I got sick over Easter (actually fainted in church!) I spent a day in the hospital. Everything is OK now. I was severely dehydrated and fighting a bladder infection. Anyway, I've spent most of the month getting ready for our Band Sampler RR. I still want to get my boy's baby sampler done so I need to get back to it! Here's my Band Sampler so far... </div><br />

My theme is Roses. I chose to stitch Rose Arbour. So all the Ladies have something to do with roses (or flowers). When it comes back, I will have (in addition to Rose Arbour) Rose of Sharon, Damask Roses, Rose Celebration, Garden Beauty, Blossom Harvest, Lady of the Mist and Sabrina stitched in the diamonds. In the triangle borders, I've asked each lady in our group to stitch a rose or bouquet in the triangles on the side or bottom as I have done and to also stitch their initials somewhere in the flower as well. I look forward to seeing the progress on it and especially getting it back in December!Arthenicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12394493903717895834noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089520549932947050.post-66394573686843887762012-01-16T21:42:00.000-08:002012-01-16T21:42:22.450-08:00Final Days (12 -15)So it was a fun 15 days!

I found where to add pages! Yeah me! So here's where I'll be posting my full moon pictures during the WIPocalypse.

Here's what I did in those 20 mins (and then some into Day 12).<br />

This will be my first project with 1 over 1. (The hummingbird will be 1 over 1, the rest of the project is 2 over 2). As you can see, this will be a tiny project. I'm thinking of giving it to my sister for her birthday. I have until April! <br />
Better head off to bed. I have to play keyboard for our Ladies' Bible Study. Don't want to be falling asleep at the keyboard! :)<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching.<br />

P.S. I posted my picture for Day 10 as well.Arthenicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12394493903717895834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089520549932947050.post-4276850467583113952012-01-11T08:43:00.000-08:002012-01-11T08:44:17.097-08:002012 WIPocalypse ListHere is my list for 2012:<br />

<br />
Just for fun, here is my first Mira that I sent out last June. I haven't finished my square yet, but will get it done this year (of course!):<br />

Here are pics of my first three days' projects. I'm really excited to get these done as I found a new quilt shop which happens to be next to the new location of the music studio that I teach at. Fancy that! :) Dear hubby told me I need to park on the other side of the building so I can't see the shop. Yeah right! Like that will stop me when I walk to the front door of the music studio. <br />

This one will be a challenge as the pattern I chose is not a border but a band from a Christmas stocking. I chose it because it has miniature Christmas trees. I will put something in the corners and then have the trees following along the rest of the sides. It should work out after I graph it.<br />

Enjoy the pictures. Back to organizing my projects for the WIPacolypse.

I'm sure I will think of something as it comes together. :)Arthenicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12394493903717895834noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089520549932947050.post-17935016924275405812011-12-27T17:18:00.000-08:002011-12-27T17:18:41.561-08:00MY CrazyJanuary 2012 ListHere's my list (so far):<br />

I'm finally blogging. This is my first post on my own blog. Woo hoo! So I signed up for the CrazyJanuary 2012 Challenge. I had to come up with 15 projects that I haven't started and commit to starting each one of them from Jan 1st thru Jan 15th. Finding 15 projects wasn't hard, nor was finding the floss for them. (I only need like 10 skeins of DMC floss for my projects.)<br />
<br />
I have mostly Christmas projects that I have been wanting to do for a long time. This should be an interesting year as I thought I would be putting most of my Christmas projects away until Nov 2012. Now I should be able to finish them and have them ready to either hang on the tree or hang on the wall. So here's some of the highlights. This is one of the several cross stitch squares on my Christmas Quilt. I had stitched the poinsettia over ten years ago and over the course of several years, I finally found a way to showcase it. I decided to stitch a border this year as it seemed like a lot of wasted space around it. There are three more squares like this one, so those three will be the first of my CrazyJanuary 2012 projects. Here's what I've done so far:<br />
