That Was Quick!

Hey Blog Buddies,

I got so excited when I bought those Shaker boxes mentioned in my last post, that I pretty much dropped everything and went to work on BBD's Midnight Ride.  It was a very fast stitch, and now it is all done and finished just in time for Hallowe'en.

The smallest box was 7" in diameter (the pattern called for a 6" box), so I switched the fabric count from 30 to 28, and voila!  It's perfect!

This treasure was finished inside and out by the talented Averyclaire.  The top of the box is lined with the plaid fabric, too!   I had asked her to line the box, and was flabbergasted when I saw all that ruching!  It's pretty snazzy, as my mom would say.

In other stitchy news, I checked another project off of my rotation list.  This is my progress on Laura J. Perin's Nordic Panel as of April.  I was about two-thirds done.

 

Here it is now:

 All done!

But when one door closes, another opens, right?

 So here is the latest addition to

the rotation:

This is the start of Needle Delights Originals'

Autumn Logs.  It's my ANG chapter's 2015-16 SAL.

I've done Winter and Summer,

and I plan on doing Spring, too.

That's it from here.

I've got to start packing for

the Inspired Needle Retreat in Shipshewana

starting tomorrow.

It's going to be a fun weekend.

Thanks for visiting!
