Excitement and news.

Hi everyone…I have been a bit quiet as I have been busy sewing some special things for Christmas. I better not show you as who they are intended for might pop in and see their surprise.

~~~~~~~~~

I have had my profile published in Simply Patchwork and Stitching

and am so thrilled at what Katy did. It’s a 4 page spread…Wow…didn't think it would be that much. I am excited to the hilt!

There’s even some pictures of what’s going to be published. One day I will learn how to take good photos of things.

Another exciting thing is my good friend Jenny has her gorgeous design published in it also. She made the front cover with her design. Way to go Jen :)

~~~~~~

Have you been having a look at the Among The Gum Tree’s blog each day? There are links to some fabulous Christmas things to read about and make and all sorts. I have got a surprise for Saturday and I have been busy with it the last few days…so keep an eye out for it on Saturday.

But check everyday as its Christmas Advent time right up until Christmas :)Sooo exciting! So much to see so make sure you have your cuppa ready to sip while you browse.

I always get a great thrill when one of you lovely ladies email me with piccies of what you have made of my designs. It really is a delight and to think that what I designed appealed enough for anyone to make is a big thrill and very humbling.

Here is what Joyce made, two of my bags I had published in Down Under Quilts.

Joyce's Bags 

Love ‘em Joyce!

Also Bronny has been flat out making up lots and lots of the Christmas Door Stops.

I think she might have had a production line going…hehehe

aren't they just fabulous?

I hope you all are having a great time sewing your Christmas goodies …Before we know it Christmas will be behind us and we will have to think about lots of other good things to sew.

Hugs to all…..Vicki
