Weekend Wrap Up

This week I finished stitching Winter Fling by Heart in Hand.

He was fun and a great lunchtime/travel project.  For now I've put it on my sewing table.  One night next week I hope to get this turned into a little pillow for the basket.

Yesterday I went to my LQS named At Piece Quiltery.  I was in search of a project to welcome a new little girl into this world.  They had just what I was looking for.  Yesterday I began the stem stitching.  I will share more about this project when I get it finished.  I will say that after doing so much cross stitch I found it quite relaxing to stitch without a chart and to turn my fabric to make it easier to stitch.

I took Baby Girl back to Temple in Philadelphia today.  It will be quiet without her here again.

Have a great week.

Keep on Stitching!

Sunday Summary

I finished stitching Sampler Months - January on Saturday night.  I wasn't able to sleep due to a three hour nap in the afternoon.   Here it is with the stitching finished. 

Sunday afternoon I finished it into this little pillow.  I had thought I would use the green snowman fabric when I first started the stitching.  I am happy with the way this turned out. 

 Except that when I put in the intended basket it looked a little lonely.  See what I mean?

So I headed to the attic and found this other bigger pillow that I had finished years ago.  Still not the look I want but it's a bit better.

Then I decided to look through the box of shame and I found the following pieces which I can finish sometime soon to add to the basket.

Then I needed a new lunchtime/travel project.  So I started Winter Fling by Heart in Hand.  This one will be a quick stitch.  I had to make myself stop stitching on this.  I hope to make some more progress on this at lunchtime this week.

Have a great week!

Keep on Stitching!
