Happy Thanksgiving 2020

This Thanksgiving let's remember what we have to be thankful for and let go of the negative.
I finished the last squash from Sue Spargo's sew along. This was a lot of fun. I will wait and see hew suggestions for a border before I sew the blocks together.
The primitive turkey wall hang is a pattern by Cheri Paine (RIP), from years back called Ever Thankful. I just made mine this year.
Happy Thanksgiving,  Zoomgiving, or however you celebrate in 2020.

Keeping up with projects

 

Fall is not in the air around here. It is very warm and humid for this time of the year. 
I am keeping up with my fall projects and complete ignoring the other ones.
The wool sampler is form Sue Spargo Squash Squad. We are actually staring pumpkin 9. I am so enjoying getting back to wool embroidery, even if I can't use any lanolin products due to wool allergy.
The cross stitch are 2 projects that I have kitted since early 2000's. I finally finished them, and found out that the sticky boards to mount them are hard to find in local stores.
Keep calm and take care of yourselves.

The last border was a hard decision to make. But I like it.
