My Stitching Update

Good Morning Everyone!!!

The new year is here and has started out pretty good!

Every one is in good health!

And I have had plenty of time for stitching!

Sit back and enjoy what I have worked on since my last post.

I have the beads on one of the Kings, and I didn't get this done before Christmas like I had hoped, maybe by this Christmas.

Well that's about it for stitching so I will leave you with a picture of one of the Christmas present that I bought for the family to share

Yep we have a drone (not a big fanny one) but it will take video's and pictures. 

The boys are loving it!!!

I tried to attach a video but it wouldn't work for me so you have to settle for a picture.

Time to get myself motivated and get something accomplished before I head to work.

Have a great day everyone!

Happy Stitching

Good Evening Everyone!

Today was a warm one so I was inside most of this afternoon. I got my mowing done this morning while it was still comfortable outside.

In my last post I told you all about our medical stuff going on and I am happy to report that everyone is on the mend and feeling much better. My husband and grandson still have some healing to do but they are doing great.

Our 4th of July was spent at a small town celebration - we have attended this celebration for about 10 years. And our whole family usually attends

Now on to some of my stitching projects that I have worked on.

I worked on Woodland folks a little bit and then decided I needed to enlarge the chart so I could see it better. But here is a picture of my progress so far.

all the grass is done

started on the wooden log

While I was waiting to get the chart enlarged I worked on Prairie Gardens

 

As you can see I had a lot more completed on this square but miscounted and I just could not make it work with out pulling out all the stitches and start over on it. I have it all frogged and started over, this time I started on the bottom of the square. That seems to work the best for me.

The other thing that I worked on was some Christmas Wreaths & Stars Quilt blocks

January, February, & March Blocks

January - Bear Paw Wreath

February - Snowflake Star

March - Pinwheel Wreath

Well that is about it for me tonight - time to get ready for bed
I hope everyone enjoys there Sunday!
Happy Stitching

Quick update

Good morning everyone!

Here is a picture of my progress on Prairie Garden.

I will be starting the flowers in the second square this morning. 

I am hoping this post turns out ok. I am using my daughters iPad to see if I want to get one for myself. So far I am loving it.

Well nothing else to report today so I'm going to get to stitching.

Happy Stitching
