Stitching and Shopping from Canadian Needle Nana

We are kind of holding our breaths re the weather. Still no snow. Is it possible we could slip into April without another snowfall. Here is the backyard view this morning; not a flake in sight, and sunshine streaming in.

I'm playing again with the Bramble Blooms Improv project...more to be found here at Quilty Folk. I need to nail down what I am doing with this next border. With that in mind, I began embellishing petals. Fun stitching of an evening.

Weekend machine stitching and the Blue Courthouse Steps blocks are together. Much larger than I thought ...

Chookshed Stitchers Challenge,Hawk Run Hallow Cross Stitching, Favourite Meal from Canadian Needle Nana

Chookshed Stitchers, Tiny 9 Patch Challenge, Blue Courthouse Steps, Ups and Downs from Canadian Needle Nana

We had a rabbit living in the front yard, hiding under the veranda but it has moved on. I think Ned may have caused that because he happened to catch him on the veranda one day and chased him underneath.

Deana pulled #2 for us to work on this month for the Chookshed Stitchers Challenge .
