I stitched along with my friends across the ocean last night for FNWF's hosted by
Cheryll , thanks Cheryll , it is always fun to have others to sew along with . So what did I do you ask , well I hand stitched down the binding on a table topper I just finished , I like to save those jobs for the evening while I sit and relax in my comfy chair . As I look at this I may go back and do a little more quilting :-)
This is a pattern from a Fons and Porter magazine a couple of years back , a special Christmas edition . Now from that same comfy chair a few nights before I finished this cute little ornament which is the OOM for November from a FB wool applique group, thanks to Trish for the cute ornaments each month .
I have had great response on the Postcard exchange and need a couple of addresses before I can send out names, I will start the process though as it may take me a while but if you haven't heard from me by Monday please email me and let me know , I don't want to miss anyone . Still time to join in but will cut that off before Monday , thanks .
Thanks for stopping by today , hope you are doing something fun .
hugs Sheila
Love your table centre Sheila! Looking forward to participating in my first postcard swap. I made my card last night.... it was such a lot of fun.... I can see what you mean about them being addictive!! Have a lovely weekend! Christine x
ReplyDeleteLove the table round! The colors and design are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Sheila! You'll have to explain to me how FNWF works. I'm usually to exhausted in the evenings to sit quietly and stitch. I've been hitting the hay early, and no hand work has been getting done. What a woos I've become! Sweet ornament! I love handmade ornaments the best! Was in your neck of the woods again today. A "quick trip to NG" takes all day! Needless to say, the only sewing accomplished today was during the early morning hours before we hit the road! But my "to go" afghan is growing leaps and bounds!
ReplyDeleteWonderful table topper! And adorable ornament! I too am working on preparing for Christmas. I like to be able to kick back and enjoy the month of December. Oops, I'm one who failed to get all the info to you for the postcard swap. Off to do that now.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!!! I really like that topper
ReplyDeleteCute little table topper. So nice to relax with handsewing. Love the gingerbread boy too. I was working on my postcard today. I am not super happy with it so I may try another one.
ReplyDeleteThe table topper is sweet. I love the shape. The ornament is adorable, too. I'm so glad you're getting such a great response on your postcard swap.
ReplyDeleteI love your topper...beautiful! And of course the gingie is super cute too x

Really cute topper. I love the little wool ornament too!
ReplyDeleteYour table topper is just lovely. I can relate, I much prefer to sew anything that can be made while sitting in a comfortable chair.
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas items! I like to sit and hand stitch in the evening too - except I am often much too tired. Boo. I will be in Nova Scotia (Great Village) next week. Just for two days at my hubby's cousin's place.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila ,wow i love the candle mat i have that pattern too and now i want to make it after seeing yours,lovely xmas decoration too xx
