Patchwork Quilting Applique & Crochet
I'm feeling much more like myself this month. Had a pretty clear head and been able to get lots of Lovely Stitching done.

Machine Stitching
Spent quite a bit of time Machine Stitching on my beloved Bernina this month. I've dived right back into The Winter Village
I've machine stitched (Appliquéd) all the Branches Berries & Birds 🐦 on.
I decided to not to free motion stitch them as the Applique pieces were mostly straight. So I slowly stitched around all the shapes. Turning my work slightly after every couple of machine stitches on the round Berries and Birds. That's when Needle Down & my machines Knee Lifter really show their worth.
Hand Stitching
We've had some lovely Bright Days this month. In fact it's felt more like September than October, and with September being so wet for us here in South Wales I've felt September & October swapped places this year.
Anyway, as I said we've had some lovely Bright Days. Just perfect for me for Hand Stitching.
September Mouse of the Month
My making of September's Mouse of the Month ran over in October...
October Mouse of the Month
And Yay! I actually started and finished October's Mouse of the Month in October!
Christmas Hearts
I've also Hand Stitched some pieces of fabric that are going to morph into Christmas Heart Hangings.
They are for my local W.I.'s Christmas Tree which will be displayed in Margam Park's Christmas Tree Festival.

Crochet
Looking at projects to make for Christmas I found a lovely Granny Square Scarf pic on Pinterest. Which gave me an idea.
I had a bag of Crochet Circles I had made a few years ago - the start of a Crochet Blanket. For some reason I didn't continue with it. And those Crochet Circles would make a perfect first few rounds for a bit of a different Granny Square to my usual ones.
A Lovely Scrap Busting Project
So far I've made three of these Scarfs with number four a Work in Progress.
