Yes it is officially winter time here, and I have to say I am loving it - even though we have had ooooodles and oooooodles of rain. Yes, it is hard to avoid turning a wee bit mouldy.
I just had to share these little pictures with you. A friend sweetly rang to say that she had taken one of the designs from 'High Tea' and turned it into a combined paint and stitchery effort. I found it very eye catching, I wonder if you will agree.
My friend also said that she'd had so much fun painting up the fabric before stitching that she not only made a bag for herself, but for other family members as well. Then she went on to "show and tell" the bag to one of her friends. That friend is currently on tour around Australia with sewing machine in tow (in the caravan), plus paints and brushes.
What do you know - several painted and stitched bags are being lovingly made for her children for forthcoming Christmas gifts as she travels around the country.
I trust that life is good for you all and that you are all, like me, enjoying the beautiful season of winter.
Winter blessings.....jo
I love this pattern - can I buy it somewhere? Would love a new project to do. Good going, I like your style.
