Some Stitching For You!

Wow, I think its been a very long time since I've talked about stitching or shared any stitching with you.  So finally, the stitching post is here!!!

As you know I've been pretty much focusing on two pretty big WIPs, Enchantment of Winter and The Accolade.  I've had the urge for a finish lately since its been quite some time since I've had one.  So last night after all my running around and housework was done, I picked up my quilt blocks and finished my 7th one.

Quilt Block #7

I've now got a small start on an 8th quilt block but I've put it aside for now to stitch up this little motif.  Christin picked up the JCS ornament preview issue for me and while I was flipping through it I noticed this motif as part of a corner design in the magazine.  So I thought why not?  Started it last night and finished up the stitching and finishing today.  I was surprised that I had the exact matching bead in my stash to edge it with!

I'm still in a mood for smalls so I've started another Christmas ornament, this one a freebie I found somewhere online... don't know where it came from anymore.  So I should have more stitching to share with you soon.

Its Saturday, which means its PhotoHunt day, today's theme is "Backwards"

I took this photo last weekend at the Holstein Rodeo, one of the parts of the Rode Show were these trick riders from Florida.  Unfortunately I couldn't capture a clear shot... but you get the point.  She's riding the horse backwards!
