A small finish and some WIPS

The weather has been good to us since the tornadoes rolled through last week.  I can't tell you how many times I have been told, "Don't worry about tornadoes, they don't happen in New England"  Yeah RIGHT!!! Western Massachusetts was hit with several strong storms which they haven't classified and there is much devastation in those areas.  Probably nothing like the Midwest but pretty traumatic to an area that doesn't expect them.  My heart goes out to those families who lost loved ones and all of their belongings.  The running joke at Stitching Group is "Do we have our stash at the ready in case we need to evacuate?"  

Here are my latest projects.  The first is LHN Ornament "Deck the Halls" using recommended fabric and fibers.  This will be made into an ornament and modeled at ABC Stitch.

Next up is a progress picture from a SAL I am working on.  Ellen and I both love kitties and so we saw it fitting to work on this one together.  2 Charts come out bimonthly and we have the first 6 to work on.  It is designed by Val's Stuff and titled Monthly Kitty Quilts.  I am stitching mine on 35ct Iced Cappucino with the recommended DMC fibers.  It  so fun to work with such vibrant colors. I missed stitching group last week and have some catching up to do.  I need to have block 3 finished for this Wednesday.  I here that whip cracking, but get moving.

Here is another WIP.  I started this one to work on during the baseball season.  I spend from 4:30 to 8pm 3-4 days a week at the ball field watching my little leaguers PLAY BALL.  I am the type that needs to keep my fingers busy so here is Sheltering Tree stitched on 36ct Pearled Barley ( I think but can't quite remember) using the called for Valdani thread (single strand).  I am enjoying this one as it progresses and can't wait to finish it.

I hope you have a had a lovely weekend.  The weather here couldn't have been better.  We had a busy weekend and I will post some details tomorrow.  Happy Stitching Friends!
