27th February 2012

Kia-ora a very special day for my daughter, granddaughter and myself . My Oldest Grand daughter Alexa -May starts at Uni --Deakon in Melbourne Victoria . Australia -- We are so proud of her and wish her  well in her new venture.Alexa has always loved school and was impatient to get back to school half way thru holidays--Good luck with your studies and varsity life Alexa.
Now for stitching --I have at last started some Crazy Quilt blocks-- These will be all hand work-- will have to search out something to work with on Fudge tho.
Ihave so far started on a green block and have a purple and a teal block ready to stitch--no excuse for not having any handwork to take out with me!!

Has anybody any ideas ?

Salmon purse/bag needleholder thread holder finished

Kia-ora I have finished the stitching on this wee piece including the zip and a funny wee tassle to hang in the end of the zip.
The inside is lined with a soft fabric and has a couple of pockets to hold needles threads or ??
The zip is stitched in with buttonhole stitch in keeping with the stitching on the bag.
I have named the photos front and back but there really is no difference. The bag opens right out as the zip goes around three side --
