Goodbye Wall Hanging

Hip hip hooray! I have finished the wall hanging that my dear mother-in-law asked me to make for her church. It may not be my cup of tea but I'm rather pleased with how it turned out.

I hope she likes it, but not so much that she asks for another one!!
Hope you get a chance to do a little mid-week stitching.

Wall hanging

I am really not enjoying this project very much. But as it is a special request I am working away at it to get it finished, so I can get back to my my own sewing. I think I need to do Cardygirls colour workshop, but this is what I've come up with. Now just doing some buttonhole around the leaves. The colours are more vivid than the photo shows, and I think the black border will frame it nicely when finished.

It is a beautiful, wet Australia Day here. We had planned on bushwalking but everyone is happily occupied, including me about to do some stitching!

Plodding along

I have been quietly working away on my hand quilting - making the most of the cool weather. I wish I could hand quilt faster.

And when it's warmer, appliqueing my petals. I forgot the little round centres, so need to go back and do those.

I also have an unusual new project commissioned by my mother in law. She is a very lovely lady so even though it's really not my thing, I couldn't say no when she asked me to turn this picture into a banner for her church. We were married in the church so there is a connection. I'm off to Spotlight tomorrow to see what I can find (lots of vliesofix i think!).

Lots of emails buzzing around about GDITC - so, so exciting (only 66 more sleeps).

Happy, happy tonight, hubby is cooking dinner!
