From one thing to another ......

With this week being one that has had my mind scattered and all over the place, so has my creativity.

I have been doing little bits on what seems like a lot of things.

I found myself at my cutting table and in total I think I have managed to cut 13, yes 13 blocks for my Farmer's Wife quilt. I don't even want to think about how many small triangles are in those 13 blocks!  I have not taken them to the sewing machine as I feel that they need more of my attention and concentration than I can give them at the moment.

I have also done a little bit of stitching on a Christmas project, hopefully more on that soon.
I am also nearing the completion line on block 2/3 of my Vignette Mystery Quilt.

I have had Journal Covers on my to do list for quite some time and this week it seemed like the thing to do.
I love the way they look with Ruby.  Just need to do one for me in my new favourite - HOMETOWN :o)



I used the tutorial over here at BLOOM and have started making some to put away for Xmas and birthday presents.  My favourite so far it this one for my nephew. I can't wait to see his little drawings inside. Miss Lily is getting one for her notebook also and Miss K has one to!



Today my postie was very kind with delivering a few parcels and thus adding to my ever growing stash :o)

Happy stitching,

Charming Christmas Fabric Swap

I am always thinking about adding to my stash and with Christmas fast approaching my mind has turned to  Christmas fabric. Then I saw that Angie over at Summerfield Quilts is hosting a Christmas Fabric Charm Swap.

I'M IN ......... are you?



Pop over to Angie's blog and check it out.

I am looking forward to hitting my local Patchwork shops next week (its Saturday afternoon here at the moment and they are all closed otherwise I would be probably be there now) and seeing what fabrics I can find to share with everyone. 

There will be 56 of us and when it is all done we will have 112 5" Charm Squares to assist us in our Christmas creativity.

OK this in now two post in one day so I am  now off to do some sewing whilst miss Lily is down for her afternoon nap, the guys are watching the Football on the TV and Miss K is in the kitchen making afternoon Tea ............  Choc Chip Muffins ..... yum yum 

Enjoy your creativity,

Sharon
