FNSI, GG, and RSC

Tonight is FNSI, and DH is away, so I’ll be stitching like crazy.  I plan to work on my GG cross stitch project, in an attempt to get a month ahead.

I missed posting the September installment because I was on vacation, so here’s September and October.  I’m finishing one each month, but not necessarily in the order they were released.  My hope is to finish the final two by November 15th GG posting, so I can take the month of December off for Christmas projects.  GG is Gifted Gorgeousness, where we work on projects that were gifted to us.  This was my Christmas gift in 2012, for the 2013 BOM.  Jo has a linky each month, and I’m hoping she will continue this in 2016, because I’m thrilled to be getting this finished, and I have already chosen a project for next year. 

I got off to a slow start with my brown scraps for RSC, but here is my monthly Dresden Plate.

I’m working on cutting out two more small projects, so stay tuned.  I’m also starting to prep some projects for Retreat in a couple of weeks.  And I just found out that our LQS is having a sit-n-sew tomorrow night!  I might just have to check it out.

Keep on stitching……Sunny

    The Village is looking good.
    The holiday and wedding photos were lovely too, you seem to have a very fun loving family who enjoy being together.

  26. A sit and sew sounds like a wonderful chance to get out of the house and sew at the same time. Enjoy! Lovely brown block.

  27. I always look forward to seeing what you're working on. Your sit and sew reminds me of quilt shop over in St. Louis that has a sit and sew one Friday evening a month ... I need to check it out!

  28. Ha! Your Dresden plate reminds me of men's ties as I'm looking at it right now! Perhaps because of the brown. Have fun at the sew-in. :- )

  34. I'm really digging (can you tell I was around in the 70's?) all your Dresden plate blocks. Have you decided on the centers yet? Great work on your cross-stitch. It's really pretty.
