Stitching

I have been working on several projects lately but nothing is completed. I'm working on my Block of the Month April quilt blocks and only have a week or so to get them finished before the May videos are up. I'm also trying to get back to my collaging. This past week I saw that Amy Powers was going to do a Happy Go Lucky Stitchalong in June. I really want to do it!!  It is on sale right now for only $10.00 on the Big Picture Classes website. I haven't picked up my embroidery for a long time so my deal with myself is that I can take this class as long as I finish the other stitching projects I started. Well, I have to finish two projects. I'm not counting the long ago abandoned projects like this one my mom found that I started when I was a little girl.
I think it's funny that I signed it when I hadn't done much work on it.

I finished this tulip today but still have a long way to go on my Stitch Sampler from Rebecca Ringquist. She has several pretty samplers you can buy. I want to finish this in the next week or two then I'll only have one embroidery project to do so I can do the stitchalong.
Sometimes you just have to discipline yourself if you want you to get anything done. Ha!
I'm having a hard time getting bright pictures today. The sun here in Pittsburgh needs to eat a Jimmy Dean sandwich. It's supposed to snow tonight.  What??????!!!!!!!

Have a creative week and join me in the stitchalong. It will be fun!!!
