A great time was had last week while visiting my good friend. We accomplished alot of fun little projects, stitched, laughed, watched old movies, and even finished her quilt! The men were having a great time doing all kinds of manly things, fishing, gardening, going to the home improvement store, and lots of other fun things.
We made this quilt top last fall, had it quilted over the Holidays, and this week, the binding was complete. Do you love it?!!! She did a fabulous job and I am so excited to see this beauty in her house!!
Even this fellow loves it!!!!!!!!
I had this furry friend sitting next to me all week on the couch while stitching and sewing. Just likes lounging next to you, keeps you warm :)
I purchased a piece of 52/60 Lakeside linen in Vintage Sand Dune over at the Attic a few weeks back and started the new Traveling Stitcher Ane Kirstine Larsen-- you know the one with the fabulous rooster??? Boy, I have never used the tudor silks or this count linen, but I tell you what, it is fabulous!!! I am hooked!!!! LOL
Not much to show, but its something, the border color is almost tone on tone, but in certain lights, it really pops. The letter M is so tiny!! I think the entire sampler is going to be something like 6 x 8". Can you just imagine?!!!!! It is sooo stinkin cute!! The Attic had a few models hanging on the wall in this 52/60 and I am so crazy (you can take that statement either way!! LOL) about how small they really are!!! I know for the few of you that have been working on this linen, you know exactly what I mean!!!
Now stitching on 45ct, its almost burlap!!!! LOL. Not quite like the 40ct, but its a really big difference. Even the feel of the linen is different. I really want to get SDW complete, which is a good thing, it has been long enough!
So the bottom pic is where I left off last night, and I can feel the final stretch of the church approaching this week. I want to get to those trees!!! LOL. Its something how this project is now all I want to focus on, its about time.
Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful week :)
