Rolling Along

The time came yesterday to move the old scroll rods!! A victory in and of itself with a large project.
Here is the whole top half before I moved the rods last night:


So I am back over on the left hand side and her is a pic to where I got to today:


This path across is only about three rows and then it is off to the next set of pages.
I hope you all are having a great week. Me I am hoping for a cooling trend. It was quite pleasant today hopefully it will continue.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,

A Stitchy Update

I continue to make progress on my big project. It is getting so wide that it is hard to get it all in sorry about that. I hope to make some speedy progress because there is a lot of blocks of color instead of lots of color change in the section I am working on.

Yesterday some girlfriends and I headed over to a quilt show. We had lots of fun, saw some beautiful pieces, eat some great food and all got hooked on a new craft. Yes we all picked up locker hooking projects. It looks like fun. I did no get going on mine yet but stay tuned.
I hope you all had a lovely week I am awaiting the cooler temps! We actually have some leaves that feel off our tree. I don't think it has anything to do with fall probably the hot weather.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,
Karol

Slow and Steady

Well I am still at it with this big piece:

I gues my blog post are not to exciting when this all I am working on but I am making progress. I am getting to a point where there is some solid stitching of colors. Less color changes I think will make more progress. At least that is what I am telling myself. It looks like the heat and humidity have returned to my neck of the woods! Yuck! But since the first football game was on this evening I keep telling myself that fall will be upon us shortly. Now that is something to look forward to.
I hope that you all are keeping cool and that you are able to get some stitching in.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,

Plugging Along

As you can see I have been plugging along on my latest project:


I know that I have a long way to go but each stitch gets me one stitch closer I keep telling myself. I had hoped to get more done this weekend but. Today I went and did some shopping with my DD, DN and DSM. It was a lot of fun! Boy I wish I had a Trader Joes closer just love that store. It was my first time and I hope to get back!
It looks like we are in for some more hot and sticky weather this week! BLAH!! I was happy when the weather guy said in a month it will be September 1st looking forward to some coolness.
I hope each of you have been able to spend some time with your needle I know it is good for my soul.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,
Karol
