I am almost finished with a nine patch quilt block, although a cross stitched one... I think quilt blocks look great in cross stitch especially with variegated fibers. I've seen some neat designs featuring quilt blocks. There is a designer on Etsy who has quilt block type patterns with a black cat and I love those. I used some of my favorite colors from The Gentle Art in this one, I liked the green and purple combination. I am excited about my progress with my letter C from Nora. I have one arm left on the little fairy (lots of little petite stitches so I have to be in the mood with good lighting to work on her) but otherwise the design stitches up fairly quickly. This is the first fairy I've ever done and I'm already thinking of more I'd like to do.
I like to stitch small things and I've been stitching a lot of bookmarks, I really love to read too, so that is something I will use. I also like useful things. This is my newest collection featuring some different style flowers. I finished them in a shabby style with raw edges together and coordinating fabrics and ribbons. Fun and quick projects. 
My newest hand embroidery design featuring a french kitty. He's hard to see at this point as I've been working on the Eiffel tower and the flowers. Once I get a few flowers in there it makes it even more fun to work on. 
I love to eat outdoors. I made a notecard from this is a little scene I painted in watercolor from an outdoor cafe I visited in Oregon once. Great for summer. Summer seems to finally be here where I am with warm sun, kids playing outside and boats on the water. Looking forward to taking my kayak to the lake.
