Good morning everyone :-)
Today it's my turn to share the Freebie Christmas pattern from the Gum Tree Designers. You can go here and download the free pattern in pdf format
a cute mini wallhanging with little tinkle bells and featuring a topiarized christmas tree with a big luscious bow.... how gorgeous!
The design would also work well as a stitched panel on the front of a gift bag - maybe a bottle bag? Maybe if someone wants to give me a nice bottle of bubbles?
Today is a day of rest... well almost... Mum has an appt with the skin man to have yet another cancer removed. Apparently she has a black eye from the last one, maybe I need to take a photo :-)
Yum bundle - destined for some needle turn applique
Later on I'll show you all some quilts. Last week I completed the quilting on 8 quilts for Lisa at Precious Time... they are delicious! Ok - here's one of them...
have a lovely stitchy day

I just posted my thanks to the Gum Tree blog but wanted to let you know personally...I love your little Seasons Greetings project. It is...sweet and elegant. There are so many wonderful things to make but I love to embroider and hope to find time to do your design before Christmas. If not before, I'll do it after Christmas and will be a step ahead for next year!

Oh sure, I sleep in ONE morning and you post the next project while I'm still snoring, I mean, SLEEPING!!
It is very cute BUT are you sure you want us to send you bubble bath??
I know that's the kind of bubbly you're talking about. Bubble bath and not champagne!;0
p.s. thanks for the freebie. it really is lovely. It looks a little blurry after my morning champagne but I'm sure that it's me and not the pattern. ;0

Absolutely gorgeous!! Meant to send you text this am re your 'freebie' - but arrived late at work (as I forgot USB and had to go home 4 it); then when I got there we were straight into whole school Behaviour Management Strategies...A total world away from where I would rather have been today!!! We were however productive!
