Works in Progress

Wow, another post so soon! I got my car project (Jenny Bean's Christmas Sampler) out of the car today so I could take a picture of my progress...

40 ct. Maple Sugar, recommended GAST (1 over 2).

I work on this when I'm waiting for my kids to get out school. It's a great car project. Hopefully it won't take me too much longer to finish. :)

I also got a start on CaHRH Block 5 yesterday. I'm loving this block so far!

I just love this peacock!

To steal Glenna's line again... I decided to "sample another sampler." This one is The Drawn Thread's "Toccata Number Five." It's a pattern darning sampler. I got a few motifs stitched. It's a little time consuming, so I've been stitching a little on CaHRH and then I do motif and then stitch a little more on CaHRH. It's a lot of fun, even if it does seem to take me forever!

Well, that's all my progress I have to share for today. Tomorrow I'm going to Amy's to go shopping at a couple quilt stores, have lunch and possibly get some stitching in before I head home. I'm so looking forward to it. I need a day out! Write soon!
