WIP Wednesday and the postman arrived

I know it is Thursday but yesterday was just too busy to post but I wanted to link up with the Needle and Thread Network for WIP Wednesday :-) 
 I am really enjoying the Home Sweet Home Penny Rug BOM from Melody of the House on the side of the Hill and am pleased with myself as I am all caught up for this month .
 A really fun project . I also got the star block finished up for last week with Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts ,I am enjoying these as well.Here are the three so far , it is not too late you can easily catch up so why not check it out .
 This is rather pitiful but I started this little stitchery maybe two years ago , it is part of a runner and each end has embroidery , I even have the main part of the runner sewn together and it was when I came across that part of the runner that I realized I must find the stitchery and get that finished , well I have one end completed now and have started the second end , hope it won't take another two years to complete that ;-)
 The pattern can be found in Australian Country Threads vol 7 No.4 and is designed by Brenda Ryan ,maybe I will show you the completed runner real soon .
 As my post title says the postman arrived with some goodies for me , a short while ago I won some magazines from Terry of Terry's Treasures and was only expecting magazines but Terry was more than generous and included a few extras , there were three wonderful American Patchwork magazines, a sweet little pincushion that she made , plus two patterns  "Gardens I Dream About "by the Hopskotch Quilting Co. and a Project Pocket pattern by Blue Willow Designs .Thanks so much Terry I really appreciate your kindness and for making my day special .
Thanks for stopping by , be sure to visit the Needle and Threadnetwork , I promise you will be inspired . Oh and if you have not entered my giveaway be sure to go here  .
 Hugs Sheila

  9. Congrats on working on your embroidered project, it is so much harder to re-start one than to commence a new one (not that I'd have any experience, lol).
