Wool Sampler Progress

 My little wool sampler is all stitched down...

 ...let the creative stitching begin.

This week I played with a Threaded Running Stitch as seen on the center of this flower. I used a Rosette Chain Stitch along the outside in a variegated orange/yellow perle cotton.

Happy Sunday Stitching for sure!

With smiles,

Stitching on a Snowy Day

I love waking up to a fresh covering of snow, especially when I have no where to go!
This Sunday Morning found me looking out my desk window at this:

It's safe to say today will find me contently sewing in my studio. (YAH!!)
(Click here for my Grow Your BLog Giveway!)

I completed many of my "To Do's" from yesterday including getting my Sue Spargo BOM started. (Our Sue Spargo BOM is an unpublished pattern, thus we can not share photos of our blocks on social network sites.) Soooo....

...I was inspired to make this little wool sampler I saw in the Spring edition of Primitive Quilts and Projects Magazine (page 12). I'll use it to practice my stitches on & to share my learning here on my blog.

I'm not good at sitting still. (Just ask my mom or husband) 
so multiple projects are no problem for me.

I but once again, shoveled the drive and walkways (I don't mind, it's a good workout and we love the snow.) Jackson had no problem keeping me company as I cleared .

Done! Now time to turn on the Olympics and start sewing my Crazy Hearts  together along with hopefully prepping a Crazy Heart tutorial.(It's done...click and check it out!)
Happy Sunday to all!
