Our Stitch Sisters group met at Rhonda’s home where she had scrumptious home made sausage rolls for afternoon tea
and birthday cake for our November birthday girl
Rhonda is working on a Christmas stocking for one of her three grandsons
Helen showed us her “Primavera” blocks
and finished off two more that she’d started piecing during the week
I was working on something new (how unlike me!)
Vikki has decided to add more rows to her gorgeous crocheted rug
Kay was working on her pyramids
and Karen stitched more of her “Oranges and Lemons” blocks

Cast and Crew
The Golfer:: My loving husband of some 20 years (yes, I was a child bride!), who likes nothing better than flogging a little white ball around the green fairways (and hopefully not getting into the rough) of his local golf course.
Ma & Pa Kettles:: My parents who live in the country, fondly known as The Kettles. Sadly my gorgeous Dad died in 2015, so it’s just Mum now.
MyDearFIL & MIL:: The Golfer’s Dad & Mum who have now both passed away.
LittleBigBrother:: My brother who is younger than me, but at 6 foot, definitely bigger than me!!
DocSisterInLaw:: LittleBigBrother’s wife (who has a Doctorate!)
Poppet:: My beautiful niece, and daughter of LittleBigBrother and DocSisterInLaw
Bliss
(blis) n. 1. perfect happiness; serene joy
Obviously the collective noun for a group of stitchers!!
Currently……
Reading: “Holy Island” by L J Ross
Listening to: 70’s music
Watching: we’ve just got Netflix so I’m binging “Mad Men” as I missed it first time round
Going to: get out into the garden to weed…..aaaargh!
- Finally bought myself one of these @sewn_and_quilted after seeing @glendacust using hers. Such a handy way to press seams when hand stitching. Loving it. @clovermfg #handpressinghandpiecing #gottaloveagadget #thankyoufriendAnother “Gateaux” block done ✅ #wednesdaynightstitching #mereditheclarktemplates #mereditheclarksignaturecollectionSpent the last 2 days cutting and now have a basket full of block pieces ready to sew. “Gateaux” blocks on their way! #mereditheclarktemplates #mereditheclarksignaturecollection #templateprep #handsewingJust home from an absolutely fabulous class with Kate @sewintooverlocking all about using an overlocker. My second hand machine died just before lunch so came home via the shops and The Golfer (unknowingly so far!) has treated me to an early birthday present !! So brain dead can’t summon the energy to even unpack it but so looking forward to putting today’s learning into practice. Thanks to my two girlfriends for the sharing of their machines - thank goodness you were there @chillibaby59 and @janljos !!! And thanks again @sewintooverlocking for a brilliant class #nothinglikebuyinganoverlockeronthewayhome #earlybirthdaypresent #learntsomuchtoday #sangriahelping

Would Rhonda share the recipes for the cake and sausage rolls? Both look scrumptious, as do all the textile projects! Thanks for asking!
There’s always something new to see!
I so enjoy the pictures of everyone’s projects, thank you for posting. And I would love to have the recipe or the sausage rolls. I looked up the recipe online, but not finding ones that look like these. I know you can’t reply to all those type of requests, so if it’s against the ‘rules’, I understand. 🙂
