September Stitch Along Update

 A lot has happened in the three weeks since I last posted. First of all I became a Grammy to Natalie. You can see that post here. Hubby and I traveled to Boston and met here last weekend!

The onesie that she is wearing in this photo is one I had saved from when my daughter was an infant. It was virtually brand new.

I have been stitching away to get the birth announcement finished now that she is here. This is how it looked for the last Stitch Along update in August.

Here is an interim update where I had started the vines and flowers up the sides.

This is where I am now.

I have finished the side vines and flowers and have started stitching the raccoon on the upper left. There are still an owl and a squirrel to stitch as well as the name, birthdate, etc. in the middle. I think it should be done by the end of the month except if we take another trip to see the baby. 

Thank you to Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea for hosting this Stitch Along every three weeks and sending us the needed posting reminders. 

Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and take some time to visit the other talented bloggers below who are part of this stitch-along. There is a wide variety of stitching projects. These talented stitchers are from all over the world so please allow for the time differences and check back for each post. We are welcoming Mary Margaret back to the stitch along. I am looking forward to seeing what she has been up to.
