A Family Gathering catchup.

I'm a little behind with my Family Gathering stitching at the moment...it seems that a whole new month started, and I didn't really notice :) What can I say except that life is busy around here!

So here are the blocks that Linda, Tracey and I were supposed to be finished in June....called Blackberry Picking...


...and Animal Stack.



I loved stitching the little blackberries...they give a beautiful texture to the finished block. I always stitch colonial knots rather than French knots on my quilts, as I find that they don't disappear into the fabric like French knots do at times, and they sit up nicely on the surface....but that's just my personal preference :)


It is soooooo chilly here in Perth at the moment... perfect weather for baking and stitching and reading and watching movies snuggled up on the lounge :)


Best get back to it :)

I like the animal stack.

Hmmm...I don't even know what a colonial knot is (I'm not much of an embroiderer), but now I want to look it up.

Suzitte, You made me laugh! I really appreciate your generosity ... I guess I kinda did earn a few merit points with the rocks ;)
