Let's see....news....I had my last day of work Monday, during a snowstorm. The powers that be are moving everything to a facility an hour away from me, and I won't drive that far for work. Very sad...but I have to wonder what God is freeing me up for! I will wait and see. I've also officially retired from selling patterns...although I'll still be drawing and stitching, everything will just be shared on my facebook group.
Friday February 1st I'll be starting a new, free BOM on my facebook page [link on right sidebar]. Grow In Grace. It's not really a BOM, as it will be a weekly upload. These are the first four blocks -
Just a little stitching fun. I had planned on doing a full size quilt along with this, using up the fat quarter bundle of Hopelessly Romantic that I got a year ago, and only one block - repeated, of course - forgetting how very much I don't like piecing, and how rubbish I am at it. I did make a block, and will do a tutorial for it, but I'm not making more, lol. I'll do a quilt with just squares instead. This BOM will use some of the fabric in the sashing and border, so they'll be companion projects.
I haven't been around to your blogs much. I just haven't had the energy...either working, running mum around, or stitching on the couch. But you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I'll be back on Friday to share the tutorial for the quilt block, inspired by my kitchen floor, lol. And of course the first block in our Grow In Grace wallhanging. Until then, stay warm [or cool, and DRY for my Queensland friends!], I'll see you soon!
Love,
Allie

Oh I love the blocks! I'll be watching for them on Facebook.
Love your blocks Allie. Trying to stay cool but not having much success. 😊😊. Hugs, xx
I love stitcheries with sayings, they are always fun to do and give as gifts.
I haven't been selling myself, but I do miss creating new patterns, so maybe some this year.
When one door opens, another opens, I hope your new journey is something wondrous.

Stay warm! Even here in the south, we are having colder than normal winter weather. Everyone should be getting a lot of stitching done ;-)
Beautiful blocks! We are following the extreme weather conditions in your area here in the Netherlands. Stay warm!
Shame about the job Allie. Stay warm and be thankful you don't have to venture out in the snow! xx

Waving at ya Allie! Stay warm! Your embroidery looks fabulous!!! Hugs!

I am looking forward to the new blocks. I am on the other side of the state. We at at -4 with windchill at -18. We have sunshine though and LOTS of snow. Would love to have you send me the patterns.
Sweet and lovely.
I'm sorry your job is ending; I know how much you enjoyed it. I've enjoyed seeing the posts on facebook. That's going to be a fun group!
These stitcheries are so cute, Allie! Thank you for sharing them.
They are wonderful blocks, such a special theme. BOW. =) I will alert people on QuiltBOM about it. I'm not on FB, but I will enjoy seeing each thing you post here. I'm looking forward to that block to see what your kitchen floor looks like!
