Project Quilting season 14

 Here is my entry for PQ with the theme of "one".  I call it "One Woman's Heart".  It is my first finish of the new year.  

Our hearts are so full of EVERYTHING...One woman carries around a lot of stuff in her one heart.  And it has been shattered and mended over and over again.  

If you look closely you will see the words I embroidered. (Memories, Faith, family, pride, worry, love, hope, gratitude, dreams, and prayer) I could have just kept adding words all night long but want to get a little bit of sleep before I head out to church in the morning so I had to stop.  

It was fun.  

I started this project at 10 am Saturday.  Stopped for 45 minutes to help my husband take down Christmas lights outside.  Then stopped for dinner (which my most wonderful husband made) and about 2 hours of comedy shows with my family.  Then my son called from Hawaii and I talked to him for about 45 minutes.  The rest of the time, I have been working on this.  It is now 1:14 am on Sunday.  

Here's hoping your heart is full of all the most wonderful things in this new year!

Father Christmas has entered the house

 I have been working on this machine embroidery design from SweetPea for about a week now with one or two days off, and using as much time as I could possibly dedicate each day.  He is labor and time intensive but comes out beautifully!

Hope to make many more.  

However, there are many more projects that I hope will join him around here by Christmas so I must give them my attention for awhile.  

My son thought we should go into business together- he would fund me with an additional embroidery machine as long as I thought I could turn him a profit before too long- he is always the entrepreneur.  Not happening anytime soon...
