WIP Wednesday

It is that time of week again when I link up to The Needle and Thread Network  , a blog where Canadian craft people can show what they are working on in the past week.
 I am working on lots of things but don't have a lot of progress to show you . I did finish off the Debbie Mumm quilt I posted about that earlier and yesterday I finished off this little stitchiery which was a Friday Freebie from dear Kaaren of the Painted Quilt , Kaaren is extra generous with her beautiful designs and I really enjoy stitching them . The table top frame was a Christmas gift and I really wanted something to try it out . When I finished this yesterday I decided to color in the flower and leaves with colored pencils and crayons and I like the effect .I love to color ;-)
Here is a close up of the flower.
I am also hand quilting my Henrietta Whiskers quilt on my new to me frame and so far so good .
 This was a free BOM from Bunny Hill Designs last year and so much fun to make.
 On the topic of BOM'S I completed the stitching on last month block for Shell of Raspberry Rabbits and have sewn it to the January block , another really fun one to do , check it out her link is on my sidebar and it really wouldn't take all that long to catch up , I know you will be tempted when you see this it is just so cute.
I did get some more work done on the Ten Challenge and now need to decide on borders , what color as well as how big but hope to have that finished real soon.
Along with that my SAHRR is still waiting for that applique to be sewn down , I will get to it I promise Sunny, my problem is I get sidetracked real easy like here ....
 My son told me that Sophia and Isaac love to play I spy and since I already made them an I Spy quilt I decided to make them some placemats to use , lots of small pieces to cut and sew but I think they will have fun with this . So that is my week in a nutshell , how did yours go . To see what other Canucks have been up to be sure to check out the Needle and Threadnetwork. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs Sheila
