Although there has not been much activity here on my blog, that doesn't mean it has been quiet in the Woman's Cave. There have been a number of projects completed including some UFOs as well as new starts.
There were a few personal and stitching highlights in 2019 that I think I should mention. In March I was encouraged by some fellow stitchers to enter some of my work in the Toowoomba Show for the first time. Proud to say I was awarded two 2nd places -- the Grecian Urns (cross stitch wallhanging and cushion covers) and my lovely embroidered wall hanging, On Freedoms Wings -- and one 3rd place for my patchwork placemats. There are photos in the page entitled Projects in 2019 in the menu bar above, along with many other projects for 2019.

But my major stitching highlight for the year was when I was given the opportunity to display some of my embroidery work in the display cabinet at the Toowoomba Branch of the Queensland Embroiderers Guild for two months. Wow! A great personal achievement since I have only been a member and started my embroidery journey only 8 years ago when I turned 60 years of age.
Looking back on my photos I was very surprised at the amount of projects I had either completed, started, or worked on in 2019. No wonder I missed the blog posts.
As there were so many photos I have added a page in the menu bar above with a rather large selection for you to view if you are interested in seeing my work from 2019.
I have some very different projects to work on in 2020 and with the current global pandemic forcing us to "hibernate" for a few months there will be no travelling for us so there will be more time to spend in the Woman's Cave .
Stay safe and happy stitching everyone.
