Spring in Spring

I am what we call Judy's retreat, she calls it camp.  Any way I'm happy to be able to join in with my friends and sew again.  This time I brought only hand stitching.  I have so much of it and so many UFO's that need hand work, that I could do 2-3 years of retreats and only do hand work and I might be caught up.  Excuse me while I have a laughing fit. :).  Uh hmm.. Okay back to my post.  I'm working on the wool "Spring" table mat that I'm doing for my friend Cheryl. It is also my OMG for the month so I wanted to stay focused on it even though I brought 4 other UFO's to work on.  Here's how it looked before I started which is the same as it did in the last post. 

And here's what I'm getting done. I needed to finish 6 of the yellow flower tops on this one.

Then I did this - 

Next was this one - I really like it a lot.

That's what I was able to get done by Friday night before we all left for dinner. 

Yesterday didn't go as quick, but I had a lot of interruptions.  Phone calls, lots of texts, chatting a tutorial of a dragon fly... I'll show that later.  

 After completing the last three seams of crazy stitches I did some bees in the center. 

And here is the completed top.  Later in the month I'll be linking this up to OMG over at Elm Street Quilts.  I stayed focused on it because it was my 

One Monthly Goal.  This morning as we finish out the rest of the retreat I'll be working on my February Stitch a long hosted by Crabapple Hill Designs.  I let you know later How I do on that.

Have a great day, Blessings - Lynn
