Esther's WIP

WIP:
I'm very excited to show what I have been working on.  I know it's been a couple of weeks since I've posted anything, but I've been very busy.  I was painting my new sewing room and getting it set up. It's not finish but it will do for now... 



I have several project in the works right now.  I'm working on a quilt for my bed I was inspired by Esther  RED fabric.. I love red!  I found this the Lone Star pattern in The American Patchwork magazine, October 2008 edition (I never throw away my quilt magazines) so I've decided to make this quilt for my bed.  It's coming along quite nicely.
See:








 Esther asked me on my last posting for a better look at my afghan.  Sorry, but my camera is pretty old and doesn't take the best pictures. but I gave it a try and I'm hoping these pictures are better the first ones I took.








here is a close up picture of the afghan ( this is the best I can do)
I've been throwing little hints to my wonderful husband, since my birthday is this month :>)



I'm also working on Esther Peaceful Pathways quilt.  I wanted to start with the Embroidery Notes I figured that was going to take me the longest since I'm doing the embroidery by hand. I also decided to do my own twist on the NOTES I decided to embellish the outline frame with some glass beads. So, far only the LOVE notes have the beading around.  I'm truly happy with the way they are turning out.  I have finish embroidery 8 of the 12 notes.  Not to bad!




 Until next week hopefully I will be able to post more pictures and give you better pictures LOL!!!!!
