Noah’s Ark coming along

By Denise Russell

The elephants are ready, now onto the pigs! The day is grey, so even taking the picture using daylight did not help. The embroidery is simple – I can get a block done in one evening, if undisturbed.  The cat has learned to stay away from the floss (or I am the one who was trained to keep it away from her?).

I have a few weeks to finish the baby quilt for my grandson, but other projects keep getting in the way: the wool embroidery wall hanging, Winter in Wonderland embroidery (this one is super long term…), the Hawaiian blocks, the round robin for the quilt guild… Ideally, I would be paid to do all this, in which case I could say this all means ‘job security’. Right now, I am settling for ‘sanity’!

Enjoy the day, and don’t forget to check out today’s participants of the Nancy Drew blog hop (see my previous post):
