Embroidery

I'm starting to get through my days and work on things. Some projects are almost done, some I've just started. I had taken a Redwork embroidery class last month before moving and I finally got done with my second piece. The workshop was put on by my quilt guild and Beth B. Dix was the instructor. The teacup is her pattern and I love how it turned out.

I've also finished the rough draft of a short story that I've been working on for awhile. And I was four days ahead of time. My first deadline I've met. I've been sketching new dolls to make and I have a new embroidery design ready to go.

I've also been reconnecting to friends I haven't seen in about six years because I've been in North Carolina. Still not used to the weather or the humongous amount of travel needed to get anywhere but I will get used to it. It's nice seeing the wildlife around the pond and have seen two muskrats along with the ducks, geese, and a hawk. Oh, and this mutant squirrel that's as big as a cat. Unbelievable but it is so. I will really work on getting more pics posted. Thanks for hanging around.

Forsyth Piecers and Quilters Guild Party

My quilt guild's holiday party was also this week. Two parties in a week, I don't think I ever did that when I was younger. And some of the members decorated the tables. Once again, the food was good and there was lots of talking and laughter.

Loved the different themes. There was a winner for one of the tables and I can't remember which one and there were door prizes and I won one. It was fun at the end of the year.
