He was happy with how the costume turned out so I was relieved! They each had the same big blue feather in their hats. I don't know where that sword

She did a wonderful job on her quilt and it is inspiring to see her quilt top already finished!
The costumes turned out really well. You did a great job. Block 4 is so pretty. Is this a block-of-the-month ? I have admired Darlenes quilt before and it is beautiful !
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have your Journey of a Quilter to work on while at the hospital. Molly is too cute as Santa and the guys look great in their costumes, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking costumes. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you're working on your Quilter's Journey while you're spending time with your Mom at the hospital. And, it's looking superb. You'll have it finished before you know it.
Nice costumes you finished. Puppy is especially cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat you are working on some embroidery while visiting at the hospital. You'll be finished before you know it.
I can see you did a good job on the costume! I understand why your son was happy about it!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you can sit and stitch a little when go to see your MIL. Hope she's still recovering.
Oh... I didn't know you were doing the Quilter's Journey! I still have mine unwrapped! It's turning out sweet! Are you using your own fabric or is this a kit? Sorry to read about your MIL. Hope she is well soon! Keep well!
