I really have been busy

While I was on the Alaskan trips I took several things to work on by hand.
I just can't stand to be still.
I love doing handwork.


I got all the center circles on my Steam Punk blocks.

I worked on the flower stems and leaves on the top block.
Finished my forget-me-not block, now to make it into a zipper pouch.
I did a few more embroidery stitches on my crazy quilt blocks.
Made the hexie flowers for another row by row strip.
Did finish 2 and a half blocks for my spiderweb quilt.
Oh, and we made a little bag to test out the decorative stitches on the sewing machines we used for classes.

What do you think?
I added embroidery stitches as accents.

Here is what that completed row looks like.
There are times when it is just easier to do applique by hand.
I think this makes 18 down.

And now the new H2O theme for the Row by Row has started.
Let's see I get this year.

Hope you are having a great week.
Mary
