I took some time away from other projects this week to make a mini heart quilt for a friend. You can read a little more about its story in my Saturday post. Hand quilting this little project has been my slow stitching for the last few evenings. It's about ready for the binding now.
I've also continued to work on the Ole Crow Salt Box design from Melisa at PinkernPunkin Quilting. I'll go back to this as soon as I finish the little heart quilt.
I decided to change the house color from Melisa's called for gold to blue, mostly because I have a lot of blue floss! But I do think the blue will make a pretty house!

ReplyDeleteA beautiful heart filled with love and care for your 'forever' friend, Diann. A lovely gift for her to cherish and help her through the difficult days ahead. As for the colour of the house, I much prefer to live in a little blue house. =)
ReplyDeleteYour heart quilt is looking beautiful , Diann. And I am so excited to see your progress on the saltbox. Aaah a blue house would be delightful. I can not wait to see it. I know it will be just beautiful. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYour heart looks wonderful. I like the idea of changing the house color based on the floss colors you have. I don't do much counted cross stitch but every once in a while I use some of it.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute saltboxes. I love seeing them coming along. One of these days, I'll make some.
ReplyDeleteI think the blue is a nice color for the house. You had two nice projects for Slow Sunday Stitching.
ReplyDeleteThat heart is so sweet!!!
