September Birdie Stitches

This one was so cute, I started it right away:


Thanks again to Corey of Little Miss Shabby for this wonderful year of stitching (and a great quilt at the end of the year)!

+++++++++++
We went swimming in our lake yesterday for what will probably be the last time this year - it was so fun!  It makes me sad though to think I'll have to wait seven more months until we can swim here again.

+++++++
Lots more sewing going on, costume, curtains, wool applique, Single Girl basting, block six of Embroidery 101....but nothing else to show yet.

So pretty Mary! Thank you for always inspiring me <3 I'm just getting back into my creative mood - thank you for keeping it alive - even if it was buried for awhile. I appreciate your posts and that you share your talent with all of us - thank you :)

Mary, your stitches are so beautiful. I can always tell when it's been a week or so since I have worked on my Birdie Stitches blocks--it takes a while to get my stitches nice and even again...
