First I finally finished the pieces for the Polychrome Palooza project. I still need to assemble everything, but I figure that's something to do on a day i'm home sick from work and looking for something to stave off the boredom.
Then I FINALLY did the commemorative sampler from last spring's stitching retreat.It was a quick piece. I whomped most of it out while I was sitting at the car mechanic's garage waiting for my car to be winterized.
Then there was the nametag for the upcoming stitching retreat. But you can't see that one yet because it's a surprise for the retreat in March.
In addition to all the little things I've been assiduously working on the Quaker Gameboard. Here's the last WIP photo from the end of October:
And here's where I'm at as of 10:30pm last night:
This week I'll be heading to Portland, OR for the holidays. I'm planning on taking this project with me and also "Merry and Bright". I'm hoping to get a decent amount done on each while I'm on the planes and also hanging out in the airport. I have a nice 4 hour layover in Chicago that will allow some quality stitching/people-watching time.
Oh and.... I had a lovely attack of the greedies and ended up getting a number of new stitching patterns (like I really need them). Moon N Starz Cat, Rottweiler, Whimsical French Bulldog and Purple Dragon. And at the end of October I ordered more Silkweaverfabric (again, like I need it). Due to a rush on the limited edition colors it took a little while for me to get it, so I had a nice mail day recently when it all came in. I didn't get a photo of it all but here's the list of what I picked up and some images following from the website:
