WIP and new to me 301A

My dear husband found another Singer 301A with the card table (tan instead of black) for me for Christmas. 
I used it to make the Leaves blocks for Natalie Patton.  Natalie is making quilts for those who lost their homes in the fires recently.
It's a free paper pieced pattern that she will send to you via email if you ask her for it.  Her Facebook page is here.  She has several youtube videos to show how she makes these blocks that you can see here. 
I had the pleasure of visiting Gatlinburg for a weekend in the 1970s and the beauty of the sights and sounds are so vivid in my memory that it still takes my breath away.

I have made a little more progress on my snowscape that I showed in my last post.  I chose 18 count fabric so it would be close to the size of a Christmas card but there are a lot of 1/4 stitches which (although not impossible on 18 count) are a little easier on 14 count.

Wishing a wonderful New Year for all.

A Finish and a WIP

I finished this small free chart from the facebook page of Pat Carson--Because YOU Count!

This is a start of a Christmas card that obviously will not be finished in time for Christmas this year.  These are free charts available here at cross-stitching.com. You have to register to download any free patterns but it is free to register.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas.

Joshua Finish and more

It feels like the last chart in this leaflet took as long as the other seven combined.  I still have the other leaflet of New Testament charts but I may not think of that until after Christmas
Thanksgiving at our house was so wonderful and relaxing.  Good food and good people are a great combination.  I can only hope that everyone enjoyed the day as much as I did.

I also wanted to share with you a crocheted yoda that my 10 year old grand daughter has finished.
She has always been a free form crocheter but now that she has learned to read patterns she wants to make all of the star wars characters in the book she has.  Lucy Collin is the designer and I believe she is coming out with a second  book of more star wars characters.
