Hi friends! We are still below freezing at night here. No seedlings set out yet.
Our friend Christina(no blog) received the gift I made up for her. She shared pink goodness with me for the charm quilt.
I used fabrics from my stash. The "C" and the spool are stitched one over one on 28ct white evenweave. The sweet, little spool is a freebie you can find right
HERE.
This is the latest pink motif I have stitched on my chocolate linen.
Very hard for me to see with our overcast days this week. And stitching at night on this linen is impossible for me. Until I thought of putting my Mighty Bright light BEHIND the linen. This works! Maybe you all knew this and I am a dunce. Don't know. Just happy to have time to stitch on this again.
I got the second poodle groomed. :)
Still reading the Bible every day. This has left me with no time for fiction reading. That's okay. I have time for that, soon I hope.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie
Stitching looks lovely and I'm sure spring is just around the corner.

What a smart idea on the light behind the linen!!! I'm going to have to try that with the dark linens. Love the latest gift. And Mabel looks such a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe pink motif reminds me of my sister's quilting pattern, Dresden Plate.
ReplyDeleteIt has suddenly turned very cold here at night, too! We've had strange weather and it's given me a horrid headache. Change in the barometric pressure, I suppose. I love your projects - especially that pink on the chocolate fabric! What a great idea to put your light behind it...I never thought of that either, so very thankful for the idea! You do such a great job of grooming your sweet poodles. They are so adorable! Have a very blessed weekend!

Another really cute bookmark! Teensy tiny stitches... And I really love the pink quaker-ish motif on the brown fabric! One of my favorite combinations. That is a good quote... heard it plenty before! Trying to catch up on blogs today... Hugs!
