So I finished the grid for my perpetual wall calendar today. I’m excited! I will sew snaps in the days to attach the numbers. And I will add the month title above. There will also be two small art pieces each month. I will post the January pieces in the comments.

Finished the pouch with the cluster embellishment created with elements received in the fabric flip swap.

I've begun getting the last few lone blocks sewn into their groups so I can get this top together. It's still a long way from completion but I just keep on moving forward one stitch at a time and then one day I have a top!

This is a Winter/Xmas panel that I made a couple of years ago with Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery. I like it so much that it stays up all year. Unfortunately it doesn’t represent Xmas in New Zealand as our Xmas’s are more about sun and sand.

This is my latest slow stitch needle book. Needles can be placed on the woollen pieces or in the centre crazy patch page. I have included pockets for putting threads etc in. The front cover is a needle turn appliqué block given to me by a quilting friend who has since passed away. I have several of these blocks in varying sizes and am going to use them for similar projects. I added stitching and other ephemera to it. I have even found the perfect sized block for the front cover of my first cozy hugs book.
