Off On Retreat!

 Mel and I are off on our yearly NOTYQ retreat at Myrniong. My car is packed. Now to pick up Mel and we'll be on our way. First stop is a cuppa so we can plan our day. 

We have both been so busy we haven't had a chance to decide where we want to go shopping!

We'll also be joining Cheryll for
Friday Night With Friends.

Bee Happy!

 You may remember this fabric from earlier this year.

 Then I gave you a little sneak peek.

Well, I made a little bee!

 To go with this baby quilt for the baby my nephew and
his wife were expecting. They weren't finding out whether they were having a boy or girl and told me they were
doing the nursery yellow and grey.

We now have a new Great Niece/Second Cousin,
Thea Alexandra.

I have to admit, I was really out of my comfort zone
working with these fabrics. All a bit too modern for me!
But I'm pleased with how it turned out.

OPAM For July

This month I have three projects for OPAM.

 My Teapot Hoop.

 Washing Day mini quilt.

 Reindeer ornament.

Thanks to Peg and Kris for 

once again keeping us inspired.

Clayton's Christmas - What I sent!

 I sent my Clayton's Christmas gift to Helen.

This is the ornament I made for her.

Keeping with a gold and white theme, I sent Helen a 

gold and white Christmas fat quarter. 

I added some Christmas tree and star buttons

and some yummy Lindt chocolate.

Thanks again to the No Fuss Swappers 

girls for this great swap.

 

A Clayton's Christmas!

 

Today was opening day for our No Fuss Swappers Clayton's Christmas Swap. We had to send four items: 

a Christmas decoration, Christmas fat quarter, 

Christmas button/s and a small treat.

 De from Re-DE-Zines sent me my gift.

 Look at the beautiful decoration she made me.

 De was very clever and made my button 

after stitching a little Christmas hat.

Isn't this the cutest fabric! I haven't seen this one before.

 My small treat is a Toblerone. Yum!

Thank you for my lovely gifts, De.

Thank you also to Sandi, Teresa, Helen and Nor 

for organising this fun swap.

I'll show you what I sent to Helen in another post.
