Catching Up With IHSW and TUSAL

Here is what I worked on for International Hermit and Stitch Weekend. I had Monday off as well so I included that into my weekend.

This is Robin Hood by Little House Needleworks. I worked on the section under the words "Sheriff of Nottingham". It's not much but I'm pleased with it considering how busy my weekend was. My plan is to keep working on this in between SAL projects until it's done. It shouldn't take too long to finish.



And here is my ort jar for the TUSAL. As you can see, my stitching may be competing with gardening very soon. ;) I can't wait to get our summer garden planted.

What I've Been Doing

Ok, well I had signed up to do the IHSW or International Hermitr & Stitch Weekend this past weekend. I didn't cross stitch but I did stitch together a quilt top for my nephew. Does that count? I don't know.

Anyway, this is the quilt I'm making. I bought the kit because these fabrics are just so cute! Here's the link to a free download of Beetle Boy.


So here's mine. I still have to stitch the beetle's legs. Then I have to layer, quilt, and bind it. I decided I wanted to do a red binding since I have to go buy fabric for the backing anyway. The kit has you use the same fabric as the outer border and I tend to like the binding to stand out a little.
