Happy Easter to all my blogging friends! Here is a little Easter decoration I made for the season.
It is from Trilogy on 32 ct. linen. I left off the alphabet that comes at the bottom of the pattern, turned around the bottom border to be opposite the one at the top and added the ribbon. Happy Easter to All!
I actually did work on my unfinished projects…but slowly. I went away to Colorado in January/February to care for my son (who was in a 12 week recuperation after serious back surgery) and my little 3-1/2 year old granddaughter while his wife was out of town. When I returned it was difficult to get the MOJO back for the PhDs. However…here is my completed Halloween Fairy.
It is seriously difficult to photograph something that has already been framed and sealed under glass! I will remember for next time!
Slow progress being made, but coming along nicely is my Lily of the Valley collage. Here are the before and after photos from last post.

AFTER
Still quite a ways to go.
And last but not least are two projects completed a LONG TIME AGO…but are finally professionally framed. They are cross-stitched replicas of two Indian rugs which I did for my husband to hang on the wall in his den.
There is NO progress to report on my large red and white quilt which I was machine quilting myself….it remains unfinished. No work done on the Lorna Bateman pin cushion either.
We are now on row five of the nine rows of the huge king size red and green Irish Chain quilt. Lots of work to go, but steady progress being made.
I worked on a couple of other small needlework projects which I will show next time. So much for the long grey Chicago winter. I think Spring is finally coming…the daffodials are peeking up and a few crocuses are blooming!
A Blessed and Happy Easter to all….Amities, Averyclaire
