I started this at the EGA meeting just over a week ago. It's coming along pretty quickly and I should have it done in the next week or so. Another one done will be good! I'm getting there on what needs to be done. The pattern is a French inspired heart from The Gift of Stitching magazine.

Knocking Out Another Pattern
I started the pattern at the bottoms of the blocks this week, and since this picture was taken, have finished it. All four sides have the upright and slanted cross stitches done. Now on to the next bit! I might get this done before the end of the year.

Sampler for a Friend
I made this sampler last spring and my husband finished framing it last night. It'll be heading out to my best friend next week. He picked out the colors, so he'd better like it! I think my husband did a great job framing it, as usual. He's also saying he's nearly caught up on framing so I have to stitch more.

Some Borders and Leaves
Diamond Ornament Completed
I managed to put this together into ornament form today, too. I think it came out pretty well. My husband says it's one we're keeping, that I'm not allowed to give it away. I think that means he likes it.
Another Ornament Complete
I got my first crazy quilt ornament done today! I'm feeling proud of myself because I'm mailing it out to an ornament exchange EARLY. Go me! This is the first of six I've started - the foundations are pieced on all the others. The exchange is made up of cross stitchers, so I hope this person likes getting something completely different. My husband took a picture of the back, too, so here it is. I think I need to add more decoration to the back on the next one. Oh, and it counts as number 14 of my project challenge!
