Birthday Gift

I purchased these two hand/kitchen towels and made mini EPP flowers and stitch them on. It was a gift for my grandmother for her birthday. I used some of the same fabric I am putting in the lapghan I am making for her.

Lots of progress.....

I have made quite a bit of progress on the cross stitch gift for my sister, here is my previous photo of what I had done.  

 

One of my Grandmother's is seriously ill, so I am cross stitching a card for her. I do not have a picture of what the pattern is but it is in a book by Joan Elliott. I am working on the border and then once I finish that I will stitch the main part. In the corners of the pattern it says LOVE with a letter in each corner. The main section has a rose, I know another one, but the pattern is really beautiful. In the side borders it has more flowers with leaves and stems.

EPP Project and Pillowcase Complete

A couple of weeks ago I finally completed hand piecing and hand quilting the EPP (English Paper Piecing) project I had been working on. I ended up giving this to one of my Grandmothers who is ill. I put her initials on the table runner. It is now on her nightstand by her bed.

A few years ago I had made these flying geese blocks and then I saw this cardinal fabric, and knowing my grandmother loves birds thought it would be perfect for a pillowcase to brighten her room. My mother sewed the pillow case together.

EPP Piece Complete and other things.....

I have completed my mini table runner that I am making for one of my Grandmother's. I think that I will make the background fabric be blue, but haven't decided for sure yet.  The cat Dexter loves to sleep under the recliner so I had to take a photo of him, right as I took the picture he woke up though. I have never made quiche before so I decided to make one. I had onions, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, cheese and a little bit of italian seasoning in it. It turned out good except for I needed to add more Italian seasoning.

New EPP Project

I am working on a new English Paper Piecing project for one of my Grandmothers. Her birthday is in a few months, and I wasn't sure how long it would take for me to make a table runner for her. I have quite a bit more done, almost two more flowers done, than what is in the picture. I think she will really like the colors. I think I will make this have a total of five flowers.

Any good projects?

Have you purchased or started any good craft projects lately? I recently purchased this one, and plan on starting it later this month. It will be for one of my grandmothers who love's birds. I thought it was pretty cute, and it is a small counted cross stitch project only 6 inches by 6 inches.
