Some Shepherds Bush Sewing and Stitching

It is ANZAC day here in New Zealand and Australia, we remember our fallen soldiers.  Lest we forget.


Hi All

What a great few days it has been.  Off from work for ten days, being able to sort the house out once more, sew and stitch and have a day or two away from the normal routine.

Last year, about October I think, I bought this wee pattern

and promptly stitched it up.  While I was stitching it, I had other ideas of how I would like to make it.  Never just a one thing in my mind!!  So here is what I made Katrina for her birthday... in her favourite spots of course and lined.  I even changed the colours to match the fabric.  Love how it looks.




a bag to keep her stitching in.  Well, I loved that one so much I have made myself one too!  Of course that was always the plan, so that I could keep my Shepherd's Bush 2014 Fold all together.

So here is mine....


and the original little bag that I stitched way back in October...



Speaking of Shepherd's Bush, my mail had a great parcel in the on Tuesday.  I had been waiting patiently,  hahaha, not really, for it to arrive.  Was tickled pink when the courier delivered it to me.

Here is where I am at right now, and I was not happy having to rip out the house that I had all stitched. Count twice, stitch one Kath!  I think that pink heart is going to have to come out, I may have left an entire line out.  Nevertheless, a very addictive stitch.


So that is me for now.

Thanks for dropping in.

Loving the new start Kath, and the Stitching bags for you and Katrina will be perfect for keeping it all together.
