A Festive Catch Up & new Goodies

Earlier in the month I met up with my dear stitching friends for our annual day of festive fun and to celebrate the December ladies' birthdays. We had such a lovely day together - so many laughs, show and tell, planning projects and ideas for 2025, birthday treats, a delicious lunch and dessert, and a secret Santa exchange.

Clare brought along three of her buntings and hangings.

This one is by Heartstring Samplery:

Annie Beez Folk Arts 12 Days of Christmas stockings - this in my 2025 stitching plans.

Merry Christmas Bunting by Rosalie Quinlan Designs.

The ladies, very seriously stitching away at times!

Chocolate brownie made by Kath, so yum!

I received some very sweet gifts :

From my secret Santa (Sonia) 

I just love this portfolio she made - gorgeous fabrics!

From Lisa:

I'm so grateful to have these cherished friends in my life. We missed seeing our dear friends Lisa and Nicki this time but will catch up with them both in the new year. Looking forward to our catch ups in 2025 already xx

A small parcel arrived recently from 123 Stitch, its been some time since my last stash delivery lol.

Peace on Earth will be started once I source all the threads and suitable fabric.

Red linen for some Hands on Designs charts.

Note of Love, Hannah Rome, will be a holiday start.

Fabric to get 12 Days of Christmas stockings underway in January

Couldn't resist one of the mini plaid bags,  and the girls and I are planning to stitch on these next year.

I'll be back tomorrow with my final post of the year.  

See you soon xx
