Easter Stitching.

Hello,

With the couple of days we have over Easter I have made the most of my time. I have even done this months "Stitching Challenge" I have with Anita. This is a record for me. This month we had to make something for a male. I used some of the fabric left over from the border of my Beach quilt. I will reveal what it was at the end of the month. I made something for David, he has taken it with him today. He said it was cool so I guess I chose the right fabric. It is something he can definitely use. Actually it is very useful for either a male or female.

Ian drilled a hole for my cross stitch to hang up amongst my other cross stitch samplers in the family room. No our family room is not on a lean,just my picture taking. I am so glad I got the man to re-do it. There was such a wide bump in it that Ayers Rock could have fit under there!!!

Applique is one of my most favourite ways to keep busy. I have done the first 6 months of "Friendsheep" the "Sheep-of-the-Month" block that Paula designed. I have to do some embroidery on some of the blocks but I will do this at the end. I used my cream homespun for the blocks and raided my scrap-bag for the pieces.

I even used up some pink flannelet for Miss January. I hope to get one or two more done over the Easter break.

We have had a busy start to the break with Ainsley and Julian getting the keys to there new home. They were allowed to shift in before the settlement date. Ian and David spent yesterday morning helping them unpack and take the furniture they needed up to the rooms on the top floor. They came home very weary. Today we have been making another raised veggie bed. Hopefully the sides will go on tomorrow then I can start planting out the seedlings I bought on Thursday.

Enjoy the rest of your Easter Holiday.

Happy Easter.
