Quilter's Cottage Stitch Along
Week 1 is Done!
A day late and a "design element" variation in the center
but I am calling it good!
This stitch along has weekly goals and a random prize each week.
Last night I finished here.
The center gate and gateposts are one square too high,
but I am calling it "fine by me."

With bleary eyes I progressed to here
before I noticed that the pickets in my fence were too close together.
This had to go.
This had to go.
So my night ended with a little frog going "ribbit ribbit."
For this project I am using a new frame,
I bought an 8" square one a while ago but this is the first time I have used it.
It is very light and holds the cloth taut
and it packs up neatly in a plastic ziplock bag to carry along with me.
I have now purchased an extension kit to make it larger.
Here it is 8" by 11"
and I will add the other extension soon to make it
an 11" square.
I have also been working on the gray and yellow baby quilt
and that will be my focus for the next few days.
Hope to be stitching Week 2 soon,
Hope to get it done on time next week.
If not, it is all good.
It is not a race; it is a journey.
Happy Stitchy Quilty Journeys to you!
:-)
