Christmas over



and it was head down and bum up for me as I focused on the quilt which we will be raffeling as a fundraiser for Relay For Life  which will be held here in Port pIrie in April 2011.
The Country Hart Stich 'n' Bitch Girls, the Pirie Quilters and a couple of special friends of Country Hart have come up with these beautiful blocks which I had to turn into a beautiful quilt which would do these blocks justice. Oh and my lovely daughter Abbie who only picked up an needle for the first time a couple of months ago and had never had any lessons even made a block.......the beautiful heart 3rd on the top row I am so proud of her she did a wonderful job
 I have pieced together with a beautiful Moda Jelly Roll "Faith" by Howard Marcus.
Stitchery, applique, needle turn, machine embroidery.....its all there.
I am so happy with how the quilt has turned out and it is a decent 62" x 62"
So the quilt is off to the quilter on Wednesday then it will be displayed at Country Hart while it is being raffeled
If you would like to buy a ticket or if you would like to sell a book for us give me a yell via email

Now on to the next project.......would you believe A Christmas Stocking??????? yep a Chrissy Stocking for Homespuns Christmas in July issue................best get cracking have to have it in by the 7th

So on that note I will say Goodnight

Merry Christmas


 
I hope you and your family all have a wonderful time together and that Santa is very kind to you all........I have just checked at Norad and there is only about 2 hours left before Santa boards his sliegh and begins his trip around the world you can check it out and see where Santa is at www.noradsanta.org/



Steve is at work this Christmas but we do have the rest of the family together, as our kids, Dylan, Abbie and Brady, my Mum and my Brother, his wife and their 4 kids all gather at our place for Christmas lunch.......we have been really busy over the last few months so we are keeping it simple this year, ham, prawns, chicken & Salads around the pool and of course a bottle of wine or 2 maybe.......lol



Steve sent me beautiful flowers today because he is not here......the tears he brought to my eyes were not a good look in the shop though.....oh well





We would also like to say an huge THANKYOU to all of you our wonderful Country Hart family for your support and patronage over the past 12 months



We also have some exciting news for 2011.....All of the stock in the bricks and Mortor shop will be also available online at www.countryhart.com.au so in the first few months of 2011 the website is going to grow big time as we go through the huge task of listing all the stock



Also in 2011 I have been ask to design a project for the Christmas in July issue of Homespun......which I have to have submitted by Jan 7th......eeeeeeek!!!

I have also been ask to submit projects in 3 editions of Country Threads in 2011



So now you know what i am doing between Christmas and New Year ......designing Christmas in July....Oh and I will be piecing together the beautiful blocks all the girls from Country Hart's Stitch 'n' Bitch group and the Pirie Quilters have made for our Relay For Life Quilt which when finished will be raffled with the proceeds going to Relay For Life

I will pop a pic on the blog as soon as I get the top together there are some amazing blocks it should be beautiful
