This week has been a bit of a tough week for me. I really haven't accomplished very much in my sewing room. I did finish a block for my Postcard Cuties quilt, but I'm not thrilled with some of the stitching. I think I may have been using the wrong needle. I've got so many different kinds around here now. I love Roxanne's Applique needle and that may have been what I was embroidering with...lol Who knew that there was so much difference in needles? And I won't even get started on different quilting needles. Anyway here's a pic of my finished block and you all let me know what you think about the stitching in the word 'snow'.
Oh and I did start prepping the background of block #3 for this quilt yesterday afternoon, but I won't start stitching until April...I promise...lol
The weather here has just been blah...cold, drab, windy, a little snowy and well blah is the best word I could come up with. I'm hoping that this weekend will be nicer and that next week will be much nicer because it's Spring Break. My oldest daughter Emily is coming home for a few days tomorrow, Kara is going to St. Louis and Allie is going to Chicago (band trip) later in the week. I'm going to ask my Mom to come up one day and I may not work much. Maybe I'll get some spring cleaning and sewing done.
Anyway TGIF and Yeah Marja, Friday the 13th is lucky for you! Oh and thank you to everyone else that entered. I like giving away stuff and I just may do it more often!

Boo hoo for me but yippee for Marja and MJ.
Thanks for celebrating with us Ranette.
Thank you thank you thank you! A big smooch for your husband for picking my number too :) What a great way to end the week. Glad someone else got the book too, more joy to go around!
As for your snowman block, the only thing I can see that might be bugging you is the far bottom right of the letter "N" but I'm guessing you could fiddle the stitch to make it lay flat. But, as with anything, if it's going to bother you in the long term then no matter what anyone says, you should do what will make you happiest. A quilt takes so much time and effort that you have to be happy with it!
I'll work on my block tonight and hopefully share pics over the weekend.
Well I missed this give away, silly me :-D never mind. Congratulations to Marja!
Ranette your block looks fine to me, it's very cute in fact. As always I love your fabrics. However, if YOU are not happy with something, you know what you have to do, dont you :))) (that's from one Leo to another :))
I hope your blah time passes and I hope you enjoy your company. Hugs Elly (btw I've posted on my blog today!!)
