I'm still alive!! ;o)

Greetings dear friends and blogging buddies!~ Yes, you read right! I'm still alive! I have been pretty busy and also have not had use of the camera, (kept forgetting to buy new batteries) so I have been out for a bit. I am really making a nasty habbit of this am I not? I must stop that!!

Well, as I said, I have been busy. I have had a naked sheep since Christmas and thought I better do something about that! So I have made a new blanket for my little sheep. I used some blue and red striped flannel I had and then stitched the flag portion of a Bent Creek pattern and there you go, my sheep is no longer naked!

Well that put me in a rather patriotic mood and that resulted in me buying myself a birthday present. I ordered the Wishing Thee Freedom chart from Homespun Elegance and got it stitched up. I stitched it on a smaller piece of linen because I plan on making it into a pillow so it wasn't necessary to have a regular sized border for framing. I need to get the brass buttons ordered and then the fabric purchased. When I have that completed I will show you the finished product.

I stitched on Quaker Alphabet Sampler as far as the thread would go and need to get some more ordered so I can get it finished. This is where I left off.

I also got all the little cowboys rounded up, er I mean, I got the Li'l Cowpokes quilt all done and ready to give to the baby I made it for when the time comes. Which is just around the corner. I hand quilted it in a large cross hatch and then for the border, I just did straight lines out. I love how it came out!

Guess that does it for me! Wonder if I will be back on Monday. Hmm... if you are wondering too, then maybe you should stop by and see. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a warm one! Thanks for stopping by and gving me some of your time!

'til next time,

don't be a stranger,
