Back from the finishers

 I send this to Keepsakes in Cincinati, OH to be finished into a flat fold.  It came home yesterday.  I love how it turned out.

Lizie Kate - Dear Santa is fully finished

 I stitched this peace in 2022, and it has languished in the to be finished box ever since.  I decided I wanted to have it finished for this Christmas season.  zi took it another Christmas project out of the box and finished this one.  I couldn't do the other one because I ran out of quilt batting.  

Lizzie Kate - Dear Santa

It's not the best finishing job I have done but it will look OK on the self behind my display of Santas.

These 2 plus several more have been sitting almost finished for the last couple of weeks.  I just needed to sew up the back and then iron on the year tag.  I may try to do one a day, but I will have to stitch the year for each one.   I should get them finished before I get my sewing machine back, so I don't build up more of a backlog.   But before I spend to much time fully finishing these I need to stitch 2 more of "If you can dream it, you can do it" for Mary Wilson's Granddaughters.

That is all for today.

Progress on Monet's Irises

 Yeah  I finished page 3 only 9 more to go.  

Pages 1-3
I finished page 3 on 10/31

My plan for November is to stitch 2 days on PS April, which I started yesterday, and then 3 days on Monet's Irises.  I was doing that in October, but once I finished PS October, I decided to stitch Irises until I finished Page 3.
