Ingredients in hand ....

My two sons gave me a pretty wrapped gift. On top was this lovely dragonfly - I set it on a tree branch.

Inside the package were all the 'ingredients' to stitch the
Mary Hannah Gipson sampler.

When I saw Ruth Ann Russell's research and graph, I was itching to stitch.

The article and pattern are in the

SAN Q

ME!

thx!

Marjorie,
blogging at
Moonsilk Stitches
gave me this
wonderful ornament!

She understands my
weakness for BUTTONS.

What a treasure, thx so much.

happily hooking

This is a kit from
The Quilt Shop
in Middlebury, IN.

GF Beth (w/o blog)
purchased the kit,
and gave up on it.

I've been moving
right along ...

More progress on the
quilt block pattern, too.

I'm liking these colors!

After awhile I get
a rhythm going +
don't want to put
the project down.

locker hooking

Back in November, GF Mel + I
took a locker hooking class.

This is my project (so far).
I like the pastel colors - maybe I should have chosen
holiday colors, like red, green, fancy gold material.

Maybe next time!

I learned a lot in the class
+ have enjoyed watching this pattern grow.

-------- My youngest son is allowing me to use his digital camera as mine seems to have finally bit the dust. Maybe Santa will toss one down the chimney this month!
