Progress & Peeks

At the end of last month Marg Low had a little giveaway on her blog for one of her Christmas patterns. I was blessed to be the winner. Her envelope arrived in today's mail.
Tied up with a pretty red and white checked ribbon.







A Celebration ,which is a pattern for a cute Christmas bunting, plus Tis the Season for Giving pattern, a lovely Christmas stitchery design for the front of a note book. I don't think I'll have time to get them stitched up in time for this Christmas, but certainly plenty of time for next years celebrations.
I've been busy in the workshop/sewing room getting parcels ready to mail for secret swaps, and spending my evenings either stitching down applique or getting embroidery ready to stitch into the final creation.
Here's a little peek at the embroidery.

I hope you are finding the time in your day to put a needle and thread to fabric and watch it come to life.

Happy Stitching.

Very pretty stitchery!! Love your work, as usual. And yes, I am finding time today to put needle and thread to fabric. I am binding a quilt for a gift.
