Flight of Freedom update

Here's another updated picture of Flight of Freedom. Since my bowling leagues are both done until the end of August, I have free time in the evenings now.

As you can see, I'm getting close to the point where I will need to roll my scroll frames!! Yea! I have been doing all the backstitching as I go so that I won't have to go back and do any more stitching.
Happy Stitching!

Finally Framed!

It has literally taken me months to get motivated enough to frame a piece for my sister.


She did the stitching. This is from a kit which means the fabric is not generously cut. That's why I have been putting off doing the framing. I hate dealing with undersized fabric!!


Anyway, here is a picture of the finished piece.


What got me motivated? My sister's birthday is May 16. I bought the mat & frame and did the assembly so that will be my present to her.

The mat and frame are both from PictureFrames.com


Happy Stitching!

Cool Video

This is a very cool video. If this doesn't make you smile (or possibly cry) then nothing will.


Enjoy!

Today's Weather pic




For those who don't know, I live on the coast of Washington state. It does snow here occasionally but not frequently - until this winter! When we do have snow, it's usually in December. The picture above was taken this morning looking out into my backyard. As I write this, it is still snowing with no sign of stopping!

Flight of Freedom update

Here's a pic of my progress on Flight of Freedom - it is a Dimensions kit.


I've been working on the area shown for the last 3 weeks but I only get to stitch a couple of nights a week. Since I bowl Monday and Tuesday nights, that takes away from my stitching time.
Happy Stitching!

Great Bowling Season

While my average is down a couple of pins from previous years, I am still having a great bowling season!

Last November, I picked up the Big 4 Split!!

This past Tuesday night, I bowled my first 600 series!! I bowled a 214, 189 and 213 to total 616!! The 213 game was also a clean game (no open frames).

Considering that on Monday night I had a 519 series (over my average as well), it's been a good bowling week!
