VALENTINE PARTY

I have decided to join in on the Valentine Sewing Party tomorrow that many of the participants in the Charming Girls Quilt Club are doing. We are going to be working on projects for Valentine's Day.


I am not able to sit at the sewing machine for any length of time so I have decided to work on a Valentine redwork stitchery which will have a border added and turned into a small wall hanging. I have already done a little stitching on the project because I know that I cannot sit any length of time to do the stitching either.

I will be posting the progress on the project tomorrow.

I am feeling better this week. Therapy is going well and I am having less pain. There is light at the end of the tunnel! Thank you to all who have given their well wishes and especially those that keep checking up on me.

Hi Karen,
So glad you're feeling better. I know therapy is a long process, but so worth it in the end. I know several people who have had it done and they are so happy with the results. Happy stitching...it looks so cute. Can't wait to see it finished.
Take care,
~Karen~

I love anything redword and that project looks darling, Karen.

I'm so happy that you're feeling better. It's a slow journey but like you said, there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Take care my friend.

My quilt group has a valentine party. We each make a handmade small gift to exchange and usually we serve treats to have with our coffee (we meet at the church). This year we are going to Borders Books cafe and taking some hand work with us. I will post mind on my blog.
Have fun at your party.

Love the stitchery.

I am VERY bad at handwork so the bulk of my work is MACHINE only.
