Counted Cross Stitch

I started a new counted Cross stitch project. I started by looking at patterns from Lori Holt. I love this one and it has a great quote from Jane Austin on it. 

It feels good to count again. It's hard to explain, but it is something I love. 

When it's cold outside, sew inside. 

A new quilt

My daughters friend, Katie, from ccrestview.quilts, sent this sweet little quilt. 

It was really cute and it was really kind of her to send it. 

I returned home and had a day to work on the blessing dress. After Internet searches and looking for patterns I settled on this. 

I am using Callies wedding dress fabric. 

I decided to go with the tucks  , I hope the lace and fabric work with me. 

I also quilted for a couple of hours on Donna's quilt it's coming along nicely. 

New Years Goals

Don't forget to hold a needle everyday....

May this year be kind to you.....
