Embroidery finished!

Boy is this picture washed out!  Anyway, I figured I better finish the little bits of embroidery left before I lose this again.  I stitched on his face and the two pumpkin stems.  I better think about how to quilt this  so I can enjoy it this coming fall!

Found!

 I may be losing my mind a bit.  I found my Pumpkin Headed Scarecrow quilt that was missing.  Guess where it was?  It was quietly hanging on a hanger with my other Quilts In Progress.  And I had unpacked my zipper pouch that went with it because all I had left to stitch was the dern face.  *sigh* I despair of myself.  I'll post a pic here after I get the face stitched on.

At least I think this is the last of the MIA projects.  I think. . .

Missing? Lost??

 I really hate it when I misplace a project.  I'm currently missing two.

The first is the Texas Lightning Cowl. I'm knitting it with Independence Wool Texas Tweed that I bought from Hill Country Weavers.  I started knitting it for my great-aunt but had to put it aside when I found out about her death. (edited to add: I found this knitting in my beach bag.  I have no idea when I took this project to the beach!)

The second project is Sunflowers and Scarecrows by Jan Patek.  The pattern appeared in Primitive Quilts and Projects but I think I bought a kit from Jan.  I decided to embroider all over the quilt top and I put it aside when I was having trouble getting my angle right on a stem.  I think I had it out last summer??? No idea where it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't this cute?  It's an Jan Patek pattern I've been wanting to make for ages!

And other projects. . .

So I'm working out some sizing issues on my Goose Chase quilt.

And I have made a good start on my scarecrow quilt.  I actually fused everything down Saturday afternoon and took it to embroider on at my mom's for movie night.  This picture was taken before I started stitching.  After I get a little farther I'm post a better pic.

my lunch today

More fabric for mom's quilt-I plan to border it and back it with the shell fabric.

The red/brown print will be binding for yesterday's prim santa.

The dots. . .not quite sure but may use them on the pilgrims.  I couldn't find more of the fabric I needed so I may need to try something else.

ran out of fabric!

I was working on the seashell quilt for my mom and ran out of fabric.  So I picked up my pilgrims-would like to finish that this year.  And I ran out of fabric.  So I made this primitive Santa instead.  It's a Jan Patek pattern that I have been wanting to do for years.  It needs a bit more quilting and then binding.  I think I'm going to wash this one and get it all crinkly and vintage looking.

Cozy Cabin

Jan Patek had a free pattern download on her blog-and you could order a scrap bag and a tiny 2.5 inch charm pack. So this is what I did today! I still need to tone down that little window-it's far too white for this little runner.
