Yesterday I gathered the floss for a new square for WOCS and the floss for a square for Love Quilts. I will try to do several days worth of stitching on one and then switch to the other. The Love Quilts square is not due until mid-October, so I should have plenty of time to finish both.
Our group has signed up for a quilt to be donated to a woman at a nursing home made up of beautiful squares designed by Ellen Maurer-Stroh, which are the Flower of the Month freebies. Her website is http://www.maurer-stroh.com/; there are lots of great freebie patterns.
The ladies of our group have chosen the squares they wish to stitch and one member, Vicki, has already stitched hers and posted a picture - a colorful square of Violets.
I have chosen the Larkspur chart, which is various shades of blue. I started this morning while sitting on the back porch again, but had only a little while to stitch before we left for our exercise of playing senior volleyball. I stitched a little bit before dinner (husband cooked tonight - yeah!) and will do some more stitching while "watching" television tonight.
I love to cross stitch for charity. My main focus since I retired in 2006 has been stitching and sewing for World of Charity Stitching and Love Quilts USA.
