Hello, dear friends and Happy March! Can you believe it is already March? This year seems like it is flying by. Doesn't it?
This stitch is a freebie called the "Lion and the Lamb"and was designed by Linda Stolz of Erica Michaels . It can be found on Rainbow Gallery's website. Click here .
Have you seen Helen D.'s sweet St. Patty's Day freebie that she so generously shared on her Flosstube # 76 ? Hope you will pop over to see her lovely stitches and get this little freebie. Thank you, Helen. It was a delight to stitch. I finished mine into a little pin pillow and added a ripped strip of gingham around the seam which I tied into a bow. I would like to add a little charm or button to the bow but will have to wait till I find the perfect piece.
I started my day off with a little quilting. I have been working on my bee skep blocks that I started last week.
I plan to work more on those tonight. I just need to cut out more skeps.
What is this mess of scraps you ask? Well a tray full of quilt block possibilities. I have a design drawn on paper, and so another applique project is going to be worked on to go along with Angela's green challenge of So Scrappy. Hopefully, I can have some progress on that later this week.
For the last 2 months I have participated in Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal quilt challenge. This is where you set one goal to complete during the month. It is a great motivator to get some things done that you might not have completed as quickly. Well this month I am going to work on hand quilting my Easter Quilt again. My goal is to get at least 1 quilt hoop completed. I am hand quilting it in the Baptist Fan pattern.
A bit of Spring has sprung on the buffet with Waxing Moon Designs "Easter Trio".
So what is on my agenda for the rest of the evening? Well I have bee skeps to applique and a cross stitch house to start. Hopefully, I can make some good progress and update you later this week.
Before I leave, can I tell you how much you brighten my day with your visits ? You really do. I truly feel blessed. Have a beautiful first week of March and as always..
Happy Quilting and Stitching, ya'll
