This month I finished this redwork for the Christmas Item of the month .I really enjoy doing redwork and this pattern was a free download from Kaaren of the Painted Quilt ,if you have never visited her blog you really should it is so interesting, she is so talented and so willing to share her gifts of creativity ,check out the list for Friday Freebies ,lots of great patterns .Thanks to Narelle for hosting the one Christmas item a month and to see more creative projects check here on Narelle's blog for the list of those participating this month .
I managed to make the Henrietta Whiskers block for this month still need to add some eyes and some embroidery for the pumpkins but the rest is finished , these are such fun blocks and I am using up some scraps to make this so it is a win win situation. I had good reason for not getting much sewing done on the weekend , we had visitors , the very best kind , our youngest son Chad and his family . It was wonderful to have Nila and Elise for a couple of days they sure fill the house with joy and laughter . I love having them around ,it is non stop fun ;-) I hope you had a wonderful Easter as well , thanks so much for stopping by .hugs Sheila
Good for you! I was trying to make one cross stitched ornament a month, but quickly bjowed out. There are just too many other things that I would rather be working on. I love your redwork, and I'm a fan of Kaaren's!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Sheila; keeping up with the challenge....and the Henrietta block is lovely
