a snails pace

It feels like I'm hardly making any progress at all with Rites of Spring. But I really haven't been stitching much this past week. And I've worked from home a couple of days this week and each day I stay at home is three hours less stitching time I have because I'm not stuck on the train. I have no plans for the coming weekend so I'm hoping to get this piece done by Monday or Tuesday. I'm dying to move onto something new or even finish Medallions. I have purchased some absolutely beautiful custom Hand Dyed Fibers from Vikki Clayton and they have all arrived. It's so much fun to work out what I what to do.
The quilt top I made for my bedroom finally came back from the quilter after six months and instead of cross stitching yesterday, I took the time to bind it. I love how it turned out. Here is a close up of the quilting. The quilter did a flower motif and I'm very happy with it. Now I need to finish the pillows and duvet cover.
And so do the pugs!

I always love visiting your blog, whether to see your cross stitch, your quilts or your babies (the little pugs!).

I don't usually leave comments, but I have nominated you for a Brillante Weblog Award!
