Surprise Flower brooch...

Mail will be recieved today by many of the girls

 coming to Adelaide for Let's Get Stitched 2013!

 You may hve received your little parcel

 and wondered why?

As many are flying in to Adelaide and trying to co-ordinate

plane flights and meeting spots....

 Fee an I chatted about what to do and thought

 Ah ha... a little brooch to wear when you arrive

 (on the plane too if you want)

That way you will recognize each other by your brooch...

 we all have the same petals, 

just add your own little suffolk puff or two and a button to make it you!

 Below is the tutorial to make it.

 Above is the pack you would have received....

Some of you may have 6 circles some 5.

 Cut your self one or two suffolk puffs and pick out a button..

 Fold the circles in half and press.

 Fold again and then press so they are in quarters.

Thread a needle with thread and start sewing along the cut edge.

dod a double stitch to hold it in place.

 Stitch along to gather up and add a double stitch again at the other end.

 Your petal will take shape now.

Add the next petal and repeat with double knot, gather, double knot.

Sew all the petals together in a circle,

 With the felt cut a circle out  and place behind the petals. 

  Hot glue in place.

 Place your choice of fabric suffolk puff 

on top of the petals, hot glue in place.

  Place a second smaller suffolk puff in place.

 Then hot glue a button of choice on the top suffolk puff.

Sew the safety pin to the back of the felt circle.

 Using a scrap of felt cut a small peice of

 felt to cover the stitching on the safety pin.

 Hot glue in place.

 This is now ready to wear when you arrive in Adelaide...

Just so we can recognise each other...

 This little brooch (a little diffrent to my one)
will be winging its way to our sewing friend who
unfortunately can't make this years
 'Let's Get Stitched' Adelaide.... look out for the mailman Melody!

 Just saying if your NOT wearing your little brooch when you arrive

 you may be doing a little jig for us all on Friday night Games night.

Beginning to get exciting!

We are getting excited about Stitching in Adelaide and there are quite a few who are coming to the weekend away.

 

One of the things that is going to happen is everyone will get a new designed pattern from each of the designers

and

I am excited to give you a sneak peek at my pattern that I will have for you all who come on the Sunday for the Stitching day.

 

 

If you like stitching and piecing then you will love this pattern. I think its adorable and can't wait to share it with you all.

 

Have you noticed a part on the blog where you can put your email address in and every time a blog post has been put up it will go to your email and you wont miss a post. Also you can follow the blog too by adding your name in the Followers box.

Use the Paypal buttons on the right hand side to pay your deposit for the Stitching Day and also the Accomadation. Dawn will keep tabs on this and will be sending out invoices soon.

So looking forward to our weekend in Adelaide.

enjoy the venue for a little while. 

 It was really nice there, just like the pictues...I am excited.

 March is very busy in Adelaide and they wanted 

to know numbers for accommodation very soon. 

If you are planning on coming and want me to book please

 let me know asap as once Adelaide Clipsal is announced
