For the first two weeks in January, a friend and I went on a cruise. I had not been on a vacation of even a week since 2018, so I was overdue. Part of my planning was to prepare some handwork to carry with me. Honestly, I don't know if that bag got packed or not. I am certain that I didn't stitch a single stitch while I was on vacation. -And that was fine by me. I rested, played and just generally enjoyed my break from being Mom's caregiver.
So, I had a prepared piece with everything I needed to work on it in a tote bag.
I took that bag to Mom's and worked on doing all of the hand stitching. I really enjoyed it.

Better yet, I got it all ready for the quilting phase. I did that quilting on Friday and added a backing to it. It is now ready to be put on a canvas for hanging. I thought that I had a canvas ready - but, no of course the one that is ready is the wrong size.
For the photo, I just placed it over another piece that is mounted on canvas and happens to be the correct size.
It appears a bit nore colorful in person. I love it.
I have made several of these in the past. Those showed up in my Library Gallery Show
back in 2023. Happily all of those sold.
Now I have this new one and this one that is hanging in my bedroom for now.
Perchance, I will have another show and sell these also.
I would certainly love to sell some of my artwork- why?
I need room to make more!
