Its time to be brave

This is my first post. I set up the blog months ago but I have taken until now to be brave enough to post. This blog will be about my stitching adventures. I have loved stitching as long as I can remember. My mother was a tailoress and so I was lucky enough to have always had fabric and thread around me.
My DH most probably thinks I have more than enough. I tell him that's because it is spread around not in one room as I unfortunately do not have a dedicated space.
It seems I will only be able to add photos at the end.
My latest finish is Lavender Garden by Martina of Chatelaine designs published in TGOSM.
I will also add a photo of my Shabby Roses Quilt designed by Jenny of Elefantz blog and a ornament I made for an exchange. I used part of the Winter Band Sampler from LHN.

    My needlework also has no specific space so it's spread all over my house. But you know, I like it that way. I've even got enough of it that I store some in the closet and periodically rotate what's on my walls. Your shabby rose quilt is lovely. My grandmother (who taught me to stitch) was a quilter. I never took up the craft, but I have tremendous admiration for people who do. I still have several of the quilts she made for me and they are prized possessions.
