Have finished machine embroidering towels for Xmas presents though I do have an idea in my mind for something else if I get time.

Xmas Gifts

Another Xmas present done, nearly there now

Is it Santa!!!!

Himself thought he looked like Santa, I think he looks more like 'Hiawatha' !!

Christmas is approaching

We have spent the morning doing the Christmas Tree and all other things that come with this festive season, all I can say now is bring it on!! and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends out there.

Christmas is approaching

Went to Olney Xmas Market today, it was very good, much better than a very well known one we went to last year, so having been there today I now realise christmas is fast approaching so when I came home thought I had better make something for the day, HO HO HO

with all the cold weather we have had over the last couple of weeks I thought I woud view photos of my holiday to Thassos, Greece, in September, did not make me feel any warmer just made me feel I would like to go somewhere hot for a couple of weeks maybe after Xmas

Have also been doing some classes over at BSK Bedford doing machine embroidery, love my new embroidery machine now it is behaving itself. Did table mat and napkin and the hand towel and face cloths I have done as a present for my mother Dorothy and a set for her friend Norman, I am pleased with how they have turned out.

No pictures but have have also done a couple of sets of napkins as christmas gifts and have been working hard on a quilt I am doing for a friend pictures of that when it is finished.

Hope all this has brought a smile to your face Diana!!

Having had an e.mail from my tutor saying it was about time I put more on my blog, I WAS her star pupil she said, ( I am also her only pupil) here are some pieces I have been doing. Firstly I do love doing stained glass and I have just done a workshop with Helen Spence doing an Art Deco wallhanging. love it, Helen also designed the wallhanging, starting from the top I have done it depicting the seasons,so it's Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Thanks Helen for a wonderful workshop.
