Friday Night With Friends

I had a lovely time stitching along with everyone last night. My original plan was to cut out borders for those stitcheries I finished in Sydney. 

But I decided I just wanted to sit and stitch!

I pulled out this lovely book I got for Christmas.

 Traced out the stitchery and made a good start on it.

 I finished it off this morning sitting in the car while 

Nelson was umpiring a football match.

Thanks to Chez for being a wonderful hostess.

I'm linking this with Sharon (Vrooman's Quilts)

FHFS Hexagon Swap

 

 It's time for our first Friends Having Fun Swaps swap of the year. This one was Hexagons (or any EPP). The person I was making for was Ondrea of "O" Sew Crafty.

 I made this project folder using purple fabrics. I know that purple is one of Ondrea's favourite colours.

I even found some purple scissors to add into the folder. There was also some DMC threads, a FQ of purple 

Civil War fabric and some needles.

Using three hexagons, I made a pocket for the scissors to sit in. The ribbon is to make sure they don't slip out.

 You can never have too many pin cushions. 

I made this like the one I finished recently
after being a twenty year old UFO!

Of course, I also added some chocolate. 

Thanks to Shez and Peg for organising our
Friends Having Fun Swaps.

Now to wait patiently for my parcel to arrive!

A Couple of Wall Hangings To Show You

When I was up in Sydney, I got to see these two wall hangings I made ten and eight years ago. 

This was before I was blogging and we had a digital camera. These photos are much better than the original ones I have.

 

I made this Kimono wall hanging for Neville for his 40th birthday. I bought a kit as I don't use Japanese fabrics.

Then with the left overs I made this one with the 

Geisha Girls for another gift..

 I used bamboo as the hangers.
