Happy Spring my dear friends, it chilly today but not cold, as the ground warms the air seems warmer even when it is a balmy 36 degrees, the snow is almost gone but who knows what will come in the form of moisture, I am hoping for rain not snow.
I have been busy playing suzie homemaker I cleaned the fridge/freezer yesterday, surprising I only had to get rid of two items, I use baking soda in my fridge and freezer and change them every three-four months, you never know what smells that will appear in there.
I have also done very little stitching but have a construction to show you, this is a class project from Betsy Morgan Willing hands class from 2015, Paper Pieceing Bristol Bag, I love this even in all its redness on white, I usually do not do monochromatic projects.
I did get some stitching done on my Little Snowy Blue Church, I am still waiting for the Krienik thread to get to my home.
My next construction project is a Blackbird Designs Class Project, I hope to have this barrel finished tomorrow evening. I took this class last year in Chaska Minnesota, Stitchville USA has a Spring Fling every year.
I was reading on some designers sites they like to back their pieces with lite weight fusing, it sure does help keep the wrinkles away, I would have done the same for the top of this barrel but that would have made my needle and pins dull so only the lower barrel is fused.
This evening Mike leaves at midnight for Adoration until 01:00 a.m. I then go from 02:00 a.m. until 03:00, unless the person replacing me does not show up which has happened before, I will be tired but do not have to work at the food shelf tomorrow, we will be delivering meals on wheels on Monday.
We will be serving dinner here on Easter Sunday, we are expecting a small group, we used to take everyone out for buffet but since so many have left this world we feel it is just as good for me to cook dinner which I am looking forward to.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate and Happy Passover to all who celebrate.

Pretty stitching, especially the little bag and set.
Your Betsy Morgan piece is fantastic! You beautifully stitched it and put it together. I took my first two classes with her last month and she is a fantastic teacher. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Beautiful finishes Catherine.

The bag is beautiful Catherine! Congrats on both the beautiful stitching and the assembly.
The stitching bag is really cute. Was there any sewing involved in the construction? It looks to me like you have been doing quite a bit of stitching and on such cute projects too. You are so talented. Sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead. Take care and Happy Easter.
O, this construction finish... splendid!

Great stitching, Catherine. Happy to meet you, my friend.
Your red bag is simply gorgeous. I’ve seen that one in person at a retreat with Betsy Morgan. I didn’t take that class but Betsy had it on display. Those who have not seen it in person can’t appreaciate how many and how tiny the pieces are. Terrific job stitching and finishing.
More lovely stitching and finishing. The red bag is just wonderful.
Nice progress on the church too. I love these sparkly buildings.
O, this construction finish... splendid!
