Sunday is my day to stitch on The Alpabet Sampler-With My Needle.
 Monday is for stitching on The ABCs of Aging Artfully-Lizzie Kate.
 Tuesday I am rotating the 15 pieces I chose for my challange WIPs started Jan 2011. This is the third in the Ellen Maurer Stoh Flower of the Month-March Jonquil flower.

Hello Joyce,
I really enjoy looking at your posts on Facebook, and now I can look here as well. Such fun! You are so lucky to have the opportunity to spend time on your favorite hobbies. You do lovely work, too! With kids still at home and college full time, there never seems to be enough hours in the day for me to spend playing, but I try to do something every day! After all, a girl has to have something to look forward to! I hope you have a great week, and look forward to hearing all your news next Sunday. Cheery thoughts and blessings for you and your family!!!

Congratulations on your new car. I can't believe how much stitching you have on the go and it looks great. I love the Nora Corbett one and the fabric is wonderful.

Denise SA said...

As always thank you for sharing progress pics and also how you organise your rotations. I do have lots I stitching but I work best by concentrating and finishing one at a time. It is ok for SALs as I finish one part and then go to something different but if I have all the chart I like to finish.
