This and That from The Cozy Quilter

I made steady progress this week on "Love Birds", a counted cross stitch picture I am making for C and M for their wedding which took place late in 2020. My goal this past week was to finish the leaves and start the next large blue flower. Mission accomplished!

Here is a closer up view of the section I worked on this week.

It may take a week or two to finish the blue flower. There are a lot of stitches in it!

A New Project and Some Slow Stitching from The Cozy Quilter

While on my computer this week, I discovered a Sew Along being hosted by Debby Brown using colour blocks--16 patches using 2.5" squares from the scrap bins. Since the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour of the month is pink, I made my first block using my pink scraps. I have never been much of a pink person so had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get enough squares for 2 or three blocks. Here is my first block:

To increase the variety of fabrics in my scrap bins and since I intend to make a baby quilt or ...
