It's almost finished, I'm famous, and more fabric windows to come...


I've had it stipple-quilted by my friend Dawn, and yesterday I made the binding...


One more day and it will be complete...


There's a deep sense of satisfaction and delight at this stage. I'm in awe of so wonderful our God  that He deigns to bless me with a tiny corner of His Creative Self. All glory to Him!

Today you have Block 23 waiting to download free HERE in the shop...



...and because Christmas is fast approaching, and some of you may be stitching the Lord's Prayer Quilt as a gift, I've decided to share all three remaining blocks as a single download next Monday so you can complete the quilt a little sooner. 


I'm famous!
Well, maybe not actually famous,  but kinda-sorta because Allie Hartom of Allie-oops Designs has just released her newest stitchery and it's a gypsy wagon that she named after *me*!

Jenny Rose - isn't she gorgeous!?


 I can't wait for a little down time to stitch it!
Kind of a 'self portrait', yeh?

I'm blushing from head to toe, and planning to run barefoot across the grass in my gypsy skirt, silver dangled earrings and embroidered peasant blouse, a tambourine held high above my head...


The quote under the wagon is from "Lord of the Rings" and is Blossom's favourite  line from the trilogy - she even wears a silver ring with "not all who wander are lost" engraved around it.
But sadly for Blossom, when I stitch this design of Allie's it will be staying with me.
 If you want to stitch Allie's 'Jenny Rose Gypsy Wagon'  her pattern is a pdf download over HERE, and you can drop over here to her blog and tell her how much it looks like me, if you like.



After sharing this tutorial last week...


...I decided I wasn't yet 'done' with sewing fabric frames, so I raided my fat quarter stash for some suitable fabrics to fussy cut and found these...


I was thinking they'd be perfect for new cushions, or maybe a bag - well, anything really!
Now all I need is a free day for myself to play. 
I shall endeavour to do so and keep you posted.

Have you made any fabric windows yet?
