On Saturday when I went to stitch with Chrisanne, she passed onto me the next Instant Gratification Round Robin on the Needle and Thread BB. I had selected what I was going to stitch last night and had time to start it this evening. Jodi's theme is quilts and gardens and we each have two bands to stitch. Both of the patterns I've picked are from the Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. I've got a good start on my first band.I also did some finishing tonight! I've been reading a lot of blogs over the last few days and I've just been so inspired to do some finishing. Some of you bloggers do amazing work! I think blogs have been a fantastic motivator and inspiration over the years. A number of weeks ago you may recall I bought a few blue fat quarters. I had bought them with the intention of turning my blue Hedgehog Quaker into a pillow... I had an idea for something slightly different. Finally I did it, and I'm very happy with how it turned out!
I think I'm going to go through my finished-unfinished project bag and find something to try out a flat fold... I haven't made one of those yet!
Tomorrow night I won't get any stitching in... I'm meeting up with Christin, Chrisanne and her daughter Lindsay. We're taking Lindsay to her first concert (shhh... its a surprise). We're going to see Nickleback, Puddle of Mud, State of Shock and Daughtry. Should be a fun night as long as the rain holds off... its an outdoor concert.

Nice work on the RR Dani. And I know a house in Arizona that is all done in blue and a little blue hedgehog pillow would fit in so nicely LOL LOL LOL. Great job. Look forward to your next finish.
Awesome pillow!! I love the batik fabric! Your RR is off to a good start. I wish I had more time so I could participate in one. Some day...

The RR piece is really pretty. I like all the blocks people have picked and I'm sure the person it is being stitched for will love it.
Your Hedgehog pillow turned out great. The blue fabric you used is really pretty and goes well with the variegated threads.

I love the way you finished the hedge hog. The fabbie you used fits perfectly with the overdyed floss you used.
