Restart

This was one of my Crazy January 15.  I had started it with floche only, and it was a different color of blue.  After picking out the original stitching, I started over.  This time I used a bright electric blue color based ThreadWorx variegated floss and have a hank of floche in the same bright color.  It's going a lot better this time.

Cracker from North Carolina

 I don't know who sent me this cracker, but the return address was North Carolina.  It was full of some neat stuff!  I've already used some on a round robin quilt block.  Thank you!

More Shutters

This week, it was all about green - in the shutters and the bush under the second window.

All Parts Received!

I am a third of the way done now, and have all the motifs in my hands to finish the rest.  Thank you, designers and the Susannes for making this possible!

Christmas Flowers

 Andreas got me a very pretty floral centerpiece just before Christmas.  It was delivered, so he wasn't able to see the actual one I got until he got home.  It's beautiful, but especially the roses and the mums were rather old in it.  I still love it, though, and we've learned the lesson to pick up in person!

Going Green

The green stripes are filling up fast.  Definitely over halfway done!

An Accidental Start

I got this in the mail a couple of weeks ago, and it was sitting on the endtable when I sat down, so... it's started.  Its the first in the XOctagon series from Fireside Stitchery.
