Winter Rose, Part III

Hi Everyone,

Well, have been working on my Winter Rose Wallhanging and have finished the first two blocks and 3rd block is pinned not basted yet, but couldn't help but take a pic:  what do you think?  I am loving making these blocks, they aren't too big that they are awkward to hand sew, just the right size,

 Also, went to my fav fabric store and I know I shouldn't have, but, I did, so here is a sneak peak at some yummy fabrics:

What I am going to do,have no idea, couldn't resist, actually went to buy the pink and white stripe fabric and this is what I came out with!! 
Well, Happy Snowy Monday here in Illinois...

Hugs,

Mary

Hello everyone,

Well, I hope all is well with all of you and that Santa brought you all your wishes....Santa was very good over by my end of the world...but truly having my kids home and family, sisters and nieces and nephews here for Christmas Eve I truly felt blessed.

Now for the New Year, 2013 YEAH!!  I am Not starting any new projects until I finish some of my old ones, like the Wonky Log Cabin Throw I was starting to make for my youngest, for her dorm bed....and then the Pomegranate Wall hanging that I am hand stitching or appliquing I should say, because I have to get those out of the way to start my oldest' wedding quilt (Oct of 2013) so I have some time on that one....so I joined this Finishing up Club - the button is on the side of my blog....check it out, lots of members...

So here is what I have to finish:

Sooooo here are a couple of unfinished projects that I HAVE TO GET DONE IN 2013!     Capital Letters shows that I am serious :)

All my hugs and prayers to them all,

Stitchin with my Friday Friends..

Hello All,

Here is what I worked on Fridday Night.....I saw this pattern in the Primitive Quilts Winter issue, so I thought I would give it a try since I absolutely love, love Snowmen....The muslin I picked was kind of different...I have had it in my stash for a very long time it is strips of muslin sewn together, that was the material, so I purchased it about 4 years ago because I loved the dimension, not knowing what I would use it for, well,.....I used it for my snowman and it turned out really cute (so far)

Here is a close up of the muslin fabric....I still have to put eyes and sew on scarf, and add buttons...but it was fun sewing all night, this is a  really easy pattern by the way....

Well, thank you ladies for letting me sew along,

Hope everyone has a blessed and safe weekend,

Many Hugs,

Mary

Just joined this group.....am going to post tomorrow what I got done....so exciting!!!  It's their last Fri meeing for 2012 but will start up again in 2013.... Yeah!!
  Hugs, Mary

Its Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday...

Hello everyone,

Yes, I think I have officially lost it.....picked up Christmas Cards I made of Cooper, my yellow lab male...my baby....yes, he is my baby.  He goes to work everyday with Hubby and I work for Hubby part-time, so he is always by one of our sides....He loves when we go to the Bank to make deposits from work because there he is greeted by the tellers with Bones - his fav!!! :)  Soo at halloween, I made cards and gave the Bank and the Mailman and coworkers one from Cooper, sooooooooooo I just had to make ones for Christmas..... want a peek?

 I put reindeer ears on him, he looked soooo cute!!!  Was a  little upset with me, though, did not like them at all, but he endured...Such a good boy!!

Alright, I will stop about my puppy dog but he is a cutie,

Happy Wednesday everyone,

Lots of Hugs,

Mary
