Today I made the trip from Auckland to Matangi again, for our last sewing day get together for 2015.
I had accumulated over the past couple of weeks a lovely pile of new quilting and cook books, so they were well browsed through. Hand sewing, cross-stitch, pom-pom making and crochet lessons were all taking place today. Lots of yummy food again too.
Gwen and I were the lucky birthday club recipients this time. I was very spoiled with the handmade gifts I was given. From
Deb, I received a beautiful Meadow pillow cover, featuring so many gorgeous fabrics and from Rachael I received a beautiful Anna Maria Horner pillow, featuring her handmade pottery buttons. I think my family will be banned from using these.
I made Gwen a pouch for her knitting (my first finish in my
Q4 finish-along goals) and some beaded stitch markers.
Such a shame we probably won't have another get-together until next year now.
I love the stitch markers, they are a real delight. Beautiful gifts.
ReplyDeleteIts always so lovely to catch up!
ReplyDeleteA lovely selection of goodies! The stitch markers look pretty, great idea! Lots of good reading there... I've just reserved the Sarah F. book at the library too! I'm always on the lookout for ideas to use up those precious scraps!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I love that photo of Mr. Chew Chew. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI will be taking a blog break.
Wanted to wish you a great week!
