Another XS Finish

I just finished the backstitching on this one. If you click the picture it will take you to the Ellen Maurer-Stroh cross stitch board. Once you register you will have access to her free charts - this one is called Summer Bouquet. This is going to be one of the blocks in a flower quilt that is being assembled for a group of stitchers so I will need to get it in the mail now.

I Won a Quilting Prize ♥

I am so excited! Look at what the mailman brought me today.
I won a drawing on "The Quilting Queen" blog.  Click the link to visit her blog - her quilting is a major inspiration to me.  There are so many quilts that I want to make and the Dresden Plate has been on my to do list for a very long time.
Thank you so much for the drawing, Quilting Queen - I can hardly wait to try these new (to me) templates.

This was a free chart but now I think you must sign up for the newsletter to receive the chart via email  CLICK HERE )
I ran out of some of the floss so while I puzzled over how to get more without a trip to Phoenix very little stitching was done. I finally just ordered a bunch of floss from 123 Stitch! and was able to continue working on this wip.
