I picked up the first piece I've had framed from the framers a week or so ago.
Close up of the frame. The fabric color is more accurate here than in the picture above.
Here is a peek of my 2010 $5 quilt in the process of assembly. I'm at the point now where I have hours of thread clipping and ironing in front of me. I decided I'm done with this for the weekend. Anyone who knows me, knows I hate to iron.
Here's a quick pic I took of Cody. He hates getting his picture taken. A second before he was sitting up pretty, looking right at me. A second after this picture, he'd taken off.
I'll most likely be taking a blog break. I started my new job this week and I have to give a presentation in Texas the week of the 14th. A one hour presentation on a topic on which I knew nothing about on the 1st. The yet to be created presentation I can handle, the questions I'm not sure about. So I'll probably have some late nights this week and possibly spend some time in the office over the weekend. While I won't be posting myself, I'll continue to read your blogs. I'm always so inspired by you! Happy stitches!

Good luck on your presentation! Sorry it's soooo hot here! (I know I am...)
Good Luck with the new job/presentation and everything associated with it. New jobs are always exciting but so demanding.
I love the $5 quilt (Im also an iron avoider and often joke when I get rich Im going to pass someone to be my personal seam presser!)
Oh, Jackie ~ Jenny Bean looks beautiful all dressed up. Congratulations!
Best of luck at your new job! Hopefully they will go easy on the questions for you.
Jenny Bean looks fabulous!
And I get the point about taking a break when you get to the ironing!
Good luck on the presentation. Just act confident and I'm sure you can finesse any questions you can't really answer. ;-)
Jenny Bean looks great! The frame is perfect. Good luck with the presentation.

Such a lovely frame for Jenny Bean, Jackie--great choice! And your quilt is wonderful--good luck with all that ironing...
Hope your presentation goes well--that is my absolute biggest fear--public speaking. I so admire those of you who can get up there and do it. I'm sure you'll be great :)
Jenny Bean looks great in her frame. I love that frame.
Same goes for your quilt. Looks lovely, great colors.
Good luck with your presentation. :)
Good luck with your presentation. I hope you can pull it together and answer questions on it at the same time!! Your quilt looks good, and that frame is perfect for the piece.
It is just gorgeous Jackie. I love the frame. Your quilt is lovely as well. Good luck with the presentation and have a great week!
Good luck with the new job and with your presentation.
Your framed piece is terrific, Jackie. And I love the look of the quilt so far. I try to do all the ironing as I go (of the seams) so it isn't as overwhelming at the end! Good luck studying for your presentation...I know you'll do well.
You did such a beautiful stitching job on Jenny Bean, and I love your choice of frame! It goes so well with the sampler. Your quilt is looking beautiful too! I love the name $5 Quilt.
Good luck with your new job, and I hope your presentation goes smooth for you. If you get nervous just hug that cute little puppy!
LOVE the sampler, frame is perfect! Your doggie is too cute. Dogs (and kids) are hard to photograph, that's for sure! Good luck in Texas, you'll be fine. I'll miss your blog posts, and I'll try to keep you entertained with a few of my own. haha
oh very beautiful
I love the lovely dog
bisous bisous de france

What a beautiful frame! It's antique looks sets off your stitching!
Cute pup!
We'll miss you --- come back soon and good luck with your presentation.
How wonderful to frame finished needlework in order to admire every day. Very cool indeed and it's beautiful. Good luck with your presentation, you'll do great!!
I love your Jenny Bean piece, beautiful ;)
Cody is a cute Cairn. I want to see your other one, I will try to find a pic of him.

Oh my goodness, I love the way it came out!! The frame is perfect. It's just lovely. :)
Good luck with your presentation!!
You picked the perfect frame for your Jenny Bean piece! Just perfect! I'll bet you were thrilled to have it back. And your quilt looks just wonderful. I'm so envious of that applique!! I hear you on the ironing - I don't mind clipping threads, but I hate all that ironing!
Cute picture of Cody and what is it with those darned dogs. Bailey will do the same thing - he'll almost ham it up and then when I'm ready to shoot - he'll look away.
And good luck with your presentation. I don't envy you that procress.
The frame fits perfectly for the design, gorgeous!
Goodluck with your presentation!
The cross stitch is very pretty.
Wow your JB looks fantastic Jackie! A perfect frame :)
Beautiful quilt too.
Good luck with your presentation!
Congrats on your job promotion :o)
That dog is ADORABLE! :)
Oh, Jackie, your JB is beautiful! LOVE IT!
Congratulations on your new job! Love the stitching and the frame :-)
Love your stitchery and the frame, it's beautiful! Good luck with the presentation.
Gorgeous stitching and framing. How is the new job going? x
Good luck, but I'm sure you won't need it! :) Your framed piece is just gorgeous. I love the frame you picked.
I will come iron your quilt Jackie...I like to iron. :-) The framed JB sampler is gorgeous. Speaking of gorgeous, that is Cody! Even if he does not appreciate being your model.
Congratulations on the new job and good luck with the presentation!
Hugs from Holland ~

Hallow Eden is Wonderful! I never noticed those starbursts before now--they are interesting, though. :D Glad to hear that you enjoyed a wonderful low-tech getaway. :) Also, congrats on your promotion.
Oh, Snow Garden is Beautiful! Def. one of my favorite anniversaries.
Jenny Bean is stunning framed! OOh, how wonderful! Also, your $5 quilt is a whole other beast with the sashing in between the blocks. :o (I think it's called sashing...)
I'm still dreaming of the day I frame my first piece; wonder what it should be! Good luck with your cram session and presentation.
Jenny Bean looks awesome, I do love that frame. I'm very curious to see more of your $5 quilt.
I hope your presentation went well and that you love your new job.
