March Finish

I  didn't think that I would be able to finish this panel this month, but I just finished it last night.  Now all of the stitchery panels are complete.  Putting it together will be  a project for another month. 

Spring Retreat

Last weekend was the first Anytime Stitching Sewing retreat of the year.  Leisa and Nancy do a great job organizing this twice a year.  It was a great time.  Got to spend time with  friends that I don't see very often (since I still work) and met some new ones.  There are some extremely talented ladies in our group.  Here a just a few of the great quilts people were working on.

March OMG

 My mom taught me how to embroidery when I was about 8 or 9.  I remember begging her to teach me and she finally gave in.  It is the one needlecraft that I always return to.  I might knit, crochet, do applique, but I always come back to embroidery.  This pattern is Twas the Night Before Christmas from Crabapple Hill.  I started it several years ago, and for some reason got to the last panel and just put it aside.  Finishing this panel is my goal for the month of March. 

I hope to get the pinwheel blocks completed this month also, but that would be a bonus.
