Stitching and weekends ...

Last week I finished another heart for the Friendship RR that I'm participating in. This one is Danielle's (no blog) .. her fabric was 40 ct but a pure delight to stitch on. I stitched my heart with Belle Soie's Peacock. I loved how it turned out.
I started this piece in Arizona. It's Bent Creek's Rise and Shine. I love the colors of this piece .. and the rooster makes me smile everything I see him! lol ... I still have borders to finish and there's coffee cup on the right side of the design.
I started this one last week. It's Small Tokens by Blackbird Designs. I have lots of BBD in my stash but this is my first time stitching one .. how silly is that! I see a lot more BBD stitching in my future ..
Saturday I went with a couple of friends to this quilt exhibit ... American Quilt Classics, 1800 - 1980: The Bresler Collection. What a wonderful exhibit! I wish I could have taken pictures. The detail of the handquilting was just amazing to me. Such little stitches! lol ... there was a charm quilt that was looked like it would fit a full size bed ... there was not one duplicated fabric in the entire quilt! It must have taken a few years to amass that many different pieces of fabric. There was one quilt that was a teach piece, there were still basting stitching in it. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday. Lunch and a quilt show with friends ... fun fun fun :) Here's a picture of Connie and Lisa on our way to the museum ...

So it's Sunday .. a little laundry, a little stitching, even a little fabric dyeing, and a lot of Lifetime movies lol. I hope you have had a great weekend and
I hope you find your joy in your stitches ...
I'm grateful for the Grand Canyon Girls Club ...
