Rouenneries Birdies

They are quite shy so I had to sneak up very quietly to get these pictures!


Luckily Oliver hasn't spotted them yet as he likes to think he's a big brave hunter sometimes!!

I am hoping they will stick around for a while as they look very pretty amongst the greenery.

Christmas Gifts
Most of the squares are from the Portobello Market range by 3 Sisters. I also threw in a few complimentary squares of Chelsea Boutique and Nells' Flower Shop both by Blackbird Designs.


The thin cream border was a bit off leftover Hemming House I found in my stash which seemed to work okay and the wider outside border is Portobello Market again. I really like working with pre-cuts but it was actually quite satisfying to mix and match a bit and still come up with a quilt that worked. (Mum LOVES it anyway.)


The back is made from Portobello Market wide backing fabric.

You're probably sick of seeing these but this is the bon-bon my sister Kathy received for Christmas. I also gave her a big pile of Cottage Charm fabrics to make herself a quilt from.

Quite proud of the needleturning on this one ... not as many bumps as sometimes!!

Yesterday I spent the day with Vicki, Sarah, Roseanne and two other Christines. We did lots of talking, lots of eating and not quite so much stitching!! It was heaps of fun and I will show you what I worked on next post.
Drumroll, Please! And the Winners are ...
What a beautiful giveaway and congratulations on two years of posting. I'm looking forward to seeing what 2010 will bring

Secret Santa Christmas Swap (SSCS)
Bells ...

and stars.
On the back she attached this really cool label. Very clever the way it fits into the corner and has both our names. Thank you, Simona, and thank you Chookyblue for organising another great swap.

I made a gift for Tami in the USA. This little wallhanging is based on one designed by Sally Giblin. It was in an Australian magazine ... Homespun or Country Threads .... sorry can't remember exact details.
I also made Tami one of Anni's bon bons. It was actually my first one ... the start of the obsession!
This picture also shows the ornament I made Tami ... a little bird to hang on her tree. I mostly used Peace on Earth and Roman Holiday fabrics ... both by 3 Sisters.
In the rush to get it all finished and posted on time, this was the only close-up photo I took of the stitchery squares.
Thanks to everyone who left well wishes on my last post. There is still plenty of time if you haven't entered the giveaway yet. Last time I looked there were 99 entries so it looks like I'll be giving away 2 fat quarter packs in addition to the tablerunner. I am looking forward to having a look at everyone's blogs over the next few days.
