Joanne @canuckquilter has released a new pattern~
I was lucky enough to pattern test this one for her and I immediately thought of all the piles of colorful leaves in the fall. I dug out scraps and cut and sewed. I just love how it turned out!
Joanne did hers in spring greens, so be sure to visit her blog to see it. And the other tester's top too.
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!
Hello bloggers and hoppers!
The idea for this hop was Joan's @MooseStash Quilting and what a fun idea for February!! Thank you Joan!! I have enjoyed visiting all the blogs and 'sweet' ideas~ have you too?
I decided to make a project from the Fat Quarter Shop's exclusive free patterns, with a little twist. I wanted my wall hanging to be mini. :-) I did the math and made the Love Note Pattern half size.
It is approx 10.25" x 12" inches~
How about 5" x 6"?
In the evenings I worked on the accompanying free cross-stitch pattern. I got it stitched, but not fully finished.... it will be by next year! LOL I have a small cutting board that I plan to mount it on so I can hang it in my dining nook next year. :-)

Quiltery-For the Love of Geese
As many of you know, I love to machine embroider. :-)
And I love gifting things I have made. Well, this set is staying right here! LOL
When I saw this Nautical design from Designs By Juju I just knew what I would do with it.
We have a small guest bathroom that I have fun decorating, and when it isn't Grinch season, it is beach themed.
Do you decorate for seasons or other themes? I love to decorate, much to my husband's chagrin. He always says 'what are you going to do with that?' when I buy a little something, but it always works as planned. :-) yay!
I hope you are enjoying a little sunshine wherever you are~
Until next time~~
Happy Stitchin'!!
Did you know I was gone? :-)
LOL, I didn't tell but a few. I went to a winter retreat with my sewing/machine embroidery/quilting friends. We are a small group, but full of fun and inspiration! Unfortunately, the design wall was so busy I didn't get pix of things before they were taken down again! Next time I will be faster! I do have one quilt top I need to convert and then I can show it.
I worked on these 'Shop In Style Tote Bags' from Pineapple Fabrics.
They used this fun Grace pack. Keep your eyes on their site because they have a lot of sales~ better yet, sign up for the emails so you don't miss anything! ;-)

I also got quite a bit done on a machine embroidery project, but it is a test design, so you will have to wait for that one.
What is keeping you busy?
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!
Happy, that is, to have you visit me today!
Hello and welcome to my day on the Shades of Blue Blog Hop!!
Do you decorate with blue in January?
I do! It is so fun to put up another color when all the Christmas comes down~
I made 2 things for this hop.
First, this machine embroidered wall hanging. I used an ombre blue fabric to cut the part behind each snowman.
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...
