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: “Divided House” by J M Dalgliesh
Listening to: the cool jazz of Trudy at Nuno Nuno on her Spotify account – check it out!
Watching: The Golfer has just hooked us up to SBS On Demand and there’s lots to watch!
Going to: try and stay cool, calm and collected as we all “lockdown”!

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. 🙂
