Latest Project! Chalkboard Clip boards.

These are my lastest adictive projects, I found them on Little Birdie Secrets, they were using scrapping cards, where as I used fabric! One is for my Dad to use for his puzzles, one for my neice (the Pink One) and the other two are for my boys for travelling. The little bags have chalk, pens & a duster in them. All the kids are going to get them for Christmas this year!

If you send me a picture of how you used the stitcheries, I will go into the draw for a bag of sewing goodies! Send all pictures to rodgersfamily1@bigpond.com, to go into the draw, I will be drawing it on the 20th September 2010. I would love to see how the patterns are being used.

Craft Forum ~ Designer Swap ~ Part 2

This is the table runner I made for Kim in the Designer Swap on http://forum.craftmagazines.com.au/. The Stitchery is from "Miss Milly Flower Patch" book by Bronwyn Hayes. I fell in love with the Fabric and made some matching coasters.

It was hard to part with.

(sorry its in 2 parts but I couldn't get a photo with the stitcheries in it any other way)

Craft Forum ~ Designer Swap.

On the wonderful craft forum we had a "Designer Swap", the patterns had to come from either Leanne Beasley & Bronwyn Hayes. Both are talented designers, and are worth having a look at. I chose Bronwyn Hayes as I had a book I patterns I got when I was in Adelaide this time last year, that I was keen to use. I can't show you a picture of what I made just yet as Kim, is waiting for it to arrive in the post, but I am very proud of it.


Missnance (Gail) from http://missnance.blogspot.com/ made me this beautiful bag it has stitcheries on it and is full of pockets. The colours are great for these cold and dreary days! I cannot thank her enough for it, I LOVE IT!!!!

My favourite Things BOM Block 8

This months block is that of HOME, I wish my house looked like this one, and was somewhere in rural France or Italy, but my house is just an old Police Station in rural NSW, Australia.

I hope you are enjoying and using these patterns, a few have ask about a final product that is made out of them, but unfortunately or fortunately, I am sewing as we go along as well. I have used the blocks for the stitcheries on gifts, so I am hoping you can just keep them in a file somewhere and use them as you like, there is no copyright on them so go crazy, please send me any photos of what you have made out of them. I will be posting some mandala in the next few weeks, I hope you enjoy them, I really love sewing them in varigated thread.
