Shocking that I am already back again right?! It was a month absences so I have a lot to say! I only finished a few things but my friends did something so fun that I Had to mention it! Jessica and Sharon did the shop hop in Colorado and they were sad that I couldn't go-so they figured out a way to take me with them!!

Wasn't that fun! I wish I could really have been with them! They got me a surprise-don't know what it is yet! Fun! Aren't they adorable?!
I am still working on Renato Parolin's Noel
Turns out they are HUGE! Yes, it said so on the pattern but I was so excited to have another of his patterns that I didn't think about it. There are four and they are 11x11 yikes!
On the trip to Colorado I took Quaker Turtle by With My Needle. I'm not gonna lie to you- I hated working on them. Over one on 32 count takes some getting used to plus little glasses and lots of light. Then I had to put them together. They turned out cute. I didn't like the needlebook cover so I made the pocket into a needlebook. Also, there was some crazy loop directions that I couldn't understand so I used a robin to bow for the buttons. Works great.

| Ribbon attaches to the 2 buttons -Damn it the trail is on upside down |
 |
| Backs- see how small they are! |
Jessica put together this t-shirt quilt for me. I tied it and added the binding. There will be two quilts-Scott has been dragging these shirts around for years. There were 5 shirts left over I made into pillows

| Scott framed this for me.I made it last year. Chessie and Me -Buzzing Round You. |
I am currently working on four projects.I am working on an ornament on my lunch breaks. I am quilting a small quilt by hand 2 nights a week. I am working on a WIP 2 nights a week-to get my WIPs down-Little House Needleworks "Orchard Valley Quilting Bee" is the one I chose. I am working on Noel 2 nights a week. I just bought the limited edition Just Nan
"Charming House Of Lindy Mouse" Yeah I KNOW - I didn't need another project. I BOUGHT IT ANYWAY -adorable.
I guess that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a stitchy day with fun friends!
Looks like CO was fun!

You are one very busy girl!! First, what good friends with a great sense of humor!! I bet you miss them. The turtles are very cute but I hate over one anything!Your WIP is so pretty! The quilt is great. So you are hand quilting, it took me 8 years to hand quilt a queen size quilt and now I'm afraid to use it!!!!
