2muchfun: Another UFO Finished
http://eileenmcgee.blogspot.com/2013/02/another-ufo-finished.html
Is what I have when I'm creating. February 19, 2013. Here is another counted cross stitch item I have been working on for a number of years. I moved along with it at a quick pace, then I got to the backstitch portion and came to a screeching halt. The reason for the halt, the backstitch instructions were not laid out very well and when the counted cross stitch aficionados I spoke with couldn't figure it out either I said "I'll just wing it.". The design is titled "Under the Oaks" by Barbara and Cheryl.

2muchfun: Luck and Money
http://eileenmcgee.blogspot.com/2013/01/luck-and-money.html
Is what I have when I'm creating. January 1, 2013. The popular way to prepare the black-eyed peas is to cook a pot of Hoppin' John,. And the greens are usually collard greens or mustard greens. Today I was curious about the history of these two traditions. I found out the practice of eating black-eyed peas dates back to the Civil War. Plentiful as the new year approached, and being green symbolize money. I wish all of you (y'all) a year of luck and money in 2013. 1/3/13, 7:06 PM. View my complete profile.

2muchfun: Bread Tag Wedding Dress
http://eileenmcgee.blogspot.com/2013/04/bread-tag-wedding-dress.html
Is what I have when I'm creating. April 11, 2013. Bread Tag Wedding Dress. Now this is what I call "thinking out side the box" or "bag". Stephanie Watson. Of Australia made her wedding dress out of 10,000 bread tags she collected over 10 years. I can't imagine how many sewing machine needles she went through by the time the dress was completed. Kudos to her though, the dress looks lovely. I love the grooms' hat! Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

2muchfun: Stash and a kick in the rear
http://eileenmcgee.blogspot.com/2013/01/stash-and-kick-in-rear.html
Is what I have when I'm creating. January 3, 2013. Stash and a kick in the rear. Last night, while reading some of the quilting group messages and blogs I subscribe to, I came across a couple of groups I have decided to join. I am hoping to whittle down my stash again and give myself a kick in the rear to finish the UFO's I have. I thought the Block Lotto. I think the Project: UFO 2.0. Group will give me the incentive I need to finish the projects that have been put on the back burner too long.

Sunday, April 6, 2014. FNwF and Two Mini Swaps. I just glanced at my blog and realized I haven't posted since the last FNwF.

I haven't started on the corner pieces yet, but there's only FOUR corners right? I have received two wonderful minis. The first one is from Terry at QUILTY-TF ( click here. 2015 initial...

However, I am leaning towards adding a border after all. I am hoping to get the back for the snails trail quilt pieced this week.I have no idea how I am going to quilt it though. In the meantime I have moved onto another project from the no progress list. The Classic Paint box quilt I started with the Bee Creative Bee. Goal to get quilt top done,.

And the Muddy 3/4 Acre Farm and Dairy. Johnny’s Cajun Cathedral Window. This pattern is now available in my Etsy store. This is a pattern born of necessity. The father of my oldest and dearest friend of 25 years has Stage 4 Cancer. I started this quilt late September, knowing that I needed to hurry. His chemo was starting soon and he needs a QUILT! There is a Cathedral Window quilt in the family, and they all love it, but I knew I didn’t have the time. At Hills Primitive Cupboard. I am totally in love!
