24.01.2022 Hello! Hello! Or should I say ... "Happy Christmas" ! I've just shared my block for the Christmas Stitchalong ... & I'm EXCITED!! I have a confession to make ... I don't actually DO Christmas. I might put a tree up, but I actually don't fuss much with Christmas. So, I struggled a bit with designing a Christmas block to start with ... Especially a 4" block! ... Until I found these GORGEOUS Tilda fabrics in aqua & French red. You can download the free block from the bu...tton on the sidebar of my blog (which FB won't let me type, but you can google! ) or find it over on the LAHFA page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/557658171771760/ If you're looking for a fun way to use your 4" blocks AND get ahead with making Christmas gifties, I've designed a Stitcher's version of "choose your own adventure" ... Four Christmas themed stitcheries, four quick, fun projects that will help you spread Christmas cheer that can be mixed & matched. Patterns & kits are available from The Quilters Angel, so I hope you have fun playing with my block & that you remember to share the love, joy & hope of Christmas all year round! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx (PS there's a giveaway to celebrate my block & pattern launch, over on my blog. ) Kit: Kit - https://www.quiltersangel.com.au//pro/christmas-cuties-kit Pattern: https://www.quiltersangel.com.au//pro/christmas-cuties-set See more
24.01.2022 We're on the count down to one of my FAVOURITE events of the year ...Stitchers Dream Day Out, hosted by the Marvellous Marion Marshall & Stupendous Steph Marshall of The Quilters Angel. And the best part ... Unlike SOOOOOO many other events this year, it's GOING AHEAD FULL STEAM!! WOO! HOO! Marion & Steph have worked hard to put every possible Covid safety strategy in place to ensure we have a safe weekend full of all the fun, friendship & stitching we've come to enjoy. Th...ere are still a few places left, so if you're a QLD stitcher needing a weekend of fun with like-minded ladies (we will miss our interstate friends this year, but, boy, will we party next time we can gather! ) pop over to the QA website quickly to secure your spot. I'm looking forward to catching up with stitching buddies ... I'll even share the "Naughty Table" if you'd like! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx https://www.quiltersangel.com.au//stitchers-dream-day-out- See more
23.01.2022 Happy Tuesday to you all! I hope you're all enjoying some creative time. Since we've been distracting ourselves from the craziness that is 2020 with Christmassy craftiness, I thought I'd introduce you to one of Santa's 'beary' cute elf helpers. This is Holly. She is dressed for the festive season in her pretty rouched party dress decorated with the holly leaves & button berries she's named for & her felt curly-toed shoes. She'll be all you want for Christmas! Finished size: 21 (53cm) If you'd like to create your 'beary' own Christmas helper, you can purchase a pattern for "Holly Bear" from The Quilters Angel website. Happy 'Holly' days. In the meantime, take care, stay well, keep stitching & keep smiling! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx https://www.quiltersangel.com.au//doll/products/holly-bear
22.01.2022 I know 2020 has been a mixed up kinda year, but now our seasons seem to have muddled themselves up. We went from lovely Spring days with temperatures in the mid to high 20's to today ... A "feels like" temperature of FIVE degrees with 50km/hr gusty winds! EEP! Spring! Come back!! And since you know how much my Beloved Geek Boy & I LOOOOOOVE cold weather - NOT!! - we're snuggled down in front of a fave movie ... Or two ... Or three. Can you guess what we're watching? Some Secret Squirrel stitching to keep my hands occupied & it's not a bad way to ride out a weird weather swing ... Though I hope Spring returns soon! What are YOU up to today? Whatever it is, I hope you're keeping safe & well. I'm off to keep stitching & helping to save the universe. Til next time ... MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU! CHEERS! KRIS xx
21.01.2022 Hello all! I hope you're well & enjoying the start to your week. I confess to facing Monday in a chirpier frame of mind than usual today ... Probably because I'm on holiday! GB & I enjoyed a weekend in the Sunshine Coast hinterland ... Which was quite a bit warmer than our 'hilltop' home. But it was home today ... & the fire was lit tonight ... BRRR! Perfect weather for stitching in front of a movie, so I unpacked my sewing bag I took with me for the weekend ... It's my "Life Is Good" pattern. A large tote bag featuring an ideal garden nook stitchery, this bag fits so much sewing paraphernalia in it! And the pattern includes several smaller pouches to keep your goodies safe. Patterns are available from The Quilters Angel. Have a great week! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx https://www.quiltersangel.com.au/prod/life-is-good-bag-set
19.01.2022 Greetings to you all from the windblown top of our 'hill' this blustery, wintery Sunday morning. It's 10 degrees here with a "feels like" temperature of 2 degrees & we have 50km/hr south-westerlies blowing snowfield chills our way ... BRRRRR! So ... I'm spending the day designing & stitching. If you're looking for quick, fun projects to make, Steph & Marion at The Quilters Angel have patterns for my "Christmas Cuties" projects waiting to help you get ahead with your Christm...as gifties & there are still some kits left in these GORGEOUS Tilda aquas & reds ... But hurry, because I love them so much I might beat you to them! Wherever you are, whatever your weather, it's always a great day to stitch, so stay safe, stay well, keep stitching & keep smiling! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx https://www.quiltersangel.com.au//pro/christmas-cuties-set https://www.quiltersangel.com.au//pro/christmas-cuties-kit See more

16.01.2022 Hello everyone! I hope you're keeping safe & well. I'm contemplating endings & beginnings tonight ... When I really should be going to sleep! GB & I have run out of our break (ending) & Spring is hinting that it's almost here (beginning). I've just posted over on the blog to share the winners from my "Christmas Cuties" pattern prize draw & share the sneaky-peeky below. It's still Secret Squirrel, but all will be revealed soon. Have a fantastic week ...& here's hoping the approaching change of season brings us all a fresh outlook on life. Stay safe, stay well, keep stitching & keep smiling! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx

11.01.2022 Hello, hello! How are you all? I hope you're having a fantastic week. Mine has been a bit muddly, but today I'm taking advantage of a grey, overcast day-off-Friday to make a new sample for my "Vintage Diva Backpack". A cup of mango tea & a fave movie to keep me company while I wait with great anticipation for some much-needed rain & I'm set. How's YOUR Friday shaping up? Whatever you're up to, stay safe, keep stitching & keep smiling! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx https://www.quiltersangel.com.au/pro/vintage-diva-backpack
10.01.2022 Happy Weekend, everyone! It's a long weekend here in Queensland for the Queen's Birthday ... Don't get me started on the ridiculous habit state governments seem to have of juggling public holidays for political reasons! On the positive side, that gives me an extra day to play with some designing, which is good, since I find myself facing a N.W.S.A. Project ... You know ... Not Working - Start Again! I like both elements of the stitchery I'm designing ... Just not together. Back to re-trace & re-think thread colours. Hope you're planning some creative time, too. Stay safe, stay well, keep stitching & keep smiling! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx
08.01.2022 Hello! Hello! Sorry I've been a bit AWOL from catching up with my online friends. It's been a hectic few weeks here at the Meares' Madhouse. But I wasn't too busy to take the weekend off to play at Stitchers Dream Day Out hosted by the Marvellous Marion & Stupendous Steph of The Quilters Angel. Around 150 lovely stitchers, lots of yummy fabrics, four project patterns designed especially for the day by Debbie McGee & Nikki Tervo, friends to catch up with, new friends to be made ... Why wouldn't you book now for next year?! Lots more pics & chat over on the blog. And some exciting news to share soon, so stay tuned!! Stay safe, stay well, keep stitching & keep smiling! Bear Hugs! KRIS xx
06.01.2022 I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited to be invited to be one of the guest designers for this fantastic event! Put it in your diaries & come along for a fantastic day of friendship, food, fabric & stitching. Bear Hugs! KRIS xx
01.01.2022 Mondays can be a bit of a drag, can't they? The start of the working week when I have to head off to my grown up job so I can keep supplying my fabric addiction. To brighten up Monday, I thought I'd share a splash of sunshine with you. "Spread Sunshine" includes instructions to make a large tote bag & matching tablet pouch featuring sunshiny stitcheries. This was the pattern I designed for Girls Stitch In back in March & a limited number of kits in these GORGEOUS Tilda fabrics are still available from the Quilters Angel if you'd like to remind yourself that if you spread sunshine (kindness, caring), you gather flowers (love). Keep stitching & keep smiling. Bear Hugs! KRIS xx https://www.quiltersangel.com.au/produ/spread-sunshine-kit
