Since Scott's been dealing with the chemo, I haven't been sleeping really well. I've always had one eye open for the kitties but now I have the other eye, ear really, open for Scott. I've been waking up at 2:30 or so, can't go back to sleep so I just get up and stitch.
I finished Block #2 of my McHenry Illinois Crazy Quilt, The Riverside House:
I use a combination of my waste canvas technique, Sharon B's templates and then a few motifs from this old Ann Orr book by Dover:
The little cross stitch cat and the butterfly are from this book:
This little vine was worked with Sharon B's templates:
And finally, my little spider:
I used vintage Mother Of Pearl buttons to make the spider.
When I finish up on the computer, I'll start piecing Block #3.
More work and time
