I finished Father Frost! He is already to be given to my grandson to hang on the tree!
I have been steadily stitching the Waiting for Santa stocking for my grandson. I am sure you can see my progress. The upper body of the little boy is almost complete.
That means a lot of early morning stitching before Hubby awakens. These pieces used to be covered with a red and cream buffalo check. Unfortunately, the upholstered didn't have enough of that same fabric and it had been discontinued. I like the windowpane check that we substituted.
Now that the ornament is finished, I have spent some time at the sewing machine the past few days to work on the Log Cabin Star quilt (Judy Martin's Timberline) for my daughter. I am adding logs to the next 10 blocks.
Once these are complete I will be more than halfway done with making these particular blocks. I will have 101 of the 196 blocks completed.
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching. You know that I will be settled in stitching the stocking.
Thanks for stopping by!
Good morning Cathie , love your ornaments and your new start.

What a wonderful ornament for Lucas! His stocking is coming along nicely too. Your newly reupholstered stitching spot looks like a great place to spend time with needle and thread and your favourite beverage. Enjoy your day! Gail at the Cozy Quilter

Such a cute little beaded Christmas ornament, it's so special that you are making these for your grandchildren. That's a lot of blocks for your daughter's quilt.

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Melva Loves Scraps. Feel free to join my weekly Sew & Tell party.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous at how fast you are for the holidays. I am woefully behind my arbitrary goal but never fear I still have time. The ornament will be a treasured heirloom.
