Slow stitching this week...

Broom Hilda is finished, and ready to hang out with her Halloween friends!




And a little something was added to my daily stitching calendar each evening, too.  Can you tell that lots of leaves fell from the trees, it was windy, and we also got some rain this week?  On other days I just played with a design or tried a new stitch.  


I also made some good progress on the Gail Pan Autumn embroidery.  There's not too much left to finish up on this one now!


This week there'll be daily calendar stitching each evening, plus there's usually time for an additional project, either embroidery or cross-stitch.  Maybe I'll finish the Autumn embroidery!

The daily stitching is a fun little memory keeper. Love the falling yellow leaves! You are channeling fall in all its glory with your stitching and seeing projects. Gail at the cozy quilter

Aaaw Broom Hilda is a cutie and so cheerful! I just love your floss colors, Diann. She looks quite happy in your fall display. It is so much fun to see your progress on COL. I love how you created the wind square. You are certainly staying busy. Have a blessed day and thank you for stitching Broom HIlda. Warm hugs.

love your Halloween corner it looks great. I don't remember if you said if you get a lot of kids come around to trick or treat - I don't think as many kids do that anymore in my area it is all done at the church parking lots or church parties and club parties now where cars line up and parents let the kids go trunk to trunk - I assume it is much safer than going door to door.

I really like your daily stitching. Yes it is easy to tell what you were trying to convey in each box. Your Gail Pan embroidery is very pretty.

I love your cute Halloween display.. We don't really celebrate Halloween here in New Zealand, maybe some of the kids do.

Broom Hilda is so darling!! Such a cute one!! Your daily stitching is really looking great...I haven't as yet tried to embroider ; just getting slowly back into machine work as my hands still get sore...but a whole lot better--so rest is working thankfully!!
I have no idea what to do with all those empty blocks--maybe just ignore them...and continue on...and perhaps not every day either for now...thanks for sharing your lovely progress, Hugs, Julierose
