My crafting mojo has been high. I have been stitching away!
First, I have to show you the progress I have made on Santa.
I have finally finished all the cross stitch on Santa himself.
There are still two borders and my son-in-law's name to cross stitch. Then it is on to backstitching and beads. The end is closer.
When I sit and visit my mother, I often bring this maroon/beige baby quilt to work on. I have marked some of the borders and I get quite a few stitches put in each time I visit. I am just about to turn the corner on this first border.
I have also added some embroidery stitches to this sweet little bib. Isn't she just adorable.
The bib is so soft that it is a breeze to stitch on. I am enjoying watching the picture take shape.
It is Mother's Day here in the US.
It even climbed in one of the pots.
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Mothers day .
ReplyDeleteHave fun.
You are doing well on all your stitching .
Hugs June.

ReplyDeleteHi,

ReplyDeletelove the meaning to all of your stitching projects. I love hearing your progress and you inspire me to create more.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathie: Santa is amazing, I bet you are excited to be so close to the finish.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the progress on your quilt, I have friends that quilt but have never seen them stitch like you are they have the stitching done by machine.
Love the bib and the bunny is so cute.

I have big quilts stitched professionally after it took over 20 years to quilt my first queen-sized quilt. I have hand quilted a few quilts that are smaller. So glad you like Santa and the bib.
