my Initial Swap gift.
I'm incorporating this delightful free stitchery from lovely Michelle of Rag Tag Stitchin into my gift.
(Of course I was sneaky and covered the initial for the picture.)
I traced it out yesterday and had a stitching afternoon inside away from Melbourne's horrible hot windy weather. In fact, as I was a bit tired, I sat in my comfy bed propped up on a pile of pillows (luckily the room is airconditioned) and watched good old Inspector Frost solve a couple of crimes. I sipped cold drinks, ate a few Quality Street and generally had a wonderful time. Thanks to Michelle for the sweet little angel and to Cheryl for organising the fun swap.
A great one today. I'm a big fan of Anna Maria Horner. I think so is so talented and she is also very generous with what she shares with us all. Check out her MAKE page. I particularly love this quilt
and yes there is a brilliant tutorial.
Sounds like a good way to spend time Melody. Michelles angel design is very sweet. Sharyn:)
