I have been spending time with family and friends over the past few weeks, but I nearly always have something in my hands to work on. Thought I'd share a few photos.

Beret for an order |
|
Inside so you can see the pattern and the effect on the rim. |

Scarflet to match ~ these are now in Chamonix skiing with their owner! |
|
Building the Eiffel Tower! |
Last week I had a 2 hour session with the local Janome dealer, learning how to use the Janome MC350E which school bought last year. Apparently sewing will be a part of my teaching load this year - once we come back from overseas in Term 2 - provided that there are enough students in Grades 7 and 8 who want to learn. Thought I would take advantage of the holidays to borrow the machine and I have had a ball!

My friend Jeannie and I catch up for coffee when we get a chance - this was on the apron I decorated for her birthday......... |
|
I embroidered this delightful little cupcake on the pocket! |
Last Friday,
Christine and I travelled to
Sarah's via
Calico Crossroads, for a stitching day. Here are some pics of what we made..................
|
Christine had completed one little purse earlier and had 2 more stitcheries ready to attach to the purse outside. |
|
Sarah chose a printed fabric for hers. |
|
Here's the inside of mine - was quite fiddley to attach the lining. |
|
One side attatched to the zip - fabric range is Blush by Moda |
|
The finished purse ~ resting on my new ironing board cover - used this tutorial |
I am working on my FIS blocks at the moment as well as some knitting - pics to follow shortly!

Lovely bag you made at Sarah's; so nice to have a day stitching with the girls.
Beautiful knitting, and lovely stitchery on the machine!
How many blocks have you got to go with FIS BOM? I have plans to work on mine in the next week.
