He Is Risen Finished!

Evening All!

I finished the stitch He is Risen!  I used a linen that I coffee stained myself.  I stitched it to a lovely piece of grey/blue matka silk.  I mounted it to a board and plan to frame it.

Now... back to Serenity Harbor.  I've changed my mind.  I'm going to stitch it on a lovely creamy colored piece of 26 ct linen 1/1.

Almost done...

I should be done tonight.  Thinking on how to finish this stitch.  I'm going to see what I have for frames... I'm thinking stitching to a piece of wool or homespun and then framing it...

Stay warm!

He Is Risen ~ Final color choice

Morning All...

Funny thing how we think we will like one thing and then decide... mmmm.... no.  I stitched 3 other colors before landing on this one.  

Can't wait to finish... it should go quickly now.

It's cold here.  -4 this morning.  A beautiful "crisp" day...

Stay warm!

choosing colors

So, I joined the 12 month Serenity Harbor Sampler. I love Donna's designs at By the Bay Needleart

Last night Donna emailed me the beginning instructions!  I immediately went down stairs and started choosing colors and my fabric.  I just so happened to have the perfect size of linen... which considering mine will be 34-35" tall, was pretty outstanding! 

Happy Stitching!

Stay warm!!

Give Away

Quick post... Deena has a give away on her blog.... Seasons Of My Mind
check it out!

It's been a long time...

Oh, my... it's been so very long since I've typed... I don't know if any of you will still be there.  So much has happened since 2012!
My m-i-l and I went to Israel!

Both my boys have graduated high school.
Brandon enlisted in the Montana Air National Guard

and got married!

I have 2 new grandpuppies.

I went to work with my husband part time and part time at Deer Country Quilts.  Then last June I went full time with my husband and stopped working on a schedule at the quilt store.  In July my husband bought his business from corporate offices and now we are full time business owners.  I work in Missoula, which is 57 miles from my house! Talk about a change in lifestyle!

One thing I have found out about myself though... I really like quilting... but when you get right down to it... I LOVE TO STITCH!!! I mean... it's in my heart.  So, here I am jumping into stitching with all my heart again.  I've picked up and finished some of my projects...

and by my nature I've started many more!!! lol... what can I say?

I just contacted Donna at By the Bay Needleart and signed up to do her Serenity Harbor Sampler.

Also, I have fallen in love with Renato Parolin's designes!!! They are so beautiful!

So... there's some of what's been happening here...

Happy Stitching!
