What I'm Working On

I love to spend time working on sewing projects in the evenings. It helps me wind down and relax after a long day of chasing kids. One of my favorite ways to sew is by doing hand embroidery or crewel work, so when I came across this block of the month project using red-work embroidery, I just had to join in. I enjoy quilting too, so this is the perfect combination. My fabric choices were quite limited due to my location and the fact that I left so much behind in Michigan or simply sold it off before moving. I had to go with a pastel floral palette, not something I normally like, so it will be interesting to see how this turns out.
