Missing...
No not me - I am still here - and still stitching Santa's figured you didn't need to see them in every colourway.
I am missing this piece terribly now that I have put the Christmas version back in the cupboard.
Around this time last year I made this spotty centre piece for the Quilting in the Round challenge and I got excited when I found out it was going to be on display at major craft shows in Australia during 2009. Now the last one was in August and I expected this piece would find its way home in September so I waited and waited... I contacted those that I left it with - no response! and again - No Response!
So now I am asking for help from those of you out in blogland - If anyone knows the whereabouts of this piece I would very much like to hear from you. And yes I did write my name and contact details on the back.
Thanks for your assistance.
I will be back soon with something finished for the OPAM challenge - I know I will because it is my brother's birthday this weekend and he put in a request. Best get sewing.
Hope you all have time for some creative activities this week.
Happy Crafting

Stitching and the day job
As I thought my work has begun for the year, I got a call Monday morning and worked two days in a row, a bit of a shock after two months. All this day job stuff gets in the way of crafty fun.
Yesterday I recieved notification that my entry in the 'Think outside the square - quilting with circles' competition is to be part of the Living Creatively display at the coming Stitches and Craft Show. You could say I am excited!
This week I started stitching this lovely design by Bronwyn Hayes of Red Brolly, which appears as an applique in Australian Homespun Magazine. It is part of a bigger project, I am not being that ambitious at present and thinking that I may just do this one. I chose to just do stitchery and not applique, so will wait and see how it comes out. The thread colours are all purples and the background fabric is a pale tan colour. I have some civil war fabrics in purple and tan tones which I am thinking will complement it to make a bigger project. Just playing with ideas at the moment and enjoying hand stitching in between the working stuff.
