I'm really enjoying this piece. It's tiny (stitching it on 40 count linen, over 2, but still the tiniest I've ever done) but I love the colors and I love the pattern. So...even though it's slow going (or feels like slow going!) it's fun to stitch.
And on a non-stitching note - had a really fun day today - my niece Stacey and her husband Paul (along with one of their daughters) have July birthdays, one of their sons has a birthday in June, and another daughter has her birthday in August. They have one more son who's the "odd man out" with a February birthday. So...we had a family get together at a local lake complete with picnic lunch, a rented party boat, swimming for the kids, and just all in all a lot of fun! Those of you who were following my blog last year at around this time might remember Anthony - he's the one with the June birthday. He spent his third birthday (last summer) in the hospital having surgery for kidney cancer (had a SEVEN pound tumor removed). Well...it's now a year later. He got his porta-cath removed last month (that's the way they deliver chemo drugs) which is the real sign that he is done with all of his treatments, and can get on with his life! What a difference a year makes! He turned 4 in June, and he'll start pre-school this fall. We are all SO thrilled!!!
Anyway...that's it for now! Thanks for checking out my blog!

MawMaw's Quilt is lovely ... better get to work on that border.
So happy to hear Anthony is doing so well.
I must say I am reall impressed the this project. To be honest when I saw the picture on the chart I didn't think it was all that great but seeing you stitch it has certainly changed my mind. It's so pretty. It looks great.
SO happy to hear about Anthony. That is wonderful for him.

Nice progress on your quilt and don't sell yourself short.....40 ct is tiny, even if it is over 2!!!! You have to SEE the 2 to get over them! LOL
Great news about Anthony too. I bet a huge weight has been lifted from everyone seeing him get healthy again.
MawMaw's quilt is coming a long. It is beautiful! I, too, love the colors of it!
Congrats on the good news!
