Baby Bracelet Blessings BOM by Chitter Chatter Designs

If you don't follow Cori's blog Chitter Chatter Designs then you won't know about a lovely new Free BOM that will start April 1st. Better be quick though and check it out as each BOM will only be available for 4 weeks.

Thank-you Cori for sharing this with the Blogoverse!

Now what did I buy you ask?

The goodies I bought home from yesterday's gathering include

a kit to make all Marg Low's projects, all pretties of course

I have plenty in my stash to do Gail's projects.

I also purchased these lovely new wool projects,

designed by Leonnie from the Quilted Crow

plus another piece of wool to add to my collection

and I've always wanted a pretty apron so I chose this one by Leanne Beasely

So as you can see there's lots there to keep me busy!

I hope you've all had a productive weekend.

Cheers from

I'm so sad :-(

Another wonderful gathering has ended and I miss my friends already. It was such a lovely day and I love to see what everyone is doing and have a good old chat. It just goes far to quick. Thank-you Leonnie and Dierdre for a great day and to Gail Pan and Marg Low for sharing the day with us.

I'm a hopeless blogger, dashed out this morning without my camera! Luckily Fee had hers so if you visit her blog you'll see some of the projects we had to choose from. Plus a  couple of photos of the bloggers who attended. Fee sent me a photo of what I made and actually completed. This was all I did all day!!

This gorgeous bookmark was designed by Marg Low and is higlighted by a Theodora Cleave button. I learnt how to do glove stitch and would you believe I only just learnt how to do a quilter's knot (Thanks Helen, you're a good teacher!)

I've got plenty of projects to go on with so hopefully I can get a bit more stitching in before the day's out!

Missing Mug Bag

After searching high and low for my mug bag with no luck I decided I had to make another for the Quilted Crow's gathering tomorrow. This time I used two tea towels from a $2 shop and I love the finished product.

I even made a matching coaster. The pattern was from Australian Homespun Issue No. 36

So my bag is all packed and ready for a big day out!!
