And we’re off! I did get brave and created a YouTube photo video.

Here’s what I settled on for stitching, along with the progress photo as of Sep 30. Click to see full photo.

Scarlet Letter – Gratitude

Mirabilia – Fairy Moon

Examplar Dames – And They Sinned

Carriage House Samplings – Houses of Hawk Run Hollow

Mirabilia – Garden Verses

Goode Huswife – Book of Spells

Blue Ribbon Designs – An Expression of Gratitude

Plum Street – Hurt Not the Earth

Scarlett House – Coverlet Candle Mat

Little House Needleworks – Needleworker

This was actually my plane project for last week’s trip since it’s on 30 ct.

Mill Hill – Log Cabin Quilt

This was my first project to work on. I finished 10 hours last night. Love how it’s turning out but ended up having to unstitch about 2 hours worth because of mixing up the blues. Blah!

For now I’ll focus on Houses of Hawk Run Hollow and stitch it every 4th project. I’ll be creating a tab at the top to track progress.

Now I need to figure out what I want to stitch on next!

My quilting buddies are returning starting this week and I’m looking forward to returning to sewing with them. I’ll decide on my quilt/sewing WIPs once I figure out how often I’ll be sewing.

I finished Rose Quaker last night and the first thought I had was I needed to get it ironed and post a photo to my blog. When I went to log on this morning imagine my surprise to see how long it’s been since I last posted! Yikes!

Time flies when you’re having fun, and I’ve been having all kinds of fun redoing my sewing room, working for Arizona Quilters Guild, working for COMICON, and stitching when I can.

I actually have two finishes to share today, since I thought I had posted when I finished Lizzie*Kate’s Unseen Things on February 8.

She’s headed to the framers in a couple of weeks.

I had planned on working on And They Sinned after Unseen Things, but I couldn’t find it! I started a #MirabiliaMonday on my facebook page and had planned on Fairy Moon since I’m almost finished with it. I couldn’t find it either! I knew they were together, though.

So I pulled Rose Quaker out instead of And They Sinned. I finished Rose Quaker last night. Here’s a craptastic photo since I still haven’t ironed it. 😀

I finished the painting in my sewing room and have started putting everything back in its – hopefully – forever place. And….I found the two missing stitching pieces. Woohoo! So now that Quaker Rose is finished And They Sinned is patiently waiting. I started it January 4, 2013, and here’s where I stopped in August 2013.

Monday’s dedicated to Mirabilia, and since I couldn’t find Fairy Moon, I pulled Garden Verses. Here’s where I am on her as of last Monday:

What else to share? Oh yeah, I finally ordered, and received, the bell pull hardware for the SamSarah Lagniappe design. No sewing has been going on so nothing to share there. I am anxious to get back to it even though I’ve really enjoyed all the stitching I’ve done while not working on other things.

I’ll try not to let it be so long before I post again 😉
