Zoom Stitching With Friends

  

I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday

 zoom stitching organised by Chooky Blue. 

There were girls from Australia, New Zealand, 

Germany, UK, USA and Canada. 

I finished the embroidery on my banner but have run out of my 

glue pen so put this away to work on my hexagons.

I worked on my Tilda hexagon quilt whilst chatting with everyone. 

The time just goes so fast.

Thank you Donna for a lovely afternoon. 

I'm looking forward to our next one.

Before I go, thought I'd share these photos from Christmas Day. 

I finally got a photo of the boys with their girls all together. 

Mitchell and Steph, Austin and Paris and Nelson and Jemma.

One with Nana.

We then tried the timer thingy on my phone and got one of all of us!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day. We certainly did.

Zooming Stitching!

Yesterday I spent the day, as in over 8 hours, stitching along while 

zooming with girls from Australia and America. 

Donna from Chookyblue was the organiser and it was lovely 

to be able to talk to her. You get to make friends through blogging 

but never get to actually meet them in person.

We have known each other through blogging for many years. 

 Anorina from Samelia's Mum and Ondrea from Crafty O 

were also there and again, I've never spoken to them before, 

just through the keyboard.

 

I also got to catch up with Sue from Kiwikids Page, 

Annette from Jindi's Cottage, Jo from ButterZ, 

Cheryll from Gone Stitchin' and Marina from Maisie and the Boys, 

all of whom I haven't seen in a very long time. 

Hope I haven't missed anyone. 

I also got to make some new friends.

  

What did I stitch while chatting? 

First up, I added the extra half doily to 

my Lillian Elizabeth's Kitchen quilt. 

This seemed to balance it out better. I also quilted the final block.

 

Just the binding to go on now. 

I am so happy with how this quilt has turned out.

I also did a little stitching. 

Finished the pin cushion block and started the house. 

Plus I finished adding another row to my hexagon quilt.

I had a fabulous day. The 8 hours went by so quickly. 

I'm already looking forward to the next zoom stitching day. 

Thanks again, Donna.
