More Chicken Scratch!

I am in love with Chicken scratch.
This is my second attempt but I had so much fun!!!
I didn't use a pattern. I just traced the butterfly
and went from there.  That is why one wing is bigger than the other!  (lol)
You can see more here!

And this is my third attempt!
I used a pattern from HERE!
Isn't this cottage cute?  I LOVE it!
I worked this on the bigger gingham checks and it was so much easier.
Just thought I would share my excitement!

Spinning into the night

Hello there - hope you all had a safe and fun Christmas with those you like the best.

There was a little sewing on Christmas Eve before the festivities began and these have now been delivered to Jindi's mum.




Spinning into the night - mug rug using the Mosaic2 pinwheel block and a matching mug cosy.

A little Christmas wall hanging ready for next years celebrations using a free design from Gail Pan, if you go by her blog she has a new free design for 2010.


Happy creating in the New Year

Christmas rugs

You know I just could not stop at one.

Here in Oz it is summer when Santa comes and we always see him at the beach. I caught him practising his kite boarding last weekend - there is more than one way to get around.



Just couldn't leave this fabric in Spotty last week - Rudolph's friends are hanging about waiting for their gig.

The Christmas tree - already decorated.


Rudolph and a helper have loaded the sleigh ready to make some deliveries.



Which one would you choose?


Hope your preparations are going well.

Mistea.

Upcycling ~ by The Patchwork Heart ♥

Hello and nice to meet you all!
♥♥♥
I am a new member of Pins and Needles.
My name is Heather and I am from England.
Please visit me at

I love anything country ... my new passion is upcycling
and I love to collect fabric from car boot sales
which I then remake into

hearts

stitcheries
eco friendly fat quarter bundles
and rag rugs

Rag rugging has taken over my life at the moment
with family fearing for their clothes!
I have had so much interest on
that I have written a tutorial.
You can find it here ~ follow the link on the side bar to the tutorial page.
