Quilting, Stitching, and Stashing

I started the quilting on my little table topper. I have decided to do outline quilting, which basically follows the shape of the seams. I think it's coming out ok. I'm trying to take my time and not be so spastic!

I went to Amy's yesterday and it was a lot of fun as always! We stitched, shopped and ate (Pizza Hut, yum)! I stitched a little bit on my CHS Alphabet.

CHS Alphabet A-F
36 ct. Examplar, GAST (1 over 2).

When I got home I decided to get out my CHS Sampler Stocking and work on it some. I would love to get it finished also.

Carriage House Samplings "Sampler Stocking"
40 ct. Meadow Rue, NPI Silk (1 over 2).

I also got a little bit of stash while at Amy's.

I was thinking of stitching "When Witches go Riding" using these Belle Soie...

Here's my conversion if anyone is interested. I used Shepherd's Bush's model as a guide, but I have no idea what they actually used.

DMC - Belle Soie
420 - Butterscotch
422 - Butterscotch
898 - Kiwi
937 - Collard Greens
3371 - Noir
3826 - Lasagne

Elegant Eggplant for 898 words.

Well, that's all for now! I've got to get back to laundry, dishes and cleaning to get ready for the coming week. Write soon!
