A Year of Embroidery

Well here I am again late at night amd can't sleep - cleaning my craft room and now blogging and internet surfing. Here is my next project. Pattern is a Smith Street Design.

This one will take me a year to complete. (decided to take my time) Actually I will be doing two of them in different color schemes at once for gifts. I will work on a different flower every month; and also the coordinating cuts and borders that I will need for each section.

Here is a few of my beginnings:

Quilting Project Finished

Here is a Lap quilt I just finished. It is a log cabin design inspired by Quilt in a Day, Eleanor Burns. It was for my Rocking Chair but my son loved it and confiscated it for himself. (He is 20 by the way) I was just thrilled that he wanted it and made so much over it.

The binding gave me a bit of trouble but that is what I get for doing a double sided binding. I did free motion the brown & blue Hydrangea print right next to the binding, while everything else was mostly stitch in the ditch/quilting. I think it turned out well.
