Stitching Progress…
Although I’m deep in the throes of closing my shop, I have managed to get a little stitching in – you know how “stress-reducing” pulling a needle through canvas or fabric is! I can’t show you much but here are a few “parts” of the Mystery I’m working on. I’m about 3/4 done stitching it and can’t wait to start choosing the different colorways. Although I’m stitching mine in blues, browns, and corals, I’m imagining it in the bright fun colors I love so much.
And here’s a part of my fun colorful piece – it’s a destination but where?? Suggestions? It’s almost done but I won’t be releasing it until the first of the year – no time to write directions or release new designs for awhile…
You can probably tell by my needlepoint designs I’m an avid quilter; not necessarily an avid producer of quilts (there’s that time issue again!) but I love love love quilting. I’ve learned a lot about color & design from reading quilt books – I actually read them along with looking at the photos! Here’s one of my favorite star quilts – the blocks are four inches square.
Here’s what I did Saturday night to relax after a long busy busy week at work – cut out fabric for a quilt I’ll put together when I go to a quilting retreat in Shipshewana, Indiana in November… I go every year and am looking forward to it this year more than ever. In the meantime, I’ll be working at the shop non-stop with a few sanity breaks every night – some sort of needle to be involved!
Hope you’re stitching!
