This took me all day!!

Today was a scheduled Casey's Sewing Circle but when I got up this morning, I saw the snow - it was still coming down - and I made a decision to stay right at home and do my thing!! Good thing too, as it snowed off and on all day!! I found this design at Embroidery Library and I knew it would be perfect to put on my binder cover. Then I decided to make the my front binder cover sort of off kilter, like me from time to time!! LOL

This is my finished cover - I will admit that I did not follow the pattern that was supplied. I made my own up as I went along - no wonder it took me all day!!

Well, in between I made a nice soup, fixed a meatloaf ready to cook tomorrow and made up some hamburger patties for supper tonight. When my honey buys hamburger meat, he always buys a BIG package!!

I will note here that I did not post a stash report this week - to tell you the truth, I'm not much into it! I can't keep track of what I buy much less what I use - so that didn't last long!! I placed another order to Connecting Threads so that will certainly add to my stash - and I'm going to The Fabric Garden in Madison tomorrow to meet my friend Lois from Houlton - you know I won't leave there empty handed!!

Absolutely wonderful, Barb! Very colorful, cool design, and I love the off-kilter. I'm disappointed that you've abandoned stash reporting, but you can still share with us what you bought!

looks really amazing! I know the embroidery's take a whole day sometimes,, you are lucky the thread did decide to brake near the end!

Happy sewing!
