Sneak peek for Barbara
I don't normally post my unfinished projects, but since Barbara asked nicely, here are the Love Quilts squares in progress. Sorry about the reflection on the bear chart, I colored it in, but you can see that I finished most of that area anyway. I like to do some backstitching as I go because it's a pain to do it all at once.
The train engine only has backstitching for detail. I have until the end of January for the train and the end of February for the bear.
The bear is from a UK magazine and the train is a Puckerbush design from the 80s!
They are both in q-snaps. I am using that hot pink post-it as a guide and winging following the directions with the engine.

Thanks Barbara! You made my day. : )
I have gotten really picky about what I do for the kids over the years. I really go through my designs to find something unusual or cute. The train is the Chattanooga choo choo. So I plan on adding a verse from the same titled song. I want to see the child smiling in my head when they read that.

Beautiful, beautiful work, Dianne. That train caught my eye--it looks very detailed and difficult to do! They must take HOURS and HOURS to finish.

Thanks Zoey!
Yes hours and hours. But I learned to stitch while I watch tv-thank goodness for bifocals.
I like the diversion of the crocheting too. That works up faster, well if you can follow the direction that is. I just bought more yarn tonight. I can't believe all the color yarns that are available now.
