I am blown away at what my favorite bloggers have accomplished in the last year. I am humbled by their plans for this year. What an inspiration! Here is my first start for the new year, remembering that I do have several unfinished things in my basket, which I will not mention until each one is finished. Christmas Garden--Blackbird Designs--was a drop-everything project for me. If I didn't know better, I would swear this was made for me! I've had a good bit more stitching time in the past week than I normally do, and I have enjoyed every minute of this piece. I am using 36-count Vintage Sandcastle with the specified fibers/colors.
Needing a break from stitching, I decided to make myself feel really good by finishing something. I completed the hand work on the binding on this simple holiday toile quilt last night while watching Downton Abby. The backing is the same fabric as the middle.
Is there any better feeling than accomplishing something? As always, thank you so much for stopping by.
