Several projects to update on…….

I have a whole bunch of photos to share on some of the little projects that I’ve been working on. 

A couple of years ago my dear friend gave me a little birdhouse pattern for cross stitch. I found it all finished the other day and decided to finish it up. I made a mini wallhanging and thought I would add a stick under the birdhouse for effect!

I am participating in a round robin on my Quilting group and here is a photo of Joanne’s Turtle block. I just added my round. The blue plaid, green squares and turtle squares. It is looking very cute.

In a special December Secret Sister swap I received a little kit to learn redwork. I am having such fun stitching up this preprinted little “Home is where the heart is” Stitchery.

I am all caught up on my Quiltalong blocks! Until tomorrow anyway! So quilters, what colour would you do the sashing when they are done??

I found a lovely little freebie cross stitch pattern from

You can find the pattern here:

I have kitted it up (with a few colour substitutions as I didn’t have them all) I am going to start this one this evening!

I am finished my coasters for the IbbyBee Coaster swap! Here are the coasters I have completed for my partner. I did 4 different herb drawings and stitched them. They are then quilted and I used a peach coloured backing for them to blend with the blue/peach flowers on the front.  I think they turned out very sweet. In the next few days they will go out in the mail and head very , very far away!

One last little update picture. Here is a little Prairie Schooler freebie that I started last Sunday. I am making it into a little bookmark. I used my own colours as I didn’t have what they recommended.

Whew, funny, I felt like I got nothing done in the way of stitching and quilting this week, however, when you put it all down in print you realize that you made some progress after all!
