Wanting a holiday rebate

C and I have both been down with sinus infections since early in the week. It has made for a pretty miserable holiday weekend. But at least I've been able to stitch, so here's what I've been working on.

Proof that I've started my Prairie Schooler ABC Quilt - J is for Jack-o-Lantern.


I also started Take Time to Quilt (Jeannette Douglas Designs), and was surprised at how small it really is (64 x 64 stitches)


I'm changing all of the fibers to use what I have on hand, even using an unknown Dinky Dyes silk from an Oops pack acquisition from a couple of years ago. It's the color that counts, right?

Not a great picture, but some new progress on Magnificent Wizard, which hasn't seen the light of day for about a year. It's still q-snapped, and I plan to work on it a little more before moving on to the next project.


CC helped me wind some more yarn (he's a great skein holder), so I've started on the second third of each scarf today.


And I finally found the other floss ring tag that I started back at Moonlight Stitching in January 2009 - it was supposed to be my first, but I never got around to finishing it. Well, it's finished now, thanks to my crop-a-dile. I didn't use the kit fabric for the backing, just a white-on-white fabric that I think looks pretty good.


At least I've been able to stitch, because I haven't been able to do much else this weekend. If I couldn't stitch while sick, I think I'd just be crazy.
