Instead of buying something new to work on in the evenings (it really is too hot to knit), I decided that perhaps it was time to start working on some of the many embroidery projects my Mom had gathered together.
I could have started another cross stitch project, heaven knows I have plenty of those, but straight embroidery goes so much faster.
I started this dresser runner the first week of the month.
I finished it late last night and all that is left is the hemming.
Today I started this baby quilt top.
I think it will move along fairly quickly and keep me out of trouble in the evenings.
Fact of the matter Mom seemed to collect a great many quilt tops so I plan on getting some of them finished this summer. They will make lovely gifts later on.
I have enough to keep me busy for the next little while and will make quite a dent in items taking up room in my sewing/craft area (as well as saving money on gifts).
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Hi, dearest long-time bloggy friend...gosh, didn't we start about the same time blogging? I think I started in Oct. of 2007....and, you know, I have never had blogging block...I still barely finish one draft before 2 or 3 more ideas are running thru my mind. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty hand work. My mom loved to do all kinds of hand work, sewing, actually, she was very talented. I've never been good at any of it.
Have a good rest of the week...
xoxo
I cannot do embroidery so am in awe on your talent.
