Joy of my Heart - Lori Birmingham I finished up Joy of My Heart last evening. I'm planning on using it for the pinkeep lesson being posted this coming weekend on Focus on Finishing. I thinks it's perfect for it. I love finishing things that have been laying around for months and months. I purchased this piece from Hobby Lobby over a year ago when they first started to sell off their cross stitch section. I think I picked it up for less than $5.00. I also love a good deal. :-)
The weekend was mostly about having company on Saturday night. My friend Peggy came over with her husband and six pugs! Oh, what a good time we had. My two slept all day yesterday. :-)
This morning on the train I started stitching Summer Arbor from the Drawn Thread. This will complete the four seasons for me. This one has been in my stash also for over a year. I'll be finished by the end of the week. Not sure what I'll work on next but I have a feeling it will also be one that has been laying around for a while. I still have nine fully kitted projects ready to go. The plan is to do a couple more before I move onto something really new. Of course the exception will be the new Loose Feathers from BBD. Their fall pieces are always particularly pretty.
Kathy posted a comment about what a quick stitcher I am. I really don't think I'm really much quicker than the average stitcher. What I do have is time. I have a 90 minute train ride to work twice a day. So before I do any stitching at all in the evening or on the weekends, I have a solid 15 hours in a week. And I do usually stitch every evening a couple of hours while I watch tv. And that adds up to almost 30 hours a week. That's a ton of time. :-)

I love your finish and your start, nice job ;)
Love the finish, I'll be with you in spirit this week for the pinkeep class. I'm a bit jealous of your train commute. I have an hour each way, if not more, but its in a car. :(
Lovely finish, very pretty! I was wondering how you got so much stitching done
Great finish and nice start. I am glad that the train ride allows you to stitch. Sometimes lighting and other envirnomental things make it difficult to stitch during commutes. Keep up the good work.
beautiful finish! I love that piece. 8 pugs, one roof?? how FUN!
Hi Margie, I see you've had two lovely finishes since I stopped by last week, they are both great. Look forward to seeing Joy of My heart turned into a pinkeep. Happy stitching this week :)
What a great finish and super start!!!
Congrats on your finish. I have that LB in my stash-to-do. Are you going to make it into a flatfold?
