Last week I was able to get my Love Sampler finished. This is one of Kathy Schmitz's stitcheries. I wasn't working on any applique at the time, and it went pretty fast, and then I was just ready to GET IT DONE! I knew my applique BOMS were coming up in a few days. It's even framed and not in a pile of things to finish!
I'll be working on several things for my handwork this weekend. I have my Color It Red project which I am hand-quilting. This is only the third thing I have hand-quilted, and it is not perfect or even near it. So we can just call it "primitive quilting". It is a small enough project I should have it done in a week or two. Can't reveal it just yet. My day for the Color it Red Blog Hop is February 21.
The other thing I will be working on is Cassandra's Circle, Barbara Brackman's new Civil War BOM. I prepped the pieces today, so it will be ready to applique. This one is called Washington's Plume, and it is on a 36" block.

I will also be linking up at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching. Head on over there and check out what they have been doing too. I love these Sundays when both are together!
I think your primitive quilting is excellent! Love your red work valentine embroidery!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I'm calling my quilting big stitch. :) Did you happen to notice my header of the snowmen family. I stitched a few of these blocks a couple of years ago and just unearthed them...they are Kathy's design too. Love her work. This one you have done is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour Love embroidery is wonderful, Karrin! You finished it with perfect timing. I'll look forward to the Color it Red blog hop - I always get so many ideas from those. Enjoy your slow stitching time today!
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery is so pretty.
ReplyDeletePrimitive quilting at its best I say :) The framed red work is wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of what you do Karrin. Primitive quilting sounds like great fun actually! Looking forward to seeing the big reveal!
ReplyDeleteOh, how beautiful your red Love cross stitch is, Karrin. It looks fabulous framed. My quilting is always "primitive" too. I don't suppose my hand quilting will ever be regarded as perfect. I am looking forward to the reveal of your Color it Red pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe love sampler was done in perfect time for the 14th. It’s lovely😍. Looking forward to your next project ,Barbara has some beautiful patterns.
ReplyDeleteI think your a little too hard on yourself. Your hand quilting looks wonderful! The sampler is really cute and just in time for Valentines Day
ReplyDeleteYour sampler is so pretty, and perfectly timed! The hand quilting looks really good in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteLovely redwork sampler! I have Kathy's Garden Sampler in the works.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your hand quilting and appliqué projects!
Your Love Sampler looks terrific!! You really did speed through that; I'm impressed! I'm saving the Cassandra BOM, but not sure I'm ready to tackle it yet. If/when I do, I'll probably do that one in wool! Have a fun week! :)
ReplyDeleteYour Love stitchery is pretty and quite nice for the upcoming Valentine's Day. Did you frame it yourself?
