Finally finished all of the smalls I was doing for the Shepherds Bush box, A Full Heart. I did the large pincushion in the bottom of the box instead and also did the needleroll and pinkeep. The scissor fob is the 2016 SB one as I liked it better. Love the way it all looks together!
Finished this strawberry table runner from Anna Louise's in Ohio. Was visiting for a Rebekah Smith retreat called From Our Hands in 2015. My friend Monica took us to Anna Louise's and all of us got the pattern and located the red ticking. Loved the wool on the border. Now to finish the other things bought on that trip!
The cows decided to check out the back yard....and then Brandon had to round them up. Just another day at the farm.
Stopped for something sweet, besides Paul, to celebrate our anniversary. It's been 27 years....and it just keeps getting better. Happy anniversary to the man of my dreams.
Thank goodness I finished the holly as it is kind of a minimalist Christmas around here. Sciatica nerve issues since October, now know is a bulging disc. So only a new to us small tree and nativity set from my mom made it out as decorations. So happy that she gave me the nativity now...loved it growing up. The only thing missing is the real straw we would bring in for the manger.
Spent some time in the studio and finished two Blackbird pieces. Both mom and I had stitched these. Then mom sent me a picture of the wool applique white pumpkin pillow and the Rebekah Smith huswife I had done in April in Ohio. I had finished all the stitching and mom put the binding on. A very productive month.
Mom got a new floor in the kitchen and dining room. We were hanging things for her and she had this quilt she was going to hang in her studio. I suggested handing it in the dining room as the new wall paint would go well with the quilt colors. The quilt is wool applique on cotton.
