I've made a lot of progress on the February cross stitch in the last week. I finished the windows - the pattern called for dark windows, but I wanted my house to be lit up and homey. So I changed to a pale yellow. It's so pale that it blends a bit too much with the white curtains, but I'm leaving it as is. I also finished the big urn and the flowers and greenery.
I still have to finish the mortar between the bricks and the front door. There is also a small bird to stitch above the large urn and flowers.
Above the house I added a golf club and golf ball to personalize it for Hubby - these were my own design.
Well....I'm almost finished with THREE quilt tops! Cheddar Bow Ties, Casserole, and the Open Envelopes quilt (this top is complete already). I still have UFO's on my list to work on, but of course I started thinking about other quilts I could make.
I want to make some scrappy quilts! I treated myself to the above book. There are several quilts inside I want to make.
I love this one - especially the look of adding the striped fabric!
I also like this Christmas quilt - the green tones really appeal to me.
Here's another one - love this, though I'm not ready for more half square triangles just yet.
I think this beauty would be nice in orange and blue with white. Of course, I do!
I love this one too! I so enjoyed making my courthouse steps quilt and I can see doing this one scrappy.
Have I mentioned how many of the quilts I love! Yes, another one that would be fun to make!
This quilt (Forever Friends) is why I bought the book. I read this blog post about it. The post included helpful hints. This is not the same as Bonnie Hunter's Around the World pattern. I have so many strips already cut in my stash - so this will use a lot of them.
Do you think I have enough quilts ahead in my future??? Haha!
What do you do when you hit the 40 pounds of weight loss mark??? Well, Hubby and I went out to dinner last night. An Italian restaurant! And we shared a dessert! I certainly can't do this every day, or even every week...but I can still splurge every once in a while.
Continue to stay safe!
You have certainly been busy. And deserving of a treat!

ReplyDeleteHACK VANISH RECOVERED MY LOST 19.78 BITCOIN AND AIDED ME FIX MY CREDIT REPORT
ReplyDeleteIn Dec, 2021, I invested the sum of 19.78 BTC with a fake blockchain impostor I met online, all the money I had saved up since 2014 got stolen just within a Month, my whole life almost crumbled, to crown it all my FICO score was so bad that I couldn't even afford securing a loan to help my kids, but everything became better after I joined a forum online where I met people testifying about HACK VANISH, a hacker who has been helping thousands of people all over the world. I decided to reach out to him via the following contact shared on the platform Text/Call/WhatsApp: + 1 (747) 293-8514, Email: hackvanish@ gmail. Com, they responded and requested for all necessary details needed in carrying out my JOB, to my greatest surprise my bitcoin was recovered and my credit report fixed, FICO score was boosted to 783 across all 3-credit bureau's, all negative items cleared just within 8 days. I can't stop expressing my profound gratitude to this great team of hackers, I strongly recommend them to anyone in need.
