I have a small finish to share with you. And it is one of my projects for finishing this month for The Charming Guys & Girls Quilt Club. This is a small stitchery project called "God Bless the 'Ewe' S A". The pattern is a free one available at
Sew Many Prims. The design is by Susan Frace. The pattern has the stitchery made into a pillow but I made mine into a little wall hanging. The piece is embroidered and also colored in with colored pencils. Fun to do. One word of caution, though. I cut my background piece to the size specified and it wasn't big enough to hoop for some of the stitching close to the edges. The directions tell you to trim it to a certain size after stitching. I must have printed my pattern out larger than it was supposed to be as there was no way I could cut it that small. When you print out your pattern, check the design area and check the finished cutting measurements in the directions. You may need to have you background cut larger than it says.
I have embroidered a basket block and added some wool stars. This is the first of a set of basket blocks I will be making. I am using Perle Cotton for the stitching.
It sure is windy here today. We aren't having bad weather like some of the USA is having, though. I know that it is hard to get around in all that snow and ice, so those of you in the affected areas, stay inside and stitch. It is in the 60's here today but is to cool off quite a bit tonight.
Nothing else exciting to report here. I will get back to stitching on another basket block.
Bye!

Those are darling projects with a bonus of one being FINISHED. I like the little basket design.
I'm doing more small things these days and I love the prim patterns. I love the idea of putting some wool stars on the basket. blessings, marlene
Oh, I love your quilt sign and little quilt in the last Post!

Fantastic finish!!!
Those are SO darling! Good job!
Both projects are so cute. Are the basket blocks also going to become wallhangings, or are they destined to be a quilt?
Cute little bits of stitchery. I won't tell you how long it took me to understand what EWE SA meant LOL.

They are both so cute but I really like the baskets.
Good advice about measuring too.
They are both so cute!! Too bad about the size, although yours is so adorable!
The basket block is really cute. It looks familiar but I can't place it. Is it from a pattern or BOM?
