Last December...

 I know it's a bit late to write about last December, but I thought it's better than never. So, here it is.....

 I started hand quilting this panel in last spring, and I stopped for awhile. This was the biggest hand quilting I've ever done, so I had no idea what a time consuming it was until I started it. Although I took 6 months break on this project, I finished it by December, and hung it on the wall during the holiday season.

This one is the hoop art I mad for Redwork club holiday swap. I like the saying on it. It's so true, but I probably shouldn't say that out loud, right?! I'll definitely make one for myself someday!

I also tried cross stitching on linen for first time. (The finished size is 3.5" x 3.5".) It wasn't easy to count like Aida fabric, but the result is more beautiful. I should go check the cross stitch store to see if they have some pattern for Valentine's day theme.
