Anyways, I am happy that I am getting some things done that I had been putting off because of all that hand-quilting on Sharon's quilt. Here are my Contrary Wife blocks, for a Sarah's Sampler swap that I am participating in. I have to laugh because I chose Contrary Wife -- I bet my ex-husband would think that was me! Dictionary.com says Contrary means: opposite in nature. But I prefer their fifth definition: stubbornly opposed or willful. I don't think being willful is a bad thing! :o)
Here are what the two Dresden Plate centerpieces looked like, that I made earlier this week. I love how all the florals play off each other - makes me hope for Spring! :o)
And here is the machine-embroidery design that I stitched out today. I am so thrilled with this design! It has 25 color changes, and a little more than 66,000 stitches! I have been without an embroidery machine for awhile, and am glad to be back up and running... This might be made into a pillow for a special friend... Too early for Christmas, but I don't think she would mind! :o)
Thanks so much for visiting! It is time to clean up my workspace and figure out what to work on next... :o) Hope you are having a good week!

My goodness Angela, first off I missed the quilt so I will have to go back and look at that. Second, wow, your a whiz. You have gotten a lot done. I guess I am getting slower as I don't seem to be able to accomplish that much. Nice job on all things.
I love your blue & brown blocks, I am also a Contrary wife :)
This is alot of quilting and sewing! WoW, no wonder you don't have time to start your Dear Jane. I love the dresden blocks....I would like a quilt like that! Steph
