Stitching Away... Well at least my machines have been anyway

So - I've been working all week on my "coming soon" granddaughter's baby quilt. I now have all but one of the blocks embroidered AND have it sewn together. I have been having so much fun working on it. I love to get to go through all my designs and pick out something special just for her, and going through my fabric stash to pick out colors, etc. The one remaining block is in limbo right now as I am waiting for a final name choice. My daughter and her boyfriend are having a hard time coming to a consensus when it comes to the middle name. They have only changed it three times since first telling me. I am so glad I decided to wait for that one til last and to ask before doing it. I think I may hold off for another couples weeks or so, and start some other projects in the meantime.

I am thinking another stuffed animal from www.embroidery-outlet.com When you get a chance you have to check out her site. Gerda has so... many designs including filled, applique and stuffies patterns. Her work is beautiful and they have all stitched out so wonderfully. I'm also leaning towards finger puppets from www.emblibrary.com My 4 yr old went to bible school a couple weeks back and they had puppets and ever since he has been pretending he does too, so I'm thinking he will really enjoy actually having some real ones.

I also had an order for 6 bath towels that I finished this week. I delivered them today and the customer was so excited about them, it made my day. She had some idea of what the designs looked liked, but had no idea what they would like in person. I'm always happy when my customers are thrilled with the products I give them!

Other than that, not too much going - planning on vacationing a week from now so I've been excited about that. It's been way too long since I've been able to get away from reality so I'm really looking forward to it.

That's all for now, so 'til next time - Take Care!
