Stitching Day at Stawell...

Fun day yesterday stitching with friends at this year's workshop held by Stawell Craft Shop...again we had the lovely Sharon from Lilabelle Lane come play for the day.  This year's project was Sharon's Tis The Season Christmas decorations pattern.  A rummage through the stash found some Christmassy pieces to take along and we received a kit with the stiffened felt, ribbons, bells and pattern.

Quick and easy everyone finished one, two or even three decorations...

One in the bauble shape finished before lunch (yes, you read that correctly, I not only finished something in a class I finished it before lunch!)...
Two done by the end of the day (and I left slightly early!)...not the best picture as the sun was happily streaming in the window and casting shadows...might need to add a little bling but haven't had a chance to see what is hiding in the sewing room to add yet...
My first one top right hanging out with J's and N's...not a bad day's "work"...
 
Mandy & Cheryl did a fabulous job as usual putting on the day - good venue, yummy homemade food, great tutor, lovely play friends...looking forward to next year's day already...
 
Happy Stitching...

Labrador Tote Bag...

On the weekend...well quite a few weekends ago because I completely forgot I'd started this post - oopsie!...I think I made it up either over Easter or on Anzac Day...

A panel I've had for so long I can't even remember where it came from or when...using two of the four labrador pictures for each side of the bag and one side border for the handle.  Lined (with homespun) but no batting or interfacing so totally unstructured.  Has been in use quite a few times.
I've only used half so have 2 pictures and one border left for another day...

Happy Stitching...
