Not just one but FIVE of these very handy project bags. You see Vonna knows me quite well and knows I have way too many WIPs…haha. Now I have a home for some of them!

Here is what I will be stitching on next

I must get started on a High School graduation quilt for my cousin's son. This is a greg quilt for a guy and it can be completed relatively quickly.  The digital pattern can be purchased through Fons and Porter HERE.

Lastly, I got my cast off…


Thank you very much for all of the well wishes!

Thanks for stopping by...
Until next time ~

You have some very lucky friends, Marie--your gifts both given and received are so wonderfully stitched and finished!

So glad the cast is off--I can't imagine having one on, especially in the winter in New England :)

I love your ornaments! The finishing is beautiful! I hope well for your leg!

Brigitte said...

What a pleasure to go through this post and look at and admire all the wonderful ornaments you show here. I love them all, the ones you received and the ones you made for your friends. Such great stitching and finishing. And you have my throrough admiration when it comes to stitching ten angels for friends. And they all look gorgeous.

This quilt that you will be sewing has absolutely great colours, all these blues are beautiful together. I have a similar pattern from a book and it is sitting on my shelf and I always want to start it. Maybe when I see your progress I get motivated enough.

Good to read that the cast is off, But you certainly have to be careful for a while.
