Stress Free Sewing in Colorful Colorado

After a week of house cleaning and gardening,

I think we are finally settled into the cabin for the summer. 

Usually, it takes 9 hours to drive to the cabin, 

but a wildfire in Mancos created a backtracking detour.

Nothing like a 12 hour car trip to get some stitching done!

 Finished the last block for Le Jardin. 

My goal is to get into flimsy form next week.

Then Crimson Tweed got it's binding sewn down.

Now, each afternoon, I spend a few hours working on WIPs and UFOs.

My current WIP is Botanical Sketchbook

by Dawn Heese.

I only have the last block to stitch. 

I have this horrible habit of getting a project to the last block

and then it becomes a UFO. 

I brought 4 or 5 of these projects with me to finish this summer.

Of course, I continue to stitch on my Sue Spargo Toned Down Circle Sampler.

Here are a few of the latest ones.

 This one is not her design.

 I stitched it after seeing a similar one on Pinterest.

Wanted to experiment with ribbon embroidery.

 Of course, I loved doing the Octopus.

He looks so cute in my under-the-sea section.

Being at the cabin sure has reduced my stress level.

There is no TV,

so no repetitious news broadcasts full of doom and gloom.

Tomorrow, we will hike my favorite mountain trail!

Cannot wait.

Thanks for stopping by.

Be healthy, be safe and hug your love ones often!!!
