Hi everyone! Just thought I'd update you on my projects. I spent this morning vacuuming (how exciting) and then pinning my quilt top to the backing. I am a big fan of pins as you'll see in the photo of my quilt. I hope to make the backing and binding the same color (navy with hearts). I may get this quilt done in the next week as my husband is gone for work for nearly 2 weeks. I'll have lots of free time after my daughter goes to sleep at night to get it done. I think I'll stitch in the ditch for it all as I don't have a free motion sewing machine. Since I don't have a table dedicated to sewing, I use a bed to lay my quilts on. I put plastic place mats underneath it to pin against. It's amazing what you can get to work when you don't have any other options :)
Below is my current cross stitch project. I am making it for my personal collection. I'm hoping to hang it in my sewing room when we move back to the US. It's a HUGE project. I like to sit and sew while I watch Downton Abbey at night. Yes, I realize I'm already an old lady at heart ;)
It's hard to keep this cross stitch tight as it takes up the entire wooden cross stitch frame.
