THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

The placemat applique is only done with a zig zag stitch.

Fantastic day here today. Wall to wall sunshine & hardly a breath of wind. I might clean out the greenhouse later!

[cat-knitter]

If I had placemats as beautiful as that I'd want to hang it on the wall or display it somewhere .....  I'd certainly be wary of using it for its real purpose incase it got spilt on

Waves like a loony @ Rainy & says ..... I have pic I keep meaning to send you

It's been a bit on the cool side here today and it's been breezy.  I got my bedding changed this morning and the sheets are now dried and put away.  I also changed my duvet cover and curtains.  I have also mown the lawn and I'm shattered.  Methinks that it will be an early night tonight.

Off to get on with some knitting now.  At least I have until Christmas to finish the little cardigan I'm knitting.

morning darlingssun is shining a wee bit but it's cold.

I've not done much this morning as I'm watching the marathon...lazy coo...but I like to watch it, maybe I'll see our lad from work who's giving it a go.

Beautiful day here, just put the washing out, might do a spot of weeding later. Lovely.

[ilove2patch]

I cleared the greenhouse yesterday & planted shallots & beetroot seeds this morning. Must get some carrot & radish seeds.

Sorry I've been AWOL - I have FIL in hospital, and as OH is away and his daughter lives on the Isle of Man, there is only me to visit and make sure he is being looked after.

Have also been busy making some things for charity as Tuesday 15th is the 10th anniversary of my Brain Tumour treatment which saved my life. Wanted to celebrate by doing a good turn to someone else.

Not had a minute to myself for ages, but hope everyone on here is OK.

[bitsnknots]

My mum's planted a load of different types of tomatoes and we have courgettes and cucumbers on the go as well.  We've also planted seeds for a load of bedding plants on the go as well.  I mowed the lawn yesterday and I'll feed it tomorrow as it's looking rather sorry for itself.

Congratulations on your sucsessful treatment Mags, nice of you to do a good turn in return.

It's been lovely here today, it was a little chilly this morning but really warm this afternoon.

I've just got in from seeing granddaughter in her drama class production of The Little Mermaid.  It was on at a proper theatre and I only went because you can't say you don't want to when the granddchild  invites you.  It was wonderful, I'm so glad i went!  Some of those children were so good.  One had no end of lines all the way through and she had an accent to do too, she was remarkable and only five years old!!

The lead, Ariel, was played by a 13 year old and boy could she sing, the sea witch could too.  It was so colourful and word and action perfect!   Nothing at all like the school Christmas play!!!  

[ilove2patch]

That sounds wonderful. So glad you went. How was Molly while you were out?

[chickengrandma-2008]

I just can't get over how good some of them were!!  Every single one was good in what they did but for some, such as granddaughter, it was just group singing with actions and dancing, but those lead parts, I can't get over how talented they were!!

 Molly was very good.  No little parcels on the floor and she seems to wee on newspaper without hardly being told, in 90% of cases.

I know you'll all be sick of the pictures,  but is there ANYTHING cuter than this???

[bitsnknots]

CG, I'll never get fed up with cute.  I just love cute.

We've had quite a bit of sun today but it's been blowing a gale today and it's just got stronger.  It's not so very warm either.

[bitsnknots]

I've just finished knitting Grace's cardigan but the sewing-up department doesn't feel quite like working at the moment but she has promised me that she will sew the cardigan up tomorrow.

[merc1_clocks]

 I, for one, could never get fed up seeing piccies of Molly & Lottie 

[captainbovine]

or me! you better not stop taking them CG, at least one a day, maybe we should just have a Molly thread! oh she's just so lovely bless her, look at Lottie, is she on baby sitting duty?

[chickengrandma-2008]

Lottie still doesn't know what to make of her I don't think, capt!  If Molly goes towards Lottie, she backs away!  Lottie hasn't growled or snapped at her at all. I think Lottie'll be more comfortable with her when she's more her size.

Ohhhh how sweet ..................Won't ever get tired of cutie's like lottie and Mollie .

Spent my entire day off working in the garden ................now need to go back to work for a rest

[petitecalicocat]

I havnt had time to even sew much but i have managed to make a little bag to give to Tiah at Easter , im going to add a felt bunny puppet kit & a chocklit wabbit to it 🙂

[captainbovine]

Work for me today, I don't know what happened but when I got home I could hardly walk!!! I'm better now, had a nice rest.

I'm off to see the consultant tomorrow, hopefully he'll have a good look at my hoof.
