Something New
I’ve signed up for a hand embroidery class! It doesn’t start until October 30th, but it has already filled up! There will be a kit to purchase at the first class.
Since I’m a beginner, I asked if this class would be appropriate for me, a newbie. And I was assured it would be a good class for learning, I think she said 14 different stitches. I’m hoping I can handle it!
This week’s progress: I got a few more Dancing Star blocks underway. And the FMQ squiggles are all completed on Chic Country. On to the next section! I have 2 more designs to quilt on Chic Country. I hope to finish it this month.
Road trip! I had a blast with my friends. We visited Caroline’s Cottage Cottons in Rome City, IN. Caroline is a delightful person. Her shop is adorable. And her shop was one of the 10 top shops featured in the Fall 2018 Better Home & Gardens Quit Sampler Magazine. !!!! Yes, I bought a copy of the magazine and asked Caroline to autograph it! Check her out on Facebook.

From the quilt shop we went to Turkey Lake Tavern in Elmira for lunch. I recommend their fish special. Yum!
How did I do on last week’s To-Do List:
- Continue paper piecing Dancing Stars ✔️
- Continue FMQ Chic Country ✔️
- Road trip with friends to a quilt shop north of us. ✔️
This week’s To-Do List:

That should be it for this coming week. How was your week? Starting anything new?
Linking to To-Do Tuesday and Linky Tuesday.

That looks like such a fun embroidery project! I can’t wait to hear more about how you like it. And that quilt shop looks like I could spend hours and hours and hours there!
