Stop and Smell the Flowers - Blue Ribbon Desgins - All Done

It took me nine (9) years to get "Stop and Smell the Flower" by Blue Ribbon Designs all stitched up.  I am so happy that it is finished.  It was the first pattern I ever bought from BRD so many years ago.  My oldest was in 1st grade when I started working on this piece.   Now I need to find the right frame and hang this one up for good.




I am giving away the original pattern, I worked off a copy.  First person to leave a comment indicating they would like to stitch this one get's it.  I will even send some of the left over border floss.

Enjoy!!

Turtle Trot - March 2015

I continue to work on Blue Ribbon Designs, Stop and Smell the Flowers.  Today I started on the top left and reviewed each block and finished any thing that needed stitched.  I finished the flowers between numbers 8 and 9, S and T, and below E.  Plan to stitch a little more while watching The Voice tonight.




Enjoy!! CJ

Turtle Trot - Feb

Time to show off my Turtle Trot, a SAL hosted by Claudette of  BAP Attack, who just happens to be on a quest to stitch all her stash.  That is just so crazy and so inspiring!!  I love it.

As usual I am a day late, but yesterday was a sad day for our family, but we tried to make it a day of celebration.  My dear MIL passed on 9 Nov and yesterday would have been her 74th birthday.  Hubby and I took the kids (she was the only grandparent) for dinner and ended the evening singing Happy Birthday to Granny with a bit of carrot cake. 

So now on to my piece I have decided to concentrate on one piece, my BRD "Stop and Smell the Flowers" it really needs my attention and I am so close to finishing it.  I worked on some of the incomplete squares and a bit of the border.  Here is where I started.

Here is where I am at today.  I completed the block below "F" and  the block between the numbers 3 and 4. Added another row of border on the right as well.  Plan to stick with this one until it is done, done, done.
