Busy week Stitching

Well, I really surprised myself this week and I was able to finish up April's Chart for the Linen and Threads SAL.  The motif is gorgeous and I think it kept motivating me to see it completed.  Each chart that I am adding makes me so glad that I joined this SAL.   Here's a closeup of the April's stitches and then a photo of what I have stitched so far.

I also found a few minutes to stitch out this little bunny.  I just couldn't resist stitching it.  After I finish my mystery quilt steps four and five I hope to finish it into something I can display next Easter.

Santa #4 was finished also!  I love the way he turned out and need to decide who Santa #5 will be?  I have run out of some of the dmc so starting him may have to wait until our lock down is over and I can get out and get some more skeins.

 As for slow stitching later today I may trace out a Kathy Schmitz bunny that came out and get started on that!  He is aweful cute!

Happy Easter!

I think we shall have a beautiful Easter here in North Texas.  We started with some fast moving thunderstorms and heavy rain, but the sun in now shining.   I need to get out and enjoy the weather before the winds pick up this afternoon.  Then hopefully I can find some time to add some stitches to my two crossstitch projects.  Santa # is coming along nicely.

 The Linens and Threads 2020 SAL is moving along also!  I feel my stitching is improving like anything we do, practice really helps.   There are a lot of stitches to make this month, but I really like the motif for this month!

Cheddarback is a top!

 Cheddarback quilt is officailly a top!  What a fun journey it has been!  I made a few changes by adding the year the BOM started and my initials into the center section.  I thought about adding a border but this morning I decided to just say it is finished.  I won't get to quilting it right away as I have another quilt already slotted for this next winter, but I do look forward to when this quilt will be in the hoop.  By then I hope that I have come to a decision on how to quilt it.  I am torn between baptist fans and just some 45 degree lines in on direction.  I think either one would be great.

Final blocks Of Cheddarback Quilt

Well here it is the beginning of April and I have been able to finish up the blocks for Cheddarback quilt.  Gay Boomers decided that with the COVID19 quarentines and restrictions she would release the last two months at the same time.  I was gladly surprised because it does get harder and harder to wait for the release of the final blocks. So here they are!  I took come closeups of a few of my favoites!

There's something special about a little churn dash block!

I really like my fabric choices in this one!

Now I need to lay all my units out and decide on the final layout.  I am following Gay's layout and not the layout of the original quilt, however I have changed some things up.  Not sure that will happen this week, but I am sure it won't be long.  I really want to get this into a top and in the lineup to be quilted someday.
