A Bit of Stitching~

Sorry I haven't been posting much~ I'm in a slump.  :-/  I do have a few finishes to share though~

I got my table runner finished from the BE Mine Blog Tour. Sherri shared this pattern.  If you didn't make it around to see all the great projects in the tour~ there is still time before Valentine's day! :-)  I just loved the runner and tree skirt that Kim from Kim's Big Quilting Adventure presented.  I plan to make them too. ;-)

I also finished my Mon Ami for this month. The pattern is a wall hanging by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co and is the Le Petite project for January. Well, I made the stars and then just couldn't help myself!  :-o  I saw placemats! LOL I made 3 inch stars and I still have a few left~ I'm thinking hot pad or mini wall hanging to go with my placemats~?  Gosh, I hope they don't kick me out of Le Petite for changing it so much! :-o



What are you working on? I need my mojo back!  I did manage to make a couple string blocks for a swap~ but there is so much more I need to do!~ :-/

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

You may be in a slump but you sure are getting a lot finished. I love the place mats and the table runner. I've been in a slump too but certainly haven't been as productive as you. I think it's coming off the holiday high.

Don't be so hard on yourself! The placemats, table runner and string projects are all beautiful and don't look too slumpy to me.

You've been very productive however I think your 'slump' is simply the lack of something that will make your heart sing. You need a project that's just for fun. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. :-)

For someone who's in a slump, you're getting a heck of a lot done.

It's been interesting this week to find out just how many others are feeling the same way, I thought it was just me!

Slump? Naaaahhh... you just need a "retreat." ;-)
I am recovering! Not nearly enough sleep, you know.

Great job on the table runner... and love the placemats. Just think! You are ahead of the May, June, July holiday decorating! And the strings! Love those, too.

Happy... what day is this? Thursday? Happy Thursday!

Love the placemat idea. Fun twist on the pattern. Glad you're sewing a little even if you feel in a slump :)

You hope they don't kick you out? Well shucks friend, that'll never happen. You crack everyone up wayyy too much. You're fun! I love your little stars and the placemats. How cute!!!!

I really love those red, white and blue string blocks and the placemats, too.

Those placemats are darling! Love the scrappy look. What a good last-minute gift idea too!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
