Baby quilt, cross stitch and snow!

I kept busy this weekend. The striped courthouse steps baby quilt is now all quilted and the binding is sewn on. I will be doing the hand stitching later this week. Another finish soon!

At the last minute I decided I needed to do a little cross stitch for a card. Here is where I was at 5:13 Saturday afternoon. I got a late start on this because I had a bloodwork appointment that I didn't get in until a half hour later than the appointment, then I stopped at Michaels for floss, Hobby Lobby for the floss Michael's didn't have, Giant Eagle then Marc's. That burned up a lot of time!

Then at 8:42 pm Saturday.

By 2:00 pm Sunday it was done.

Not thinking, I had picked this Pirate + Robin hand dyed floss. I only had one skein, so by the time I was halfway done with the stitching I was wondering if I would have enough. I did have enough! I used two strands which then equals to 21 yards of stitching! I used another yard - of the green. This floss comes in 10 yard skeins and is nice to work with. It has a soft shine to it. The green I used was a Cosmos thread.

I need to plan better! LOL!!! We got our first snow! It started late last evening and it still lightly coming down.
