And the ideas began ...

Well I went to Tauranga with hubby and spent four days looking at houses and re looking at houses. It was a very difficult decision but we have a result and we are moving in the school holidays, when exactly we don't know yet but should do in about a week.

We had stitching group here at our place last Monday night. What a fun evening we had. With show and tell by all, we also discussed our project for 2013.

We are doing triptychs, any size we like. Several ladies discussed their ideas and one even had her drawings done already. I have had trouble settling on one idea for the triptych as I have had a lot of ideas and couldn't choose.


After the ladies had left at the end of the evening as I flicked through a book I had borrowed from club I instantly knew what I wanted to do for my triptychs. Well at least two of them anyway. No, they aren't any of my original ideas.


On the left will be one panel and the design on the right will be another. I haven't thought too much past there yet.

These designs are from Material Obsession Two by Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke. There are some awesome designs in this book. I just love the fabrics too.

Any ideas or feedback, please leave a comment as I would love to hear from you.

Until next time, happy stitching everyone,
Donna-Maree

How's the houses going? Have you got the four main pieces together? I like the birds in this post, glad you have decided what to do for your triptych.
