I’m very close on Oakley Owlet thanks to a return to weekend baseball tournaments. They are limiting fans so we are livestreaming my #1 son’s games from home. Convenient! Can you tell I’ve made progress on Autumn Quakers since last week? I can. But then when I pull it out of the hoop and look …

And…I have gotten back into Heirloom Nativity. I took out the work that I wasn’t pleased with (the top middle section) …
This week I finished Scattered Seed’s The Little Strawberry Thief! It is so cute! The strawberry finish should be a cinch. And now, since it is done earlier than I expected, I will try to finish my Bit of Summer pindrum from Blackbird Designs for my small this month. I made good progress this week: …
This week I finished up November from The Snowflower Diaries’ Joyful World… And the Heart’s Content Mini Motif Sampler Fall Foliage: I’m so happy with these two! Now on to December and to frame the sampler. The kit came with a gorgeous tiny burled wood frame. The Little Strawberry Thief is coming along-hope to get …
