Thank you all for your sweet comments on my last post. Thank you also to the two readers who contacted me to let me know Maria Phinney wasn't really fully completed. That is, unless I intended to leave off her head!!! Thankfully, this project was at home and not at the framers. She is still unfinished but I will get to it. I jumped around a lot on this project and was running very very very short of the thread color that is used on Eve (Flax from Weeks and I used most of a second skein to finish this). Since this wasn't at the framers, I am able to find some humor in this!
I also wanted to share a updated photo of And They Sinned. This is how it sits today. I'm enjoying every stitch but other things have been capturing my interest lately.
I finished the stitching on this Erica Michaels berry called Sampler Berry. I ended up stitching half of this twice due to a counting mistake and it still stitched up pretty quickly. Our guild was to have a berry finishing class which has been delayed but I will get it FFO'd at some point.
Sewing wise, I've joined the BOM program through The Quilted Moose for the Fairhaven quilt. I was going to do the appliqué by hand but I have to admit, I'm having second thoughts on that. I'm doing the dark background as shown below in this photo from the quilt shop.
I've been working on my Yankee Doodle Dandy quilt too but the updated photo really doesn't show much progress. I'll save the next update on this project to hopefully be a finish.
Hard to believe it is October and the busy holiday season is starting! I hope your week is enjoyable and all your stitches are happy ones!
