Mary Brown Progress

First up I need to apologize to all the other Mary Brown stitchers. I did not get a post up for December. I had no progress to show! There were several reasons that I will not bore you with, but I do want to share one. A product was recommended to me and it really sounded like it would work and help speed up my applique process. Wash-Away Applique Sheets by C&T Publishing. I found it too difficult to turn under my edges and get them smooth, also not pleasant  to stitch through. I had prepped all my leaves using this product hoping I would get used to it, I didn't and I had to redo all my leaves.

Blocks 1, 2, 10, & 11

I have my next two blocks prepped and hope to have them finished in time for our next link up.

Block 3

Block 12, I know it looks like a glob of fabric , but I do have the design marked.

I finished all nine blocks for Barbara Brackman's Hospital Sketches sew along. I need to decide what I am going to do for the borders and if I will use sashing.  I plan on joining in on her new sew along called Cassandra's Circle, the first block is out, you can read about HERE.

I did finish all this stockings in plenty of time to deliver them before Christmas.

I got all the stockings finished in time.

I can't forget about our moose friends! We saw this one we were out for a drive.

We have been having some cold weather for the last month or more. I think we may of had two or three days that got above zero since December 19, 2019.  We have probably been averaging -20*. After a couple of mild winters it seems we are back to normal.  My husband saw this poem on Facebook and I thought it was appropriate.

Happy Stitching, Rebecca
