country music weekend but Iam sure we will be doing some stitching

 I also completed another block for my Lasting Legacy quilt, which is a block of the month in Patchwork and quilting magazine

Iam a little behind, but will get there

Thanks Wendy for hosting once again

Some quilting done on scrappy quilt for FNWF

Last night when I joined with Cheryll and friends I got some quilting done on this scrappy quilt

This year is my year to use nothing but fabric from my stash

Have pretty much succeeded ( well apart from a little purchase early in the year of some REALLY cheap fabric at the Op shop. So that doesn't count Right? )

I seem to have a collection of farming related fabric so into this quilt they went along with some orphan blocks and a couple of recently completed tractor stitcheries

Very happy with the result

Just home from footy

It was FEEZING

I wore tights under my jeans , but only one pair of socks Little toesys are freezing

Footy isn't so bad because you can sit in the car and watch, but netball is another story

Best go heat my toes by the fire
