I love cross stitching holiday items so I started a heart mini for me, this is 36 ct linen and I love taking parts of antique samplers and using them in my work. 

MADE A MESSAGE BOARD FOR STUDIO WITH A REP-ROUSED FRAME, HALF IS CORK BOARD ( SEE THE HEART PIN) AND THE OTHER SIDE WITH WIRE FOR MAGNETS. I HAVE SEEN THEM EVERYWHERE AND PLAN ON MAKEING SOME CUTE CURE MAGNATES. 

we had 2 days of snow and cold, I used it as 2 vacation days, even though I dont work.

FAST AND FURIOUS SCRAPPY STRING BLOCK

My absolute favorite block to make, You know when you dont want to start a big project but you want a big quilt, this is the way to go... I love making these blocks, I use the phone book pages for the pattern.  I  swap with this flicker group, its a no commitment group and the deadline is 3 months away from the start.. I make these blocks to relax and to use up scraps. I have made some I just cant get rid of because of what it reminds me of.  I now have a Full size Quilt in progress without any sashing,binding, just scrappy..6.5 X6.5 .Mini scrappy  string block . For your own keepings you can make any size.
