Latest Finishes



Here are 2 pieces that I have finished this past week. The first one is for a special quilt for an 8 year old girl, Grace, who is coping with her younger brother's illness. The brother, who is 3, was born with Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome, and is facing 2 major surgeries this spring. He received a Love Quilt back in December, and Grace made the comment to the lady delivering thw quilt, that "I don't get a quilt because I'm not sick". So the CSA (Cross Stitch Addicts) group that I'm a member of has decided to make a quilt for Grace. She doesn't qualify for a Love Quilt because she's not sick, but we feel she will benefit by receiving a quilt. The family lives on a farm in NC, so we've decided on patterns of realistic farm animals. Mamma duck and the ducklings is my contribution.


The second picture is a second sampler that I have stitched for Habitat for Humanity. I will add the family's name to it when JoAnne receives them for the next dedication.


No, these are not items on my challenge list. Just a couple of projects I finished recently.

  1. Thoughtful of the group to stitch a special quilt for Grace, too. I'm sure she will be thrilled.
