Saltbox Hill

I worked on the cinderberry stitch wall hanging this week,have 1 more stitchery block to do that goes in the middle,but here is what I have done.It is to be a scrappy look.

I also spun & have a bobbin almost full,& it`s what do I do next?!! I have a skein winder,so guess I`ll just take the yarn & wind it around the winder by hand,tie it,& let it sit unless I`m to take it off & hang it somewhere with a heavy can or something to relax the twist.What do I do spinners?I believe I will make something in single ply as it is so thick in places.

It is rainning & rainning,looks like it`s starting to slack up for now.The goats were inside all day,I`m glad they all got along to share the barn.Even when the dogs & I went down,they didn`t push each other around like they usually do & I didn`t have to stand guard over Blackie to make sure he got enough grain.

I`ve got lots of concord grapes,the birds got some,but I guess I`ll be making jelly or jam.There was a day I`d be making wine,but not anymore.I was surprised to see the chipmunk enjoying some,he peeled his as I sat & watched.

Treasured Threads

I ordered 5 patterns from Treasured Threads.They stock the Australian designers patterns that I love so well.Four of the patterns are by Cinderberry Stitches,designed by Natalie Lymer,one is another handbag pattern-I need these like I need a hole in my head-by Lynette Anderson Designs,A Bee`s Life Bag.These patterns have the stitchery combined with quilting.The saltbox hill one I`m doing now had a printed heat transfer paper in it like the Aunt Martha patterns & all I did was iron on the design on my organic cotton.I didn`t have to use the light box that I find hard to view & trace sometimes.The picture didn`t turn out very well that I took of what I have done so far.
