Matilda

Hello friends!  I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend.  We had a glorious day here in NC - warm but not hot, low humidity, breeze blowing...just a wonderful day to be outside.  I have been battling a terrible sinus infection all week and today is the first day I have felt normal in over a week.

Do you have your copy of the JCS Halloween Special yet?  Did you know you can download it from their website?  When I learned I could download it my fingers couldn't click over there fast enough.  I saw this design on Lori's blog and knew it would be the first one I stitched.

I originally started stitching this 2 over 2 but didn't like how large it was going to be as I wanted to add it to my basket with the little fall pillows when the time comes.  So, I regrouped and stitched it 1 over 1.  It is very small.  Now I just have to decide on fabrics to finish it up.  The little quilt block on the other pillows was such a hit, I think I may incorporate another quilt block (or 3 or 4)into this finish.

I have been doing a bit of sewing.  See that button at the top of my blog? ------------>
I am participating in the "Pin It" pincushion blog hop.  My day will be the very 1st day, the 10th of September and I hope you will all come back to see what I made.  :o)

I am off to sit on the porch a little longer this evening and enjoy this weather while we have it.  I hope you have a wonderful week!
