Susan: CQJP2018 and Holly Cottage Christmas

It's been a while since I posted. I'm taking some college classes, and that takes a lot of my time lately - until mid-June, probably. I do have this to show on the January CQJP2018 block - the first seam. Slow? Behind? Yes. I'm going to visit a friend in Tucson for a week - actually flying out this afternoon. I hope to catch up with the other three seams. The second one is started, but that's just a piece of lace and beads.

Seam 1, CQJP2018: This seam includes TAST 2018 Stitch 1 - the Running Stitch. It's the butterfly paths. Idea totally stolen from Renee.

I'm also embroidering the 8th block of 9 on A Holly Cottage Christmas by Michelle Ridgeway. The booklet is for sale on her sidebar, though it's ordered directly from her, not from a site with a cart. I have just a few letters to go, then putting the block parts together. This probably won't be finished until I come back from Tucson. Did I mention it is gloriously warm there?

I'll see you next time I have something to post.
