4 Seasons Swap

My 4 Seasons Swap is complete!! I had a really great time with this one (other than the broken needles..which ended up being the batting). All it needs is a label and then it is ready to ship. I think it will go out on Monday. Here is a close up of the quilting. This double cross hatch really is beautiful. I think it will be my new favorite for small projects! I really like the look of the quilting. I am glad it is done though! I ended up using this fabric on the back. Now onto my next projects...they are gifts for you! I will be spending my weekend stitching prizes for my 100th post. I told Linda I would have to limit my posts until I get these projects done!! That will be hard for me, as I am too much of a blabber mouth to not post! That means I need to stitch! I taped "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" to watch while I work on my projects. Saturday is the day I usually plant myself in front of 5 episodes of As The World Turns. I have not "cheated", though last night I really wanted to look online at the recap...I decided that would not help me. Just like when I quit smoking, I did it completely and cold turkey. So I plan a day of stitching and movies.

I have a new favorite "TJ story"! My grandson really likes his new puppy Miya! Their black lab Dusty was always too big from the beginning and would knock TJ down. This little thing is just his size! Well, Rachel went outside for a minute and came back in to find TJ playing nicely in his room. When she walked in he looked up at her with a big question mark look on his face...

TJ: Where's the puppy?

Rachel: (a little concerned) I don't know TJ. Where is the puppy?

TJ puts his index finger on his cheek and taps it a few times. "Hmmmmm." Finger flies into the air! "I KNOW!"

TJ takes his Mommy to a cupboard in the hallway and opens the door. There, on the 3rd shelf, is Miya!

TJ: There she is!!! (she was perfectly fine)Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!! Blessings!
