Surrounded by Floss

 I'm surrounded by all my DMC floss lol, actually I'm resorting it because I can't find the right numbers in my boxes anymore and I need to see what I have and don't have since I'm Cross Stitching again now that I can see with my new glasses. I started working on one of my old WIPs America Land that I Love by Jean Farish, it's a large piece but each state is different so it is like doing 52+  new designs. I'm having a lot of fun working on it.
I have this one almost done now, but I'm missing 1 color and that is how the floss sorting started :-)
Also sewing some but showed that in the other post Design Wall Monday.
Hope everyone has a Blessed Day!

Chilly Monday....

 Been busy this weekend and today with sewing and doing projects. The Valentine Heart's above are made from a Bunny Hill free pattern. They only took me an hour to make all 4 today. They were really fun to make. I made the top 2 for a swap and the bottom 2 are for me. They have different fabrics on the bottom of them. I'm planing on putting mine in a small basket for next months decorations in my sewing room.
I've also been doing some Cross Stitch, aren't these little dragons so cute? They were a free pattern in 2007 from Dragon Dreams on Jennifer's blog. I started making them for the kids back in 07 then my eyes went and I couldn't see the holes anymore. Now that I have new glasses and can see I finished them Sunday. I'm going to make them into puffy key-chains. Not sure if the kids will want them not that they are grow but if not I will keep them. :-) Now I'm working on a X-stitch UFO from Jean Farish called "America Land that we Love" I'm working on the square for Arkansas today.
The above wall hanging was started at my quilt Guild Memory Markers about 3 years ago I think. The pattern is made by one of the guild members Nancy Mahoney  called "Dimensional Hollyhocks" it is supposed to have 3 of the big purple flowers on it in different colors but I wanted something different so yesterday I found the hollyhocks after cleaning half my sewing room looking for them LOL. Then I went though my books and found the tulip & butterfly in the book " Big book of 20 Appliqued Candle Mats" by HoWB #141221 designer is Marian Shenk. The roses are just cut out fabric. I'm thinking of putting the sun or a bird in the other top corner just not sure yet. I'm also sewing on another UFO the 2012 QTM Spring Quilt I'm on clue 6 and hope to get it be a top soon.

Wow, I wrote a lot for me but this year I plan on getting a lot done as in UFO's and WIP's so hopefully I will be posting more too.
Have a Blessed Day!

New Years Day Mystery Quilt

 I'm very happy with my New Year's Day mystery quilt. I finished the top today. It's alittle wonky because I sewed some of it backwards, but it's for me so I like it. I also sewed the binding on a spring mugrug I made last year so that is done now. (below)
Then I put the backing on the Valentines Wall Hanging I made earlier, I just pillowcased it with a fancy stitch in dark red thread. Now I'm working on the Christmas mystery from Quilt bug, it's a table topper & a UFO.
Plus I have to cut out the February swap for my group this month.
I also joined the Quilting Gallery MugRug swap and got the patterns so now to go stash hunting for fabric to make them.
Then I have to crochet February's  granny squares.
Hope you all are having a wonderful day.

NYD Mystery Quilt and some stuff I made

 This top picture is a wall hanging kit I got from a secret sister swap a couple of years ago and finally made I think it turned out great.
 These are some of the blocks I'm working on for the NYD mystery quilt that Quiltbug.com had posted. I'm almost ready to put the top together.
The underneath picture is what I made for a January craft swap in my new group FB group Crafts Delight.
 This is what I got from one of the members, love the snowman.
 I also just signed  up for the Mug Rug swap at Quilting Gallery .com the picture on my sidebar will take you to the page of the swap if you would also like to join it.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
