Making Progress




It has been a couple of days since I have posted. I am making progress on my new quilt. I have three of the four blocks completed.

I have also started working on the Beatrix Potter SAL as you can see I do not have too much doneI will be away from the computer for a couple of days. My husband and I are taking a much needed get-away. We are going to the hill country of Texas. I will take some pictures so you can see just how pretty this area is.

Til next time.

Moving On





This week has been filled with chores, errands and appointments. But I have managed to get a few things done.






I finshed this sampler at long last. I feel like I have been working on it since 1870. It was lost for awhile, but now it ready to go to the framer.



As I mentioned before, I am starting a stitch along and I am ready to go.



In the meantime I did get my fabric cut and started making some of the blocks for my new quilt.
So, I can work on it while I am waiting for the balance of the fabric to arrive. I guess I should get off this computer and get to work.

Plan B


Yesterday, I measured twice and I cut once, but I forgot that the fabric was doubled! So I had to reorder. Since I always have another project waiting in the wings, I will be working on this. It is Frost on the Ferns from the book "When the Cold Wind Blows" by Barb Adams and Alma Allen of Blackbird Designs. http://www.pickledish.com/
This month I also plan to start two sampler stitch alongs.

That's it for now I am off to the needlework shop to buy supplies. Have a great day!
