On Saturday night we went to Sydney with our friends Lynell and Darren, so that they could give a wedding present to Michael and Peta. What a fabulous gift Lynell has made for the newlyweds.

The colours in the first photo are more accurate. Lynell based the design on the wedding invitations, which were black, teal and lime green. The orange is for Peta's hair and the black embossed frame is also taken from the invitations which had black embossed/flock paper.
The second version of the jumper is a much better fit, so I was happy about that.
Yesterday was the birthday of one of our on-line group and it was my turn to make her present. This year's theme is "Eat, Grow, Cook". I chose one element of the theme, "Cook", and made Christine Book's recipe folder using some lovely yellow Mary Engelbreit fabric.
Our on-line group has been running a recipe collection so I printed them all to add to the folder.
My pile of little hexagons is taking shape
and I've cut out a second lot using all Fig Tree fabrics. The Olympics will provide lots of stitching time. I wonder what this cute little shape will become?
