It's A Start...

 When I was at Coffee Club last Saturday, two of the girls had already finished
Block One of the Wooly Critters series. (Talk about real overachievers!) 

I got back home, pulled out my wools (which I shared with you here), and set
about creating my first block. Although the other gals are machine sewing their
pieces, I will be hand stitching all of my blocks. I finished setting it up yesterday
 afternoon and then stitched while I chatted with the girls at Paneras last night.
 I love the colors and the texture of the wool. I can tell this project is going
 to be fun to work on. Block One isn't finished yet, but will be soon.

I'll have to remember to pace myself. Only one block a month...or
maybe two if I get my other projects done as planned. Maybe.
Thank you to everyone who left Birthday messages for Handsome
here or on my Facebook page. He really liked reading your good wishes.
and
Thank you, also, for leaving condolences on my Uncle John's passing.
Our family appreciates your prayers as we grieve his loss. I'm meeting 
more family members because of my post, and I think he would like that.

  2. I love your block Donna, I do a lot of felt work, and love the look much better when it is hand stitched. Where did you get the pattern?

  3. As a new year begins I find I over commit myself (as always) so I hear you on "pacing" to sew your beautiful wool blocks. Happy Hump Day Dear...
