What a gorgeous surprise for each of my daughter <a href="http://sarahcameron-papertrails.blogspot.com.au/">Sarah</a>children to hang up just in time for Christmas. She got the patterns from several Christmas stocking specialist books , not sure exactly whose at this stage but will find out and post later.</div>

Finished Heaven and Earth Design "Lady in a meadow", by Kinoko Y Craft. Stitched on 18 count aida took 2 years to complete!!<br />

Had six weeks off due to shoulder surgery, but hoping to have it completed in 18 months! They're not projects you can complete over night!</div>

I am fortunate to have several in my house. This is my quilting room where quilts are finished off. I also have my sewing room , where I create my quilts, and another space on the dining room table for when I just have to keep sewing when people are visiting.!! How rude you may say , but my friends and family understand my idiosyncracies. Last but by no means least I also commandeer a corner of the TV room for the end of the day when I indulge in my other passion- cross stitch. I must praise my husband and four children because never in the last 20 years or so have I had any complaints or accidents on "my latest creation". They all just take it in their stride and squeeze in where-ever they fit ! Now thats accomodating!<br />

I get so tired of everyone saying how easy it all is but my computer wont always behave. Well perhaps it is the operator !!<br />
Bought another 2 patterns from my favorite site today. Heaven and Earth Designs .Wow what a treasure trove if you like patterns with that extra something. I guarantee if you enjoy a challenge, and love cross stitch this has to be the place for you to visit. I bought Eternal Promise and Foxglove Hall. I now officially have to live way beyond 100 in order to finish the ones I have . Truly NO MORE!!<br />
I also managed to work today on a customer quilt and finished it. I have to finish as many as I can before next week when I have my shoulder surgery. Enough for now , till next time . Have a great dayAlison Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04671248088432035162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989962553780807957.post-57573927842543440522012-09-22T01:32:00.000-07:002012-09-22T01:32:18.041-07:00In the begining....... the world told me to have a blog spot.
