A busy week.

We got a nice long walk in with mild weather and some sunshine. It was just great to get outside and walk for an hour and a bit. We celebrated a family birthday and our wedding anniversary as well.
The Aurifil floss has been tested and it embroider beautifully, decided to test it first with French knots. This is a great test to see if the floss is a good contender for any projects, no thread snagging catching on any of the twists or turns. Also tried it doing a Bullion stitch, it passed the thread test with flying colours.
Love Entwinded got some extra dimension with details to this flower.
Hubby was travelling for work and he said is there anything you need? I definitely have been looking for a Tri Recs ruler set. So I checked with the local shop, Golden Quilt Shop, Colorado. They had a set and hubby popped in and picked it up for me. Thank you Nancy!
Practiced a bit on this piece of fabric. It makes the cutting of these pieces a breeze. Once you get going, it is difficult to stop.
It is needed for the Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt, which was started last year in November. All these fabrics is from one quilter and I wanted to honour her by using it in one quilt. Have not started to sew the pieces yet, decided to wait until all the pieces was cut first.
A parcel arrived with the floss and some goodies which was on back order from a few months ago. The floss for the pumkin house and a kit for celebrating our grand pets.
It is perfect for celebrating the puppy and kitten.
