SALs

Hi friends! How are you today? I hope all is well. I have been working on an applique quilt. The piecing is all done. I need to baste the top, batting and backing together next.

I forgot to show you my PSS SAL. I got this stitched up right away on Sunday. ;)

I have been stitching away on the Barbara Ana SAL too. Just take a look.

I took this picture yesterday afternoon. Sorry Vicki, Annette and Donna, but I finished it last night!! I just enjoyed this stitch so much. So you might wonder why I showed you a picture of it unfinished? Well there are two things more I added to it after this picture. And they are both my own little changes. Stay tuned! ;) I will be back next time with a picture of it all finished up into a pinkeep.(Remember, I stitched mine all over one!)

The geraniums are still bright and beautiful.
The dahlias are still blooming too. I bought two varieties of dinner plate dahlia tubers this spring on clearance, for a few dollars. This is one of them, the first to bloom.
It measures almost 9 inches across. It is the same size as a paper plate.♥

Brian bought me this little apricot glass poodle thimble. Henry is apricot and I do not have any apricot poodles in my collection.
Have a stitchtastic day my friends! I thank God for YOU!!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie
