Sewing for Fun...
Here I am, sewing for fun. I had purchased an embroidery CD that does cross stitch. I used to do cross stitching but I was eventually reduced to doing so by wearing a magnifying glass around my neck. Now I can cross stitch all with the simple ease of my embroidery machine. Amazing designs. I gathered up a bunch, grabbed up some fabrics and made a quilt. I love it....
I also have an embroidery CD that offers up designs with a tea time theme. I did these napkins for a friend who loves to have tea parties. Such fun....
As a side note, today marks the 6th anniversary of my retirement. My oh my, I worked until I was 70-1/2 and I waited so long to retire, to be home all day, sewing, making cards, beading and doing whatever I wanted with my new found freedom. I am simply in shock to realize that 6 years have gone by me. But I sure have had a lot of fun in those many months, and hopefully the fun will continue for many more retirement years as well.

Carole, Happy Anniversary! I wish you many more crafty retired years, too. Love seeing all your sewing projects. This is beautiful.
Carole that quilt is fabulous.... Not as fabulous as my napkins, which I LOVE!, but fabulous none-the-less!!
I will be blogging on the napkins soon.... But I just wanted to take one more opportunity tell you thank you!!

How wonderful. I was an avid Cross Stitcher for about ten years. Then I discovered Scrapbooking! I have never stitched since...lol. Imagine, a CD and machine that does it for you. I think that was half the problem - it took so long to create some of the designs. I stitched the "Samurai Warrior" back in 2003 - it took me the best part of the year to finish it - but, boy is he majestic! Well worth the effort. Maybe I should put him on my blog one day. Great to read that you are enjoying your retirement to the full Carole - six years goes so quickly! Merry Christmas... Hugs xx
You are such a whizz with sewing Carole. Fabulous quilt and such pretty napkins.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy and Healthy 2014!
