It's amazing what three days off work can do. I feel relaxed and rested even though I did a bunch of chores, the grocery shopping, some garden work and even an hour long Fire safety thing at work!
Amid all of that I made time to sew, and I have sewn up a storm. Well part of one. I managed to complete the last of the B windswept blocks.
And today I made the first fifteen C blocks.
They will eventually all go together with the A blocks
And my Autumnal windswept quilt will one day be whole.
Not really the finish you were hoping for?
How about this one?
Happily Ever After.
Not quite a wedding sampler, but it shares the same sentiment.
I will gift this to Joe and Lee.
It has stopped and started throughout the year, but here it is, finally completed and in a frame.
So what's next?
I should be working on two more Christmas ornaments, but instead I found myself pulling out something completely different.
I adopted this woodland sampler at an Altrusa craft sale last year. No chart, no threads just an almost complete design for $2.
A plea to a facebook cross stitch group revealed that the design was published in a needlework magazine back in 1991!
I did find a copy of said magazine on ebay for a not so terrible price, but thought maybe I could wing it.
I spent some time this afternoon sorting threads for the floral border. And this evening I have managed to complete the bottom border except for the orange needed for the centers of some of the flowers.
I'll go to the sewing center tomorrow, before club.
Tomorrow is patchwork club AGM, then sit and sew Saturday. I'll be taking my blue lanterns EPP. It is so very close to being finished. I'm excited to have a completed top so that I can move on to a new challenge.

That was my exciting news.
Bedtime methinks.
