So here is to everyone having a delightful day today!
I did get some sewing done this week--
First --I did start sewing the tulip blocks together--they are done on angle so it takes time to think out each row before sewing them together--I did not get it done--each day I thought I would get back to it--but you all know how life is?????
I did get a crewel embroidery piece all finished-
This was in my Christmas box from Anne--so it only took me 4 months to get it done--there was alot of stitches in this one--
And I remembered that I had gotten another one she sent done, but never finished it off--so one afternoon instead of working on the tulip quilt--I played around and finished them both off--
and I even got them hung up on my pansy wall--
Plus one of my birthday cards had pansies on it--it is over the lamp!!!
And here is where I am on my counted cross Spring piece--
Just two more squares to stitch in--and yes--I did move the birdhouse block to the center of this one--it was suppose to be the last one--oh well!!!!!!
And this week's heart block is done--now it was suppose to have a row of buttons going in a heart shape inside the heart--but it is hard for me to put buttons on things until after I get them sewed together and hand quilted--so--mine is different---
and here is all the blocks so far--
And I got one of my birthday gifts all stitched up--
I also walked overtown and went to the thrift store and here is what followed me home--
a little Amish type doll--that probably nobody but me would want to give her a home--she's happy now and loved--and behind her is an oval frame--for maybe the teacup and saucer cross stitch piece when it is done-- also a t-shirt with 3 sail boats on it-that is in the laundry--so no photo!!!
and a new teacup and saucer--
actually--2 of them--the little white one is for my new daughter in law--she has one of those fancy coffee things--!!! the other one is for me--

Red Lobster sounds yummy! I just love this weeks heart block and your spring cross stitch is looking great. Enjoy the races.
You had a wonderfully productive week! I really love those heart blocks, very cute. Hope this week has been as good on a stitching front.
