Last night I finished up a cross stitch piece that I had started earlier in the year. It's called "It's Berry Time" by Blackbird Designs. I love every single thing that Barb and Alma design including quilt patterns and cross stitch. However, for some reason I had a hard time stitching this one. It wasn't hard. It's in my favorite color. I just didn't seem to enjoy the "journey" like I normally do. I love it now, though, and can't wait to get it framed. (It's sorta crooked, but it's not framed yet.)
I've been stitching a few ornaments in the evenings and working in my sewing studio/pit/cave during the day. :0) It's totally a work in progress, but I WILL get there.
There will be a giveaway soon, so be sure and check back. Thank you so much for visiting! I love it when you stop by. :0)
Hugs and love from Texas,

it's a wonderful feeling to finish up those old UFOs!
Great finishes - makes it very satisfying to complete old projects
Gorgeous work, Carolyn! I'm going to have to come by. I need a mentor as I want to make a quilt, for Jenn, who is graduating in May, out of her scholastic t-shirts. Any ideas? :) See you soon dear friend!
Wow Carolyn, You have been busy. The quilt is beautuful and the BB design is so pretty. What is the color you used for that? Great job GF!
Such beautiful finishes!

So beautiful! Doesn't it feel grand to finish a UFO! :) Great work!
You go girlfriend!
Beautiful quilt and I love that cross stitch. Everything by Blackbird Designs is so wonderful.
Great job on your "It's Berry Time" stitchery. It looks great. And nice finish on your UFO!
Your quilt is so beautiful!! I love the tree pattern. Great Job!
Congratulations! You have inspired me to make that one of my goals for next year (like maybe a resolution?) The quilt is gorgeous. ~Nita
both so beautiful!
Sometimes it takes forever to get those quilts completed...congrats on the completion, it oops great.
Love the BBD, so nicely done.
"sewing studio/pit/cave"! That made me laugh out loud. I know exactly what you mean. My "studio" is in the basement and it could use some decorating, but that always seems to fall at the bottom of my list. Thanks for visiting my shop.
Wow! That Family Tree quilt was a long time coming! Congratulations. It looks fantastic. I also adore cross stitch samplers. Once in a while I get out the box of floss and patterns and do one of those, too. Have a super day!
Now that you've finished your BBD, wanna finish mine? LOL Beautiful as always.
Luv ya,
Louie
Beautiful quilt! I love that block :)
Congrats on the quilt finish! And, the stitching finish! Both are gorgeous.
Merry Christmas!
Good Morning Carolyn!
I've enjoyed several of your blog messages! I am now a new found follower and I'm looking forward to reading your future blogs.
What a beautiful quilt! And how rewarding it is to finish something that has been hanging over your head! I always feel like those UFOs are talking down to me and belittling my lack of attentiveness to them!
The cross stitch is cute, too. I would love to cross stitch again. Maybe once I get my bifocals? LOL
Mostly, though, I want to make quilts for the girls. I think I'm going to try a rag quilt. I'd love to somehow incorporate butterflies. Maybe a big one in the center? Any ideas??
