I am working on an embroidered Christmas quilt, 48x48 and for bad or good, I don't like to stop what I start, so I have decided to work on this quilt all summer while it is nice enough to sit outside and listen to a good book, or hear the birds or visit with the neighbors. It is the same design all four sides and the border which says "Merry Christmas" two times on each side is done in three shades of red - oh, yah, it is all cross stitch!!!!. It is a kit I got from a friend of mine (she hates me) that included everything except the back and the binding. It has little printed dots all over it to follow with the needle when I hand quilt it! It is called Holiday Treasures and there are 8 Santas, 8 angels, 12 ornaments, holly and pine cones, ribbons, berries, 8 candy canes. I have been working on it for two years now - You can Google it. It is Bucilla Holiday Treasures - 85312. I take it to the drs. office when I take Mom to the dr. If my husband has to have a procedure done or something, I take it along, when we go for an overnight to the casino, it goes with me. It is my closest companion. I keep everything in a little black bag with a handle so it is quite conveniently packed to pick up and go! That is my project for the summer. Now, aren't you glad you asked???????? Have a great day!
