I think I just wanted a few new borders to play with even though many times, I make them up as I stitch. Anyway, these are free for you to use on your crazy quilts! I've been using 10 count waste canvas on my projects which gives me more delicate stitches. 3 strands of embroidery floss looks very nice but any thread works fine.
In other news, I've been thinking about my upcoming role as owner and publisher of Crazy Quilt Gatherings magazine and I've been thinking that it's time for a few new things. A fresh start so to speak.
It's really time to update to a new computer system. I'll need a new one for the larger files that I'll be working with. This one is quite outdated with Win XP but thankfully, it still works. I designed many, many counted cross stitch patterns on this machine but as many of you know, I retired from designing cross stitch a few years back. It was a great experience but Crazy Quilting is truly my passion.
So to set myself up for my new and exciting endeavor, I plan to buy a new system later this Summer. And to go with my new computer, it's time to repaint and redecorate my little 9 X 9 foot room! I want to get a white corner desk instead of the one I have now that takes up an entire wall. I'm thinking if I plan and organize right, I might be able to make myself a little corner for a comfy chair where I can sit with some tea and stitch. Usually I stitch in the living room and that's fine but on occasion, (every Sunday) my husband likes to watch Nascar and football. Now Nascar is okay with me. The only thing I don't like about it is the noise. But football.....I hate it! What an obnoxious game! And I'm not one of those "anti-sports" women. I personally love Baseball! (Counting the days till the Cubs opening game). But honestly, I like peace and quiet. In fact, I don't even need the sound on to know what's going on with a baseball game. Why do men need so much noise?
Anyway, I'm thinking it would be nice for me to have a little stitching corner in here. And now I will ask you all for your guesses. What color do ya'll think I plan to paint my room? Come on, I know someone out there already knows! This is an easy one! LOL!!!!
Okay, before I ramble on any longer, I'm going to share a couple of new Easter Door Hangers that mom made:
Okay, I'm off to stitch! Enjoy those patterns everyone!
