Been Awhile....

It's been a while since I've wandered over here in blog land. I've been reading everyone else's blogs from time to time but just haven't been keeping up with mine. I lost my stitching mojo for a while and just couldn't seem to finish anything and nothing would hold my interest. Over the last month or so the stitching bug is finally returning and I've been able to finish my Lizzie Kate "Living with Charm" piece. I did NOT use the charms on this one because I like it just fine without them. I think I may make this into a wall quilt. Here she is in all her glory.....

My group KraftersKorner is doing a RR and after searching for just the right piece to do, I finally found just the right chart in one of my older UK magazines. I've left the middle 3 sqares for each person to stitch and sign and then when it comes home to me, I'll let the group vote on how to finish it. It was a little bit of a switch for me since this is 18 count aida and I usually stick with 32 count but I liked the color and it was the right size fabric so voila! Here is my piece waiting to be sent to the next person.....

My other group, the Stitcherhood, is having a challenge to get so many projects done before we buy new stash. I've fallen off the wagon and had to restart so I thought to myself the best way to complete those 10 projects is to finish some of the UFO's & WIPS I have laying around. I've had this next project sitting here for months just waiting to be picked up. It's Lizzie Kate's "Christmas by the Letter". I'm going to try to get this one finished soon and it will also be a wall quilt for the holidays. Here's my progress so far:

Not much else going on in my world at the moment. The kids start back to school at the end of August and I am so ready! I need some "me" time again! Hope this stitching bug hangs around for a while, maybe I'll actually update this little boring blog a bit more often. Hugs to all and happy Stitching!
