Boo Flips

Superbowl Tree

Boo Flips
I finished the rotation on my boo flips by Just Nan.  I completed the "pumpkin" and "fright" patches during the rotation.  I'm almost finished with "brew".  The wording is complete.  I just need to finish the cauldron and witch hat then stitch the broom.  I also stitched a little more on Roger's Superbowl tree.  Now I get to put Fish City back in the rotation.

Pre-Birthday Celebration


Blue Jean Teddy Quilt

Superbowl Tree

My first-grade team is taking me out for our birthday/Christmas celebration tomorrow so I'm not going to my stitching night.  So I decided to treat myself to some pre-birthday stitching tonight.  I was able to finish the rotation on my blue jean teddy baby quilt and get myself halfway finished with Roger's superbowl tree.  Woo-hoo.  I also posted a picture of my Christmas lights.  I'm really proud of myself!

Sampler Club

A few years ago, the Tuesday night stitching club began our sampler club.  Half of us are working on a Christmas sampler by Victoria Sampler; the other half is working on an alphabet sampler by Drawn Threads.  We haven't been getting together lately, so I'm not getting anything done on my sampler (I don't know how to do hardanger).  I talked to Diane and she agreed to let me start the sampler club back up and running in January.  So I'll be busy again the 3rd Thursday of each month.

Needlepoint

Nutcracker Needlepoint
Mom and I worked LPB's pledge drive tonight.  After running errands and answering phones all day, I decided to snuggle up with the kitty and get some stitching done.  I finished my nutcracker needlepoint rotation!  I finished his hat and the top part of his face (up to his eyes).  This needlepoint piece is the whole reason I do rotation stitching in the first place.  If it wasn't for forcing myself to add it to the rotation, it would never get stitched on because I am not a needlepoint fan.  It's such a cute piece though so I need to stitch on it.
