Guild Class "Vanilla Fields"

Back on the Saturday the 9th, we had a workshop that was taught by one of our guild members. We had about 19 in attendance and everyone had a great time cutting, stitching and learning as well as cutting up with everyone there.

The class was called "Vanilla Fields" and we had two options of colors to use. One was tone on tone in creams - anywhere from white to tans and the other option was scrappy.  I choose scrappy in civil wars and creams.  This is the color palette I chose.

New Family Member

We have a new family member.  His name is Jake and he is about 5 months old.  He is a Jack Russell mix and full of energy.
 

You may remember that we lost our Maggie in October.  It was just not the same without her there.  So we decided to get another pooch.  He is a rescue and is learning the ropes.  We have had him about a month now and he is already doing tricks.  He can sit, shake and speak when asked.  We are trying to teach him to catch when we throw a ball or food to him also.  Our Maggie did all these things.  He loves to entertain his self.  He gets the toys and throws them and then goes to get them.

He is already getting the sewing habit,. LOL  He has found my bobbins and was chewing on one last night.

He also loves to climb in my lap in the mornings after we go out and get loved on.

Hope he turns out to be as good a dog as our precious Maggie was.

Happy Stitching Everyone!

Christmas Projects

Along with finishing the donation quilt for Church and working on the mug rugs I mentioned in a previous post, I was making Christmas ornaments for gifts and for our tree.

Here are a few of the mug rugs that were made by Connie for me.  She pieced the top and some of the backings and bindings and I did the embroidery on them.

I have several other projects going on and will be posting about them later.

Happy Stitching Everyone!
