Whippy Wednesday

Hello friends.

Hope your week is going good for you.

Happy Hump Day.

I only have a few WIP's to show you this time.

Remember this was my sad start

for my next sampler.

I have finally made more progress on this one.

Am starting to enjoy stitching on it.

Believe it or not each one of these motifs takes me

at least one hour each to stitch and they

are only one inch in diameter.

This sampler will be dedicated to all

four of my great grandfathers.

I have one included here now.

Next up.

Patriotic Pinwheel Parade.

This is where I was at when I last showed 

you my progress.

Have gotten a little bit father,

but still need to complete this flag

before going on to the bunnies.

I suspect Lauren will be right in that it will

not be completed by July 4th.

Finally

Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow.

Block number six.

This one took me 12 evenings to finish.

I know Yaya will like this block.

Now remember this block is a two part one.

As you can see only half of the cauldron is complete.

I really enjoyed stitching this one.

At least it screamed Halloween this time.

I did outline the witch's face as I thought 

it got lost with my linen choice. 

Not sure if I should do the same for her hands.

Your thoughts?

Pardon the wrinkles, but I wanted to 

get this photographed in time.

Halfway done now.

Lots of stitching in this piece.

I just hope I can continue completing

a block a month.

Soon I will need to start working on Halloween

for the store, so time will be limited.

I already started July 4th but I do not make

as much for this holiday.

In other news,

I forgot whom asked me awhile back what a shot bag was.

I do apologize for not answering sooner..

It is a bag where you would keep your balls (bullets)

inside for firing a gun back in the day.

Someone also asked me what color our keeping room

mantle was? I forgot and am trying to remember

where I put the swatch. 

Carla did ask me if our river gets high waves

during storms.

 I have seen waves up to 3-5 ft.

which creates whitecaps.

If the wind is out of the South it can be higher.

Not as bad though as the great lakes which can get 

easily over 15 ft. 

Thanks for all the prayers for my SIL.

She is off the ventilator.

Her doctor suspects the anesthesiologist

gave her too much anesthesia and she did not

come out of it.

She has lost her long term memory because of this.

Don't know how long she will remain in the hospital.

Well best get my butt to work.

At least it is almost daylight when I start out now.

Whippy Wednesday Blessings To All!
