Some more sewing, embroidering that is in progress

I have not been idle at all this summer! In between working, yes, I have had to go in to work a few times this summer; I have been getting some wonderful times to piece or embroider on items that I have been wanting to accomplish or like the previous post try a new pattern that fits the fabric!

The first piece to show you is the sunflower that I have started, put down and come back to. This is completed in the embroidery hoop and is a combination of applique and embroidery. I still have a lot to go, but this is one block to show for now:

Next, is a tablerunner that I have wanted to do for quite some time--it is fish and I really do love the fabric from my stash that I used in this table runner--next get it sandwiched and quilted! I do quilt the smaller ones!

On another note, I want to share a great blog with you, and she is having a giveaway for long arm quilting also! Her name is Joanne and she is from New Hampshire--her work is wonderful, so stop by and see her work and take a look at the giveaway too! Here is the link: Splitting Stitches

Here's to many hours of sewing and quilting! Love being back in the blogging world--there is just so much going on here, to see and learn!
Until later, quilt and sew every spare minute!
