I keep on stitching!

 It's been a great week here, each day I made a little more progress on my Quilter Santa #2.   He is as much fun to stitch the second time around.


Time was also spent in the sewing room.  First I had to clean off the cutting table, not sure how it gets so cluttered, well I do know, but it is impossible for me to work until things are put away.  I discovered I don't have enough fabric to finish this pillow cover but I did get the first round of fabric added!  We are heading out tomorrow to a cabin by the lake in east Texas for about four days so this project will just have to wait for a bit.


The Linen and Threads chart for September posted, so that will need some attention next.  I guess I will bring Santa and the September chart along, not sure if I will find some time for stitching as it is a family weekend.  But it might be nice to sit by the lake and stitch while the guys go out in the side by side.

    The cabin by the lake for four days does sound rather wonderful. Love the fabric on the Bee Kind; it looks just like a hive. Your Santa, too, looks fabulous. Enjoy your time away!

      Yes East Texas is so much like AR so many more trees and unfortunately more humidity but I am not complaining

      Thanks just beautiful weather and chirping birds. Saw three red fox and over a dozen deer munching away in the neighborhood!

    Your Santa is looking fine! I've got the Bee Kind stitchery ... it's in my queue! Is that the free SAL from Linen & Threads that you're working on? I've been saving that one, but not working on it yet. Enjoy your time away!! :)

      Yes it is a freebie, I think I may go back and do a previous year mystery also. I am really enjoying crosstitch lately.
