LAST SUNDAY IN FEBRUARY--

 So it's time for some --"What did I accomplish in  February stuff!!!"

First is--

and I did get this project to the finished top stage--

This is an older set of blocks I did and they have waited a while to get even this far--

then there was waiting for the right fabrics for the 2 borders--that lighter one took a couple tries in ordering fabric on line to get it right!!!  And this one --is one that did come out larger than I thought it would so now it has to wait  awhile longer to be layered and basted until I can find a larger table!!

but at least in this stage I can enjoy it awhile hanging on the wall --as is!!!

And here is the '4' blocks I chose to do this month--out of the book The Splendid Sampler--

which I am naming--'Di's 2021' quilt project-

I already showed you the one heart in the lower right hand corner--the other three where just made--

the embroidered one--I spent time off and on this past week doing--the upper left had one is foundation paper pieced and I did that one yesterday afternoon and I was amazed that I remember how to do paper piecing as it has been a very long time since I have done any!!!  and that '6' heart one was also a challenge yesterday--as the little hearts there on the tops of them to make them heart shaped--those are just 1" squares to make those corners!!!!!  And did you notice a theme here for February's picks????

For--Slow Stitching Sunday--

Here is where I am on my counted cross stitching--I am on the second pattern now--

I am still--yep--still waiting on my red threads to come in so I can pick a color I like--hopefully that order will be here in the next couple days--!!!  So both of these will look different when the thread gets here--but in the meantime--I can work around it!!!!

And today is the last day to embroider on this years Crabapple Hill stitchery for the month--

and I have kept up with each day's rectangle--and plan to finish the last one later this afternoon while watching the race--so will show that soon!!!

And we are on to the color 'green'---for March--

and a new number for the Dirty Dozen will be chosen tomorrow--

and the second step for the new Hand piecing project will be out tomorrow--

so lots of fun work happening this next week!!!
