Alice and the American Flag

It is a cold, wet, yucky day here today. It's very hard not to just curl up and stitch, but I do have other things I need to do today first.

I did make a lot of progress yesterday! First, Alice is done!

I love how this frame turned out! So with Alice being done, I'm entirely complete with the first installment of Story Time Sampler!

The next installment comes out on January 31st, so this piece has been put away for now until the next frame comes out!

So since I was finished with Alice early in the day, I picked up the American Flag Quilt Sampler and completed the next block for that piece as well,which was Georgia.

My one complaint about this chart is that it did not tell you how many skeins of floss you would need of a certain color, and I'm almost completely out of the blue for the background of this part of the flag. I ordered several more skeins last night, so hopefully that will be enough.

Here is the full piece to date.

I love this piece, but it's definitely going to be one of those that is slow going because I can really only handle doing one block at a time. Maybe that will change when I'm working on the stripes rather than the "stars" section. We'll see!

I'll be working on Angel of Compassion next. It is one of my huge HAED WIP's, so it will likely just be blocks of color with some confetti thrown in, but progress is progress. We'll see how much of it I can get done today!

Until next time!
