Slow Stitching - five more little cats embellished with stitching

 I have been working on and off in the last few weeks on these cat squares.  I have added a variety of hand stitching to frame them nicely on their black squares.  These will be added to quilts somewhere along line as I get back to quilting.  It has been a busy summer with a variety of events and family occasions.  The fall has been beautiful with no hard frost yet so more jobs around the house have been added to the TO DO list.  

I acquired this wonderful vest at a sale at put on by the Ujamma Grandmas.  It was very well suited to me in the way of the colours, the french and english stitched words and the fit!!!  

I will be sharing with the others on Kathy's Quilts for her Slow Sunday Stitching!!  Be sure to check them out as there is always something to inspire there and lots of links to their projects and other stitching challenges.

Bags, babies and beyond - Ujamma Grandma sale

I bought this wonderful wreath made up of cotton bolls still attached the stems on which they grow!!  It was a wonderful find at the Ujamma Grandmas - Bags, Babies and Beyond sale on the weekend!!  It was a room full of wonderfulness!!  Beautiful bags of every ilk, Christmas decoration, packaging, gifts, wall hangings, etc!! Delicate beautiful shawls in a rainbow of colours which would do any outfit proud!!  Jewelry, tags, pot holders, jar openers, mug rugs, table runners, coasters, napkins, etc that would suit so many occasions in style.  There were mittens, slippers, toques and hats made of so many ways from knitting to felted wool. A whole table dedicated to babies from blankets to leggings!!!  I went with my daughter.  She managed to buy quite a few gifts and I brought home this beautiful wreath which I will hang with an ivory tulle bow on my front door for the Christmas season.  The prices were all very reasonable and all the items were made by the members of the group and were of exceptional quality and workmanship!!!!  Therese
