Moving Along..

Did you have a good weekend?  Things were busy here, but nothing unusual in that. :-)

I did manage a few finishes...

I've been stitching on this Crabapple Hill pattern in between Birdie Stitches blocks. It is going to be a pillow cover as soon as I get some piping made.  I am just going to love having this out during the Christmas season! :-)


And I got my vintage sheet Simple Things Quilt Along  quilt all quilted, bound and washed. I really like how crinkly it is! I used an all over large swirly design for the quilting. It looks better in person than in the photo's, I think. It has a vintage sheet on the back and I used the same sheet for the binding. It is snuggle-licious! :-)

I was trying for an angle shot of the quilting, but just can't capture it
Finished!! :-)

Today I am working on some swap blocks. Hopefully I will be back to show you those in a day or two. ;-)
Until then~
Happy stitchin'!

I looked at this last night, and loved the stitchery so much that I clicked over to Crabapple Hill and forgot to come back and comment. Love your stitchery and your quilt!

Oh Sandie, your pillow cover is just sooo, sooo cute! And I am in love with your vintage sheet quilt....I think I'm going to have to go through my stash of VS and try to put a quilt together for myself. I actually have a sheet just like the one you used for your backing! :o)

XOXO,

Cyndi

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...
