The pretty Japanese fabric in this coat hanger below is one of my absolute favourites! I thought long and hard whether I would give some away to make this sweet project for donation. Common sense won - what is the point in dying and leaving this earth with a lot of pretty fabric still in your drawers??? The hanger was sold on the first day it was in the shop, and then the buyer put in a request for me to make another one exactly the same!!! She gave hers to her mother for Mothers' Day and now wants one of her own!
I haven't done a lot of stitching in the last month. Our Church is having a weekend of celebrations at the end of this month/beginning of June to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. We've had a great Committee putting the weekend together, planning a Dinner, an Op Shop Bonanza, Sausage Sizzle, Dedication of a Prayer Garden, High Tea, Sunday Service of Thanksgiving, a luncheon and celebratory cake!
I wasn't on the Committee so just expected that as Secretary, I would be finding and distributing information, historical documents, photos etc. It didn't quite end up that way! The writing of the Historical Booklet ended up on my plate, lots of hours editing a Historical Powerpoint Show followed, then I was plunged quite out of my depth when I was asked to edit a half-hour Video, something that is definitely not on my list of skills! Thankfully I think everything is all in place now, with the celebrations starting in just 5 days.
I'm looking forward to being in my much more comfortable space of embroidery and stitching again!
