One of the most popular Christmas projects in my sewing school are ADVENT CALENDARS!

Advent Calendars are just so much fun no matter what your age! I personally love them! From mum???s to be, teens who have never had the pleasure to own one to grandmothers who are creating heirlooms for their grandies – it???s a wonderful Christmas Project!

Our Advent Calendars which are made from purchased panels can be made using lovely gold embroidery threads, to more elaborate using metallic paints and Christmas sparkle! We use buttons and beads and highlight areas with Trapunto quilting techniques.

Anne???s Advent Calendar is featured here with gorgeous embroidered family name to create the perfect heirloom.

Happy Sewing,

Hello Everyone!

Term four is now well underway and it???s less than 7 weeks until Christmas! So make sure you get those Christmas sewing projects going girls!

Last month I had a wonderful holiday in Noosa with all my family and my son Matthew and his wife Cameron flew over from London too. Beautiful weather, family reunion???s and a friend???s wedding it was a well deserved and fulfilled break!

The highlight of October was certainly my eldest brother Peters wedding to Kathy. After sewing love into every stitch of the wedding outfits I made for their special day and making the table floral arrangements with hundreds of roses from my garden it was simply lovely to see them become husband and wife with all the trimmings!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jenny, Kay and Jackie who helped me with the flowers in the days just before the wedding.

October ended with another ever so successful Intimo Party where 10 girls enjoyed morning tea and shopping for gorgeous lingerie.
