from Crab-Apple Hill are FINISHED! Yahoo! It has
probably been almost 2 1/2 years as I found a blog entry
for January, 2012, in which I mentioned I had just finished
my third stitchery.

These have been so time-consuming and so detailed that
I just couldn't make myself sit and stitch for long
periods of time. Then I would tire of them and work
on something else. But, decided they had to be done
this year or else!
My friend, JoAnn, has hers done and we have purchased
fabric for our center blocks and will start piecing those
soon. Hopefully, I can get it quilted and the binding on
so I can hang it and enjoy it for fall. Am thinking it
will go up about the middle of September so we can
enjoy it.
Now to finish hand-quilting my patriotic table runner.
Hopefully, can finish it by the first of next week so I
can put it out for the 4th of July.
FYI: We all still have our jobs at Bowman's, the
grocery store where I work. I mentioned sometime
ago that it was being sold and we were all on
pins and needles wondering if we would have jobs
or not. Well, the sale fell through a couple of weeks
ago and so things will continue on as before. Such
a difference in the feeling in the store and with the
employees. It is much more relaxed, everyone is
happy, including the customers. Don't know if
someone else will make an offer down the road,
but for now we are back in business as usual!
I have some things that I hand stitched and still need putting together
