About Me- Bird on the Border

My Photo
We have a wonderful son who has just married and I now have a wonderful daughter in law. So nice to have another girl in the family. My wonderful husband and I both work full time. We enjoy travelling ,going in our caravan, dining out and spending time with friends and visiting our children. Oh shouldn't forget "Tess" the spoilt black kelpie. I love anything country and Shabby Chic and I love patchwork and stitching and getting together with like minded ladies who love to do the same. I love catching up with friends over a cup of coffee , and the smell of biscuits cooking in the oven on a rainy day. I enjoy keeping in touch with friends I have met through blogging and sharing our sewing on line. I love going off on stitching retreats and quilting weekends with my quilting buddy Gail. And of course I love the birds in my garden. I also write the blog for our local quilt group Macintyre Quilters.

Christmas Gifts


Last week the girls in our sewing group met for Christmas celebrations.  Look at these cute sewing things I was given. I am so spoilt by my friends.  


Thread catcher. mini pin cushion for those Janet Daley projects, quilt pegs and mock antique scissors. 
This little crochet thimble is so fine and devine 











I will now take the time to say Merry Christmas to you all. All the family are home so I think my chances of blogging over the next few days are  slim. I hope you all enjoy your Christmas with those you love. I hope the weather is as you want it to be and Santa comes to you all . 

PS. Looking forward to opening my SSCS.....and to seeing what you all received from your Secret Santas.
