I have ordered a lot of things that were on sale but haven't gotten yet, but I also proud of what I picked up on sale at Hobby Lobby. I can turn these three things into gifts.
The first is this little cross stitch kit. It was originally marked as $13.99 but I got it on sale for $3.01. I can do it as a present for my friend Janine who is taking classes on decorating cupcakes and such.
Next is this Debbie Mumm Mini Banner. It was originally $12.99 but I got it for $2.80. It comes with the little hanger that is shown in the picture also and the floss is already separated so that is nice.
The third great sale I got was for a stamped embroidery wall/lap quilt.
It is the shortened version of the Serenity Prayer and once finished it should be 36" x 36". It was originally marked $12.99 but I got it for $2.80. It only uses the stem stitch and takes 3 skeins of Dark Delft Blue and 2 of Dark Straw so that isn't bad.
Now....on to the quilting part. Remember when I showed you my little snowman and then showed you my mistake?
I was calling the mistake the snowman in a blizzard. I set it aside and then figured, what the heck, let me try to take off the interfacing. It WORKED!
So I was able to mostly finish it. Tomorrow I am going to try and put on the binding.
This was the first time that I did raw edge applique and while not perfect it is good enough and I might try it again some time.
It's getting late. I just got home from gaming night with friends and I want to unwind a bit. Today I was working on white cross stitches on black aida cloth so my eyes can use the break.
I hope everybody has a great day.
