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.

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.

Friday Night Sew-In

Last night I worked on the snowman of my shabby Christmas Bunting from Jenny's Stitchery Club
This is a bit of a pick up put down project.
Thanks to Wendy for hosting us for FNSI. 
You can see what the others got up to here.
