Stitched Robin 

While Camping this month I Hand Stitched a little Robin on a Holly Branch. 

Part of this year's Christmas Tree Festival project which my local W.I. are taking part in.  I've got a few more on the go, so you'll be seeing more over the next couple of months.

A nice little calming Hand Stitching Project easy to pick up in a spare few minutes.

Mouse of the Month.

I've been playing catch up with these Mice this month. In the last few weeks I've stitched June, July & August. 

Jilly Mouse spent quite some time Relaxing in her Hammock in June.

July found Jilly down by the Beach enjoying her little Beach House making Sandcastles and keeping cool in her little dipping pool.

In August Jilly toasted marshmallows with her friend. 

Thought you might like to see the process of bringing Jilly to life.  From tracing the Pattern onto fabric, Hand Stitching, Applique, More Stitching.

These Little Stitched Mouse of the Month pieces have been such fun to make. So quick too. Mouse of the Month by Gillymakes.

This Month's Unexpected Project was a quilted Kindle Cover requested by my Granddaughter 

No pattern. I made a simple zipper Bag to fit.

Crochet Festival Blanket 

And the Star of the Month has to be this King Cole Festival Fever Crochet Blanket 

Such a Joy to Make

Of course I couldn't resist using some of the leftover yarn to Crochet some Festival Bunting.

And a multi coloured Bunting Bag to keep it in.

Quilt Repairs 

Remember the Heart Patches I made last month?

Well I finally got round to Stitching them onto My Millenium Quilt.
