My Favorite Things BOM ! Blocks 2 & 3

These 2 Blocks represent my love of gardening! I hope you like them!

A few have ask asked about sizes of the finished blocks, I am still playing with the final product, but I am currently leaning towards a bag! I'll let you know when I have the final layout done!

Thank you for all your lovely comments.

Block 1 ~ My Favourite Things ~ B.O.M.

This is the first of a series of ten redwork stitcheries.

The theme is My Favourite Things.

This first block shows the things I love in my life, the garden, sewing, music, cooking, and a cup of tea with loved.

Each block will show a little bit of me.

The patterns aren't flashy, but they are there for you to play with and use, and please bear with me as I learn more about making patterns, and publishing them.

This is the link to Block 1.

On Top of the World, Looking down on Creation

There is only one wish on my mind

When this day is through I hope that I will find

That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me

All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

R Carpenter.

Whats happening with my BOM

"A few of my favourite Things" BOM, is well underway, I have the stitcheries done, now I have to put the block together, then I'll be ready to go, hopefully before the end of the month.

Here is a sneak preview of the stitcheries!

Basket of Goodies!

Heres some great fabric I've collected and been given lately. Now just to start the projects!

And some beautiful new books full of great project!

A stitchers dirty little secret!

Come on Girls.

Let take pride in the dirty secret that lies behind the beauty!

Lets see the backs of those panels, they can't be any worse then mine!

Even out of focus it looks bad!

Disco Stu

This is our new chicken/rooster, the boys named him "Disco Stu", my husband and a few of his friend then dyed he green, why, I don't know!

BOM Project planning

Ok, today I had to suffer (ha ha) through a visit to Marally Craft (http://www.marallycraft.com.au). I picked out some lovely fabric to base my BOM around and got a shiny new art book.

So now to put my thoughts and sketches together, and put some instructions to it all.

Here's a sneek peak at the fabric, isn't it pretty.

Aren't I spoilt!

Aren't I spoilt! I received a pretty stitchery bookmark, from the wonderful Ondrea for the craft forum, in th bookmark swap, she was very paitent with we as I posted mine late!

Thank you it is so me!
