An Update

Hi everyone.

I hope you all have had a great couple of weeks. I haven't been able to spend much time (really any time) catching up on everyone's blogs lately. Things have been a little hectic at work.

I was able to finish stitching Mikey Jr.'s name piece. Now I just need to cut the fabric and start piecing the quilt together. I really like the way the colors look.

My plan is to use the fabrics below in his quilt.  I really like how these colors look together. I hope that they look as good once they are sewn together. I think I need to pick up at least one or two more pieces of fabric this weekend. I love these colors but the pattern I want to do needs at least one or two more.

I was also able to finally finish White Willow's Tribal Sand Dollar. I did change the colors up just a little, but it does look pretty good. I was having a hard time trying to finish this one. I think it is because I had just finished the Tribal Pumpkin and I was using too much of the same color. I am so glad that it is finished.

I finally received part 3 of Lizzie Kate's Things Unseen Mystery Sampler and am enjoying working on it again. I forgot to take a picture of it when I moved the hoop last night. Am about 1/2 way done with the stitching in part 3 and will just need to add the embellishments. That will be a first for me. Hope it will go as smooth as the rest of the piece. :)

I haven't really been in the mood to stitch much this week because I have gotten caught up in a book series. Hopefully I will have another finish this weekend.

Ta Ta for now,

Hi everyone!

This has been a busy month! I have decided to go participate in Stitch from Stash again this year and hope to finish some of the many projects I have kitted up ready and waiting for some attention. Let's get the details out of the way first:

Month: January
Spent: $6.50
Finished $8.00

On to a great start!

I can't remember, but I think I may have mentioned that my oldest daughter was expecting. This month he decided to show up weighing in at 6lbs 12oz and 20 inches long he is such a cutie!! I wasn't able to be there when he was born (we live in different states). I have made plans to go and spend a week in March. I can't wait!!

Momma and baby doing great!!

 .
So to do something crafty for her {cause that's how we roll ;-) } I started making the centerpiece for a quilt (from a Precious Moments Alphabet booklet) that will include his birth details and in other areas of the quilt, a mini family tree. My goal is to have the completed baby quilt done before I go to see her and the baby.

My first finish of 2015. This is called Stitcher's Brew by Little River on a piece of 28ct Jobelan Odyssey by Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie. I saw this fabric on her sight last year during a sale and knew that this pattern purchased the month before would look great on it. Of course, when I kitted this I didn't realize that Needle necessities was a thread brand so I changed it to DMC 920 and WDW Daylily to give the effect I was looking for. Of course the bat buttons are missing but that can always be added later if I really want to but I like the way it turned out. I purchased the pattern on a whim last June and finally got around to working on it.

This has been my bring to work piece, but I have put it aside for the moment until I can finish the birth record for my grandson. I hope to have this finished next month. :) 

I am so sorry that I have not posted much. Work has been a bear with year end and the new boss. I spend so much time on the computer at work that I don't want to go home and deal with a slow connection at home. So instead I stitch or take a night off and read. On top of stitching from stash more this year I want to make posting and catching up on everyone a higher priority.

Ta Ta for now,
