Home Sick...But Look What I Did!!

It is no fun being home sick when you don't feel good. I just have trouble laying around so I sit and today I stitched almost all of the Butterfly Magic from Giggle Buttons. It is so cute I just have to stitch the circles on the butterfly then I can figure out how to make the little bag. Now the question of the day is how do I get the pencil markings off my fabric since I used a regular pencil to trace it.

I found the cutest butterfly fabric in my stash (was saving it for my butterfly quilt I started several years ago..shhh don't tell it's a UFO). Aren't they pretty. I really love my digital camera, not sure how I lived without it. I think the bag will be really pretty with these fabrics. I have a really pretty marble Moda in light purple I will be using as a contrasting color

Here are the latest of my Nice People Nice Things Quilt

Winter Warmup

Looks like the snow is melting fast. I guess it is time for a winter thaw, works for me, I can see my driveway again. Here I thought I would get a lot of house work done over my mini break from work and I have gotten a little bit done. Maybe I should have a get-together that will spur some excitement to get the house in order. Still working on the quilting area (can't see it yet) but I can see the kitchen table, just one more pile to sort through.

I have been doing a little bit of stitching - 3 more npnt blocks done.

Still not feeling Great

Well I am still not feeling the greatest. I have stitched two of the NPNT quilt. I was going to applique the hearts and decided to use the pigment pen for the tiny writing and stitch the hearts. I think they look pretty cool. So here are my first two blocks. Definitely a lot of work but I think the end result will be pretty spectacular. I am going to intersperse a few of them in a quilt with appliqued hearts so the quilt will not be quite so dark.
