Like a Squirrel Gathering Nuts .....

I gathered a couple of little unfinished projects in anticipation of the 2-10 inches of snow they were forecasting. The snow pretty much missed us but I managed to finish my gathered projects anyway.

 This is a Crabapple Hill Design.  I absolutely loved their designs and have done my part to keep their company going.

This is a close up view where the pattern called for french knots, I added beads instead.

This little number was supposed to be an ornament.  I added sand and wool in to inside and mine will be used for a paperweight, or pin cushion or something.

This crazy quilt mitten I started last year and for some reason never finished it. Perhaps every time they forecast snow I'll finish three projects, but for every three I finish I start four more so I'll always have plenty to choose from. The mitten is an ornament and much smaller than it appears.

Redwork Snowmen Done

I finished the red work stitching on the snowmen wall hanging and I can already see that Lucy is going to be very helpful.

Fun with Friends

Yesterday Jeanette and I went to Kathy's house to work some more on our Snowmen projects. We toured her beautiful yard and I was so in awe of her flowers I didn't even think to take pictures.
Jeanette brought show and tell, she has been a busy little beaver.
This is a pillow case, she made a pair of them, aren't they gorgeous?

And how cute is this quilt?
Then we had a wonderful lunch, again no pictures, but then we got down to some serious work.Kathy has been a real over achiever as she had finished six of the twelve blocks.




Kathy wrote about it on her blog too. I think the real party started after I left. Is that a wine glass I see in the center picture? You can check it out here.

Journey of the Ark

This is the second block for the Journey to the Ark wall hanging. The first block can be seen here.

Journey of the Ark

This is my latest project. I love working on it and it's such a great take along project. I don't need any equipment, beads or lace, I only need the piece of fabric I'm working on and one color embroidery thread. There are a total of nine blocks, I put them on osnaburg fabric and am using brown embroidery thread.

Summer Pears

These are Summer Pears by Crabapple-HillStudio. I don't really have a plan for them, they were just fun to do.
