Social Stitching

Last night I went to 2009's last Moonlight Stitch at my LNS, had a wonderful time with the girls, and actually finished block #8 of my Waterlily Pond Quilt. Pat E made taco soup, but I had a nearly overfilled bowl of white chicken chili that Mary H made, yum!!


I've also been working on Mother's Arms for a couple of weeks and here is my latest progress on it. I finally added the 4 rows at the top that Kathy N added to hers. After she finished hers (back in 2001), I emailed her and she was gracious enough to send me the 4 rows top and bottom that she hand-charted. I think it looks much better without the scalping. :)


One more pic - I bought a Crop-a-dile and made my first floss ring tag from some beaded designs I stitched several years ago. Top picture is front view, next picture is reverse.


Julie was at the Moonlight Stitch, and she was working on her Prairie Schooler ABC SAL project. I've had two of these charts for a while now (J-K-L and M-N-O), and knew that I would get around to them one of these days. Well, that day is arriving soon, because I'm going to join the SAL also. I want to do another cross stitch quilt, because I was inspired by the quilt in the 5th picture down in this post from the Knowledge and Needles retreat that Dani attended.

So I will be revamping my cross stitch rotation soon, removing quite a few of my current WIPs that I haven't worked on in a while (not from WIP status, just from my current rotation, which has pretty much been a screaming one lately). I want to start the other two projects I mentioned earlier, plus participate in the SAL. I know, I know, I go back and forth on starting new things / not starting new projects. I'll admit it, I'm fickle.

But I want have to finish 3 scarves first. I received my yarn package in the mail Monday, and here is my start of all three.
