I'm a member of an online group "Friends in Stitching" and last year we had a BOM with members taking turns choosing blocks, so now mine is patiently waiting for quilting. I hope to do it next week as today I ordered a new sewing machine, I've been eyeing it off for quite a while now and should get it next Tuesday.... I'm so excited..... I'll pop a photo as soon as it comes.
Thank you Sarah.
I've also finished another block of my Blossom Lane quilt.... 2 more to go.
Here is my bear "Chloe" that Teresa made for me for christmas, she also gave me a lovely doiley to make a dress for her..... the brooch belonged to me sister ..June... and I've been waiting for a special project to put it on and this is it.... special gift from a special friend......perfect.
Another project in progress is "Crazy Patch Christmas " quilt by Lynette Anderson, lots to go on this one so it might be slow going but steady I hope.
I also bought myself a couple of pressies.... naughty but nice..... from Lynette Anderson these great little wooden sewing tools and I got my blog put into book form so I guess one could say ...... I'm published hehehehe .... its just the first couple of years of blogging so I will order another one soon, it is lovely to have the book to look back on.
and last but not least.... my lovely g/daughter Corinne spent 3 weeks in Japan and has given me and Pop a couple of great gifts..... obviously the whiskey is for Pop and the others are mine, she knows how much I love Pooh Bear so he is now sitting on my bedside chest of drawers, the plate and Pooh are from Disneyland, love the little Japanese bear dressed in all the traditional clothes..... thank you Corinne I love them.

I love your FIS BOM and the label is such a lovely idea, your embroidery is gorgeous, love the basket filled with flowers, ted is too cute and Corinne isn't she sweet bringing you something from Japan.
Lynette's Bom is almost done and I think you are ahead of me with that one, also love her crazy patch blocks and congratulations on becoming published, that's such a great idea
