What is Aussie and black and white?

Hello,

Well I have managed to get the Black and White Stitching Challenge I have with Anita each month finished. I decided to do some machine embroidery in black thread. I chose to do some Australian designs by Glenn Harris I made six place mats,it was very hard choosing which designs to choose.The designs in the first two place mats are of an old farmhouse and a miners cottage.

These two are a petrol station and church and graveyard.

Another church and surrounds and the Royal Hotel. You can click on the photo's to see them a bit better. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this months challenge. February's stitching challenge subject is "Hearts". I wonder what we will both come up with.

I got a phone call the other day from Chris to say that her parcel of goodies had arrived.This is the table runner I made with the rest of the batik material. It fits her table just fine.

Please check out the Grow Your Own posting. There were a record 61 entries. Lots of lovely recipes all made from items which have been grown by the bloggers.It has been lovely having temperatures in the high 20's. I had all the windows and doors open yesterday catching the breeze. Just the right temperature to do some stitching.

Happy days.
