I finished my 30th Project Linus blanket last night. This is another large one.
I am working on a large sunflower one this morning that I am planning on taking to my friend Miss Irene. Irene is a lady "of a certain age" that I used to work with and I tried to look out for her and make sure things went well for her. Yesterday she apparently had a stroke while at work. When I say she is of a certain age I mean she is already retired from one job and should be retired from this one. She is well on the other side of retirement age... I worried about her when I was working with her and now this.
Here is the update on my Quilter's Garden. I haven't worked on that in over a week. It is too complicated to do when there were so many people around but as you can see it is progressing nicely!
Today I am heading to the hospital to see Miss Irene. It is still snowy and bitter cold. The wind is howling too. It is a good day to curl up with a movie some popcorn and hot chocolate and that is my plan when I get back from the hospital.
I finished off the second of two more infant blankets this afternoon. I had run out of the rose colored yarn so I had to get to Michaels and get some more and I didn't get to do that until yesterday. Then of course when I got home I was anxious to get back to the Quilter's Garden.
This is where I left off last night. I am in the confetti stitching now (that is what my friend Cecile used to call a stitch here and a stitch there of a bunch of different colors in one spot. This of course takes longer because you are constantly looking at the pattern and changing colors. Thankfully there are only 4 areas like that on this. I am anxious to get to the hardanger cutting and weaving. That is my favorite part.
I need to get into the basement too and get some cards done as it is time for the monthly exchanges or Fatbook pages and ATC's.
While I have been sewing, I have been watching back episodes of Dexter. This show fascinates me and I just can't explain it.
OK, back to my sewing and Dexter!
I cannot tell you how wonderful it feels to be doing this again. When I finish this, I want to order Glendon Place's Outrageous Owls to stitch for my son's girlfriend. I think that will be a fun, quick piece and she will love it. After that, I will pick another UFO if I have one here or a pattern that is in my stash that I have been putting off. I have a lot of Silver Lining pieces in my stash like these two in particular...
Then there is Zippy's Favorite Flower and Spike by Dimples Designs and the Big Mama of them all, Flower Power by Crossed Wing Collection, all of which have been patiently waiting in my collection for me. SO! I am off to stitch, I will post my progress in the morning so maybe Becky will get back to RMC! My guess will be she looks for some hardanger!
