A Round Robin

A couple of years ago we talked about doing a Round Robin at our Thursday stitching group and so I was elected to pick out the first one. This is mine...I picked out the freebie International bears and we all stitched one. When they were done I put it together as a lap quilt...My first attempt at that as well.
I am so proud of this piece! It is on the bed all the time so I can see it every day.

This week I stitched a few stitches on a few pieces! Not much to show. That is why I showed the quilt.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and stitch with happy fingers.

A little more SAL on Tour

Yesterday I was a day late with my Tour des Marques SAL. But last night I put in 3 hrs. I vegged in front of the TV and got caught up on the new shows. with needle in hand so it was good.
I'm really impressed with a show called Tudors...But it is on CBC so I don't know if it is in the USA.
There is a link for it HERE if you want to find out more.





The colors are changing very fast and I like the yellow as well as the reds.
I'm going to try to stitch this afternoon on my Christmas..M designs.
There is a new blog to check out if you are interested, It is a SAL blog called The Snowird's Blog


Stitch with happy fingers all.

Castle progress again

Well it's been a lovely long weekend for us Canadians...Thanksgiving...I hope those of you in Canada that celebrated had a great time!
It hard to believe we had 27*C weather almost all weekend. Hot and Humid!
The family was here for dinner yesterday, so not a lot of stitching, But Sat. I managed to do a whole lot of back stitching on the Castle.
I'm almost 3/4's done.
Today I was away all day so I'm tired and off to bed soon.
Hope you all have a great day.

Wow !!! What a surprise

Wow ,,, when I came home from work this evening I had a surprise waiting for me!!!
Christin has once again enabled me. And sent a wonderful gift.
A package of specialty thread for a SAL that we will be starting on Jan.01/08.
I am overwhelmed by her Generosity . The threads are lovely.

Thank you so much Christin!!!

I have added a photo of the chart I purchased.this summer..It is the MOONLIGHT GUARDIAN by Dragon Dreams. Isn't he cute I love Dragons so it will be so much fun.
I'm off to work on Lucky my TW castle so it will be finished before I start this one.

Does it look like a Teapot?

This afternoon was our stitching afternoon at Knowledge and Needles. We had a very good time as usual. good laughs and good company.
This week I actually got some stitching done on my teapot. I do believe that it looks like one don't you???
I have to work tomorrow so have a good night all.

Yippee. I got it.

Yesterday I went to Kingston to help my DSIL clean up some things at our Aunts house. So I took the opportunity to go to Chapters. I was so happy to find the ornament magazine. We have been looking for it for weeks.
I picked up an Extra one for Kathy as she is away. I would never live it down if I only bought one...LOLNot having been able to do much stitching yesterday I thought I would share this piece with you.
I stitched it last year for Halloween.
I did a bit of quilted finish on It. I'm not much of a quilter but I enjoyed doing this !!!!
I found the chart in an older magazine. [Maybe a year or two.] I'm sure I can find it if I need to.

The weather today is so nice 24*C and a nice breeze. Hard to believe it's October.
Well have a great day everyone and Stitch with happy fingers.

SAL on the tower

Today was a productive day. Sometimes you just have to relax and today was a day for that. Other than the regular housework and laundry thing...I had a great day.
Thank you all for your comments. I had too much on my plate. I am getting back on track and the Tour des Marques is one thing that was neglected. I managed to put a few stitches on it and I enjoyed it a lot.

The Halloween is a piece that my Mom did and I finished it for her yesterday. I love how it turned out.!!!
I do most of her finishes for her now. It's easier for me here at home. Her room is small so all the finishing supplies are stored here. I laced this and put quilting batting under it and covered the back with Mat board added the ribbon to hang it before I put the back on.

She Hangs these on her door at the retirement center where she lives and people are always looking for a new piece.
It is so nice to hear from you and I look forward to your comments. Have a great day and stitch with happy fingers.
