My sister went home yesterday so life is back to normal in our home. It's time to settle down and do something serious with a needle and thread. :-) All the inspiration in blogland truly boggles my mind. I want to do it ALL. Sigh! :-)
I hope that life is treating you well. Life is treating me just fine! Thanks for stopping by - come again and often!
In Friendship!

Wow!! You are good. I have not even received mine yet. Good for you.
You don't waste any time!! Love the sweet stitchery.
That was quick!!!! Wish I could be that quick...someday...anytime...right now ...maybe...;o)
Now that's what we should all do when we get those little packages in the mail - snap to it, LOL. Good job and love the block.
Hugs - Karen
Way to go! Don't we wish we could keep up with all our projects like that??!
Cute block and you are a speedy that is for sure. No dust collected on that package!
Good on you for getting right down to business. I'm feeling so far behind right now but no problem I'll catch up soon.
It's so cute! Get right to it must be your motto. *s*
You must have been on stitching withdrawls..... I wonder if this next month will feel like forever for you!!
This makes me wish I were doing this BOM - but I absolutely positively cannot tackle one more thing! I know I'm gonna' love this quilt though. Blessings, marlene
Look at you go. I wish I could be so good a Bom's. You are a role model :-)
Well you didn't waste any time! LOL! It is good when everything is setup and there are no roadblocks to just getting things done. Can't wait to see the finished project.
Its great to have company but its good to get back into a regular routine. Love the block. This is a great project.
Hi Darlene
You sound like me. When I get a new project I want to drop everything and do it right then and there.
Hugs, Rhondi
Oh my Darlene, I have mine about finished too, well the stitching that is. I almost finished last night but my eyes kept closing. Then I have to do the stitching.
BUT, I somehow skipped the house, so I'll go back and do that one!
Good for you! Maybe I could learn a lesson from you....don't set it aside and get to it! I've been collecting Piece & Plenty BOM pkgs from Fat Quarter Shop for nearly a year now. I keep thinking I would take the time to actually start them! I think my mistake was applique....I still haven't figured out how I want to do them so there they sit in a nice little tub.
I am totally impressed, Darlene! What adorable blocks! My BOMs, ahem, seem to just collect...shhh... :-)
Great work on that block!! Oh no, we are major Angels fans here!!! We are going to the Yankee/Angel game Friday night.
I just last night put the last stitch in the spring blocks but didn't sew them together yet. I think I have a bunch of Summer ones waiting in the project box, I'm really behind on a ton of BOMs.
Just slow yourself down over there MISSY!!!!! I've got all mine traced but havent worked on one yet. I did finish the first section though. After that I fizzled out.
I love the primitive BOM, I might just have to sign up for it, I love the primitive stitchery patterns. I was reading that you made this while watching the Diamondbacks, and I thought, what - wait a minute where does this girl live? Yep, Arizona just like me. I'm in Glendale.
Love your blog, too, Darlene! I don't usually do embroidery/stitcheries a lot these days, but have joined a Stitcher's Angel Swap, so will have to get back to it.
'Bye - Lurline.
The quilt is coming along nicely Ms Speedy! ;o) Lovely block! Keep well!
Wow! I'm impressed...that's about as quick as it gets!
Wow! Great job. The stitchery is great!
It looks great! Your quilt is going to be lovely. I enjoyed your blog. Happy quilting, Em
I like the block . . . and that the DBacks won. =)
Look at you go!! It's very pretty, too! I agree with you - there's a whole lotta inspiration in blogland.
I love reading your timeline of gettin' it dun.
