July Exchange Gift






I belong to a group that has an exchange in July. I finished my JEG and I am excited to be sending it off this week to it's recipient. I am pretty sure she will like it. I found the design online and changed the colors and part of the design. I'm please with how it turned out. I can't show whose initials are on it because it's a surprise.

This is still so new to me and I'm enjoying spending time reading blogs that I forget to post on mine. LOL

July Exchange Gift

I belong to an online group called Victoria Cyber Stitchers. We've all taken a Victoria Sampler online class. I'm working on my July Exchange Gift for _____. (Gotta keep it a secret until July 25, 2009) I love that I'm stitching something again. I have a one month old Grandson (he is GRAND!) and it seems that I don't have time to get anything done what with being grandma and my other mother/wife responsibilities. I've put my quilting aside for this month and am stitching a wonderful gift tin for the exchange. I found a free chart from Valentine's Day and changed the colors and used only parts of it for my design. I really like how it is turning out. I am almost ready to put it together. I still have to make a scissors fob to go with the tiny scissors that will fit into the tin but I think it's going to be delightful. I want to make one for myself! LOL

Happy New Year!

Well it's a few days into the new year and I'm thrilled the kids are back in school. I have the house back to myself during the day and today I spent it cleaning up my quilting area. It was not a success because it's not cleaner but I did find some quilt tops that I had been missing! LOL I need more storage! I want to get rid of the piano in my room and put storage in it's place but Scot loves the piano even though nobody plays it anymore. I'll get it dealt with eventually and it will be storage space at some point this year. I'd like to get some photos up here but I'm still learning how this whole blogging thing works and haven't gotten that far yet. Lots of things to learn this year!
