Stitching Away the Time (Patagonia, AZ)

Gorgeous butterfly!  Wouldn't the colors be perfect for a quilt?  Deep dark chocolate brown with lavender blue framed in black...I can see it now.  Actually, it sounds good enough to eat.  Hmm, I wonder if I have any fabric in those shades...Yea, I better not go shopping until after I finish the others and I better go eat.  Suddenly, I am very hungry for some chocolate.

I did finish my first snowman block in color.  I have decided not to do the "Snowman Collector" in Redwork.  I like using different colors.  Plus I have a lot of plaid sitting in storage.  A perfect combination of colorful snowmen in plaid frames.  Doesn't that sound like a very warm and cuddly quilt.

I think on the next one I am going to use more bright and bold colors so they will stand out more.  I like using the back stitch, but I am still a little uneven with the stitch lengths.  I'll have to work on that.

I hopped over my Valentine's Day Angels to work on my Rabbit Mug Rugs instead.  I like the way this one looks already!  I hope to have two done just before April.  Nancy Halvorsen has such cute patterns!
