One week melts into the next, not much happening. Oh wait, I met a friend for lunch!!! That was lovely. Otherwise, I miss the days when I could go out and explore. So crafting it is.
I finished the February section. I am loving this soooo much! I am getting better, counting really helps. Yes, there still are some minor mistakes, I am not a robot. No one will see them, and if someone does – good for them. As you see I went beyond the blocks in a few directions. I’m not the only one, others are showing their work on IG and are dong the same. One of the things I love so much about this is the variety of design – rather amazing.
Its back to this project, and even here, I can feel my improvement. Once again, I really need to pay attention.
Yes, this one is simply mirror image. Makes things a little easier when I move from one side to the other, I can look over and see what I have already done.
My local LQS Candy’s Quiltworks is having a sale. I went in and bought some fabric, not for a quilt, I’ll show you soon. Turns out she has quite a selection of Cosmo embroidery thread. This is from Japan and I’m using it on the SAL. Using DMC on the Ephrata project. Are these any different? Is one better than the other? I don’t know, but I bought some for another project I have in mind. Can you tell that I am beginning to accumulate more things for cross-stitch…
I bought fabric, the watermelon is for masks for my grandson. His dad will make them. I hate that kids are forced to wear masks, but he has to in school. he also loves watermelon. When I picked up my middle grandson from his preschool he said he hates being there because of the mask. Breaks my heart. So we went off to a new to us park and I set them free. They immediately found other boys (some wearing masks) and had a blast, running, climbing, chasing. Just being boys.
Oh the second fabric? I will make a dress for may granddaughter. Now that she is walking, wearing dresses makes sense. I have to go buy new patterns, I got rid of all of the ones I used for Shira.
