SWAT and IHSW update

Good morning all! Sorry I didn't post yesterday but what a day! I had to get up early to take Hubby to work as the van is in being fixed. Then off to work for a few hours followed by torture physical therapy (I think we over did it yesterday OUCH). Right after PT I had to go get hubby and take him to dr. appt. for a check-up, to Wegman's (food store), make dinner, drop off a laptop that hubby had fixed for a friend of mine and finally home to collapse! Oh and it is incredibly hot here too (as I hear it is in many parts of the US) with no end in sight! 

Enough complaining! Here are my finishes and starts:



Blessings by The Stitcherhood
I will be getting fabric to finish this one today.

Basket of Memories by Blackbird Designs
I am not at all happy with the blue I chose and I think the frogs will be visiting today!

 
 An Emblem of Love by Ellen Chester
I love this Quaker freebie I found and can't wait to put some more time in on it!

Time to get ready for work but then I am off the rest of the week so I can hide from the heat in the house and stitch!! Oh and read (currently reading Mary Queen of Scots, good read but a long book.

Until later have a wonderful day and happy stitching!

  1. Wow, Rose, you got heaps done!

    Blessings looks great.

    Is that a variegated blue on Memories? It's very pretty. Have you tea-dyed the fabric?

    Those pesky frogs - I had an absolute infestation over the weekend. I think I've quite possibly stitched the scissor case four times over but have very little to show for it!

  7. Yikes!!! I hope that will be your busiest day this week!

    I love your Blessings finish. Did you really frog all the blues? They look nice... but I know how it is, if you're not happy with it now, you won't be further down the road either.
