Craft update

 I still have to write the second vacation post, but I haven’t uploaded all the photos yet. You can see the first vacation post here. I decided to write a short crafting post instead. My travel craft didn’t get all that much attention. We were too busy and I was reading on the flights. This is how Cinnamon House currently looks. 

Since we’ve been home, I’ve finished the stitching and beading on Charming Santa. 

Assembly will be next. My least favorite part. 

I’ve finished quilting another Block of Having A Ball and I’m almost finished with the pale pink block that you can see. 

When that is done I will have 12 of the 36 blocks quilted.

I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching and Frederique at the Quilting Patch. Make yourself some tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Charmed Santa is so much fun. I love the texture the beading brings to it.

  6. Beaded santa is lovely. Great stitching on your quilt too. I always go away with good intentions to craft. It doesn't always work out that way!!

  7. I had to go over and look at your vacation post - it looked wonderful! Plenty of time for crafting now that you're home. The Cinnamon House project will be a fun one! And Santa looks great, too. Have a relaxing Sunday, Cathie!

  9. I agree on the assembling after a stitching project. I am very sloppy probably because I don't know what I am doing. Lovely projects!

  10. Lovely stitches and I made your photos bigger so I could see these lovely projects you have on the go, Cathie. Those Having a Ball centers are so pretty. Feels good to move them all along, doesn't it. Happy Stitching from me!

  12. Hello Cathie: Looking forward to seeing your vacation photos, since Mike has been sick we are not able to take vacations together. Cinnamon House is such a sweet design, nice start, the quilt is coming along, such lovely colored fabrics you chose. Santas Face is adorable, I too do not like to construct the Mill Hill designs.
