Product Review
I'm almost finished embroidering this stamped for embroidery lap quilt top from Jack Dempsey Needle Art Item 940, Pattern #493 titled Footprints. The instructions call for 3 skeins of blue embroidery floss and 3 skeins of brown embroidery floss. I got 4 skeins of each. I used 3 1/2 skeins of the brown and will likely use more than 3 skeins of blue by the time I'm finished. So I wanted you to be aware of that in case you're interested in making one of these yourself.

I have decided on a pretty blue and white plaid to use as my backing when I decide to quilt this after Christmas. You can catch a glimpse of it in the lower left corner of the quilt top in the image below.



Upcoming Projects
I have selected three Christmas candy holder projects from Felt Street to work on for the next couple of weeks. So I will have a product review for these kits in my next newsletter.



 

I wanted to share these sketching projects I just got at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago. This will be a new adventure for me when I get time - and the nerve : ) - to work on them.



Around the House
I wanted to share some of the colors in our backyard before the rain pulls all of the leaves off. I love the way the colors blend so well together. That's it for this newsletter. I hope all of you have a great week! I'll be back soon with more updates. P.S. I'd love to hear how all of you are doing.




Have a nice day!
