Another little sewing bug that bit me, is cross-stitching. I found the chart for this piece I'm currently busy with HERE. There are 100's to download for free. Over the Christmas break, my husband would either play X-Box games, be out in the garden, or he was busy making my shelves and tables for my sewing room, and figured since we don't get to spend a lot of time together that at least this way, I can keep busy with something creative and still be in each other's company. It's been sitting on the shelf for a couple of weeks now, so since things are back to normal with work and school I thought of carrying on at night...
Another UFO, almost a FO is this 'birthday' quilt I'm working on... Don't worry, the time is really close for me to share this with all of you, so keep a look out for this secret project. I did share some of the FMQ here.

I am linking up to Leah Day's UFO Sunday, Sew darn crafty @ Sew Many Ways and Let's get acquainted @ Plum and June
Remember to come back on Monday to link up to "Anything Goes - Quilt 'n Sew"
Happy quilting.
You have a wide variety of projects going. I've recently rediscovered having one or two hand projects go along with one or two machine projects. It works for me.
ReplyDeleteYou are very versatile - cross-stitch and quilting - makes me want to start one of my cross-stitching projects that have been left a long while. That's a great way to use fabric scraps too. Your projects are VERY pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love to cross-stitch when I'm not busy quilting. Haven't done it since we moved - where do you suppose I put my cross-stitch UFOs?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I need to go look at the page you linked to - free patterns. I already have more than I can possibly finish in a lifetime. But I am off to do that ... thanks, I think.
I understand having a project going so that you can keep company with the kids. That is why I took up knitting so I could watch their movies with them but be busy at the same time. Stopping by from Plum and June.
ReplyDeleteYour little hearts are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the hearts!
ReplyDeleteI still have an enormous needlework stash though I haven't needlepointed or cross-stitched in a long time.
ReplyDeleteThose hearts are going to be wonderful.
