Something new....and a giveaway

Hi all, I thought it was time I did another post...the weeks just seem to fly by don't they?  I can't quite believe we are almost into April.

We have our annual church camp coming up and I was asked if I would take a craft group on the Saturday afternoon....initially I assumed that it was to be for the children, but then I found out it was for the adults (ladies...I am assuming....though blokes would also be welcome LOL).....so I then got really excited and have designed this little stitchery based on one of my favourite bible verses.....

My writing when it comes to these crafty things is fairly average, so the lovely Leanne Beasley graciously agreed to do the writing for me.....I am really quite pleased how the project has turned out.....and am very much looking forward to spending some crafty time with some of the other lovely people from my church, as well as all of the other activities on the weekend.

I would also like to make one of these for a reader of my blog....so if you would like to leave me a comment, along with your colour preferences, I will draw a name after Easter and get stitching....
Hoping your week is a good one....

I'm baaaaaackkkkk!!!!

Hi all, well, where has the past month gone?  I don't really know...it's not that I have been overly busy, other than the usual work, church, family things.....anyway, a couple of posts ago I promised a photo of one of my latest completed and very longstanding projects and here it is....I showed photos of this partially completed sometime last year...well, I have been busily working to complete the binding on this my "Wedding Quilt"..... yes, that is what I have been calling it since starting on it way back too long ago to remember.... all I know is that I started it on a holiday with my parents to Apollo Bay.....sadly the photo just doesn't do the quilt justice.  It is very very big and hangs over the sides and bottom of my queen size bed by about 12 inches.  I could have tried photographing it in the next day or two hanging from the clothesline, but given the amount of rain we have had this weekend, this might not have been achievable... anyway, here it is.....now all I need to do is meet the person I am to share it with....will keep praying for him....
