There are lots of hilarious and blurry photos. The pumpkin was tippy and not quite flat on the bottom, but we finally did finally get a good one. It was so much fun!
Another fun thing I did this week was to make a flosstube video showing the projects I worked on in October.
I show 2 mini finishes, a few started projects, a wonderfully creative stitchy bag (made by fellow slow stitcher Deanna), and I opened up the Fat Quarter's 2024 Spooky Box.
I look forward to making the Witchy Manor project (using the fabric bundle called Pumpkins and Potions) at my quilt guild retreat later in November. I am thinking of only making the top part and not putting all those HST blocks on the bottom. Such a fun treat box for quilters!
Here is a photo of one of my recently started projects. It is called "Look for the Beauty" by Bent Creek. It's a small start, and I am substituting a lot of the floss for other flosses that I have on hand. The bird was stitched in a Roxy floss colour called "Annie". I hope this project turns out okay using my leftover flosses.
Last night we turned our clocks back for the end of daylight saving time, so it will be dark at suppertime now. That's okay... I have this great memory to enjoy and lots of quilts to keep me warm through the winter.
Your turn now - what are you stitching this week?
We hope you will link up your blog post and share your projects with us.
Ahhhh, what a cute photoshoot of the new addition. Photoshoots can be frustrating, so glad you were able to laugh about it. Enjoy your new Halloween project and your hand stitching projects.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable photo of your grandbaby, Kathy! That spooky box looks like it was full of fun things, too. I love your new start as well. Enjoy your stitching today!
ReplyDeleteLucky you getting to stitch at the beach!
ReplyDeleteI love those newborn photo shoots. You and your daughter did a wonderful job. I’m a great believer in using the floss in your stash if you can. My kids are going to have to get rid of it if I don’t use it up! lol
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to sit around today being lazy I will thread baste hexies, knit and read - no outside work for me today it will rain the weatherman says by afternoon. What a cute baby in that pumpkin such a cute idea
ReplyDeleteAdorable picture with your grandbaby. Great projects you are working on! I forgot to turn my clocks back until this morning. It was nice when I discovered I wasn't actually up later than I usually am! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you turned your clocks back (Fall back) and not ahead. LOL Looks like you have lots of projects (not unusual), but granddaughter time is going to put a dent in your stitching.

Very cute grand baby photos! Our clocks went back last Sunday, it's horrible the dark evening closing in. I like the look of your latest project.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby photo, this will be cherished forever! We turned our clocks forward here in New Zealand a few weeks ago, Spring now, and Summer is on the way.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a cute punkin in that pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pumpkin photo! By next year, your grandbaby will be sitting on the pumpkin for your photoshoot! Great start to your next project. Gail
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable pumpkin photo! It has been dark at supper time for a few weeks here, but getting dark at 4:30 now really sucks. I love your latest project. That box looks like fun!
