Heirloom Nativity…

One of my June goals is to finish Heirloom Nativity. I have been working on that. First I spent what seemed like an eternity stitching the kloster blocks.

Making Progress on Those June Goals Despite a Fun Interruption

I spent all of last week stitching Kloster Blocks on the Heirloom Nativity! My goodness…they are more time consuming that I thought they would be! You really have to pay attention. I’ve had to do a bit of picking out… I guess I am 3/4 done. I can’t wait to start the eyelets and cutting! I love doing the woven […]
