I received this cross stitch kit from a friend for Christmas...this is the first time I have cross stitched on perforated paper. I had to sort all the threads out first before starting to stitch. It doesn't look like much yet.
I have made two knitted poppies for the Remembrance Day project. Others have made dozens...don't forget I am a very slow knitter!
I have fabrics picked out for another Folk Art Doll. I hope to get this cut out this weekend and sew it next week.
I decided to add 2.5" sashing between my chain link blocks. I tweaked the layout on the design wall and set to work adding sashing and corners. The diagonal rows are sewn together. The setting triangles are cut out and just needed to be added before I sew the rows together. It should not take too long to do this. I am aiming for a single bed sized quilt. I will have to see if I need a border after this part is together.
I started reading the latest 44 Scotland Street series book this week. I have enjoyed this series and its quirky characters.
Finn finds his bed a very comfy place to nap. He loves a fluffy blanket.
Our local ice cream place opened this past week so we took a trip over to sample their wares. Finn is a big fan of a trip to Shaw's. He had a very small amount of vanilla ice cream in that big bowl. You would not have known that there was ever ice cream in the bowl when he was done!
You know Spring is almost here when Shaw's is open for the season!
I will link up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers as well as Frederique.
