Violets for Q4OAC

Violets
Alita Designs
14ct Aida DMC Floss

This is a freebie from Alita Designs that I found on Pinterest.  Unfortunately, I did not pay attention to the pattern requirements and it is too big for the quilt.  I know Jeneen will find another quilt for it. 
Completed squares always find a home.  If you want to find out more about stitching for Quilts for Older Children and Adults you can find them on Facebook or Yahoo Groups.
 
Enjoy!!

A Lizzy Kate Finish!!

I have finally finished stitching a Lizzie Kate pattern that I swapped with Justine. I started this project in February 2015 as part of a Crazy January Challenge that had participants stitching a a new project every day from 1 January to 28 February in honor of So Cal Debbie.  Debbie was a wonderful cross stitcher who passed away much too early.  She loved to share her hobby with her stitching friends and she was always one to leave a comment and engage in a bit of conversation.  It was a small thing to do, but so nice and memorable.  The kind of interaction you need in this crazy world.  I think this sums up what we all do for each other by supporting our stitching habits and just listening when we need some encouragement.  I have made many friends here and I cherish each of you.
