Heart in Hand 2004 Christmas Keepsake Ornament


Quaker Christmas


Sanibel canvas

My plan this month was to work on Not For Us Alone, but early in the month, I picked up Quaker Christmas and kept going.  It's nice not having to change thread colors all the time and I feel I've accomplished something each time I finish a motif.  The Sanibel canvas may be finished this weekend as we are making a short trip and have a five hour drive to get to our destination.  That's the perfect time to do the basketweave for the background.

Lots of things have been happening at my house, including my son's acceptance to graduate school and my daughter's preparations to study abroad for the entire year.  Somehow they seem to need my attention just when I'm ready to sit down to stitch.  I do have some quilting progress to show and will post that when I get back after the weekend.  Hope everyone is staying cool this summer!

  2. Is that you looking slightly demented in the previous post, lol? No, definitely no clearing out while family are around, absolutely NO need for them to know the extent of your stash......
    I love mono stitching, I had to make a small gift for a friend and instead of finding the four or five threads required I used a lovely Waterlilies, finished in half the time!
