XS and Crochet

I found a pattern for a gingham pumpkin on line and it seemed like it should be with my other pumpkins.  CLICK HERE to get the free pattern for the large pumpkin. 
I have stitched a little more on the first wise man of the nativity project.

Have a fun, crafty week

Crocheted Pumpkins

I found a free pattern on line to make pumpkins and it seemed like something that I needed to do.
Here is a link to the pattern click here
This is a medium and a small pumpkin in the back and the one in the front is the small pattern but I stitched half double crochets for rows 7 through 10.  These are so much fun to make but I need to get back to my nativity cross stitching.
thank you for looking.

Nativity WIP

I am back to cross stitching my O Holy Night Nativity.  This week I stitched the straw below the donkey and started the first of the three wise men.
I am also playing with a crochet pattern I found on the internet for some pumpkins but I don't really have anything to show with that project yet.
Happy Stitch Days to all.

Harvey Help


The pictures of the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey are so very sad but at the same time it is so uplifting to see the outpouring of love and assistance provided to Texas by people from all over the country.
This first quilt top is a free pattern by Judy Laquidara.  CLICK HERE  to go to her instructions.  The pattern is called
Out of the Bag and it is a little over half way down the page that the link takes you to.
The Quilt Haus in New Braunfels, TX is accepting donations to make quilts for Hurricane Harvey survivors.  I am sending a couple of quilt tops for them to finish into quilts and distribute.  They have a Facebook page here.
They "are accepting donations of fabric, quilt tops, orphan blocks, backing fabric, batting, gently used quilts, and even cash donations to supply as many quilts as we can, as quickly as we can, to those displaced and suffering from this disaster."


Stay safe and stitch whenever you can
