And so the month ends....

In my time zone, there are almost two hours left in March, and I've finished one more project.  Here's my Christmas Through the Year gift.

I was inspired by Quilt Hollow, who found her tutorial at the Moda Bake Shop.  I've always admired Cathedral windows, and now I know just how simple they are to make!  I'll be making more when I'm not so rushed.  Try one if you haven't already!

Sadly, my arthritis is acting up, and I tried to quilt tonight, but I just couldn't do it.  Sew, there's no Sew It's Finished for this month.  But tomorrow is a new month, and I can start on all new projects.  I've already kitted up my ornament for the month and chosen a pattern for my BSA block.  I'm pretty well adjusted to being back to work now, so I should be more productive in April.

One last little thing to share.  I work for a very large global company.  Yesterday at lunchtime, I was sitting in my car playing Words With Friends with my friend Kate in Australia.  So it seemed very ironic to hear a 'clip clop' sound, and see this buggy go by. 
A tale of two centuries?


Stitch on, my friends.........Sunny

  4. LOVE that pincushion - I've saved the pdf of that project and I'm hoping to try it soon. Of course, I say that about all of them, lol. Cute bear too!

    I'm sorry to hear your arthritis is acting up, spring and autumn usually seem worse for some reason - I hope you're feeling better soon, hon.

  15. Hope your arthritis is a bit less painful now. Does the warmer weather help it a bit? Love the horse and cart, if the petrol goes up much more we will have to get one of those!
    Those Cathedral wheel always look pretty complicated to me, yours looks sweet.

  18. I'm sorry that you've been "plagued" by arthritis... NO FUN!! Hope you are better =)

    That's really a fun thing to do...to make cathedral pincushions!
    I'm gonna have to try some of those! Thanks for the inspiration.

    I visited the Amish...out in the country of Pennsylvania. They are really very special people. There is quite a calm, loving, patient spirit about them. Their children are soooo well behaved too.
