Beautiful Shoo Fly, GramE! Or is it a Churn Dash? That's a lot of hand stitching for one day! Isn't it satisfying to do something beautiful the old fashioned way? That's why I love hand embroidery, and hand quilting (although I'm not that great at it!). Also knitting and crochet... Lo Tech. And a connection to the past.
Ok, here are my Christmas blocks du jour. Hope we don't confuse Janice with these. Janice, these are not for the gallery, LOL!
