A bit more progress

First of all, thank you so much for all the lovely well wishes yesterday.  Jack and I had an outstanding steak dinner at a nice restaurant and the waiter brought us a gigantic dessert to share.  We waddled out of there quite stuffed but enjoyed every single bite!

I have made some progress on my crazy quilt pillow cover for fall....


Two more motifs added using cross stitch and waste canvas (I don't suppose you've noticed that I LOVE that technique!!).  The flower on the right was also done using waste canvas.  I had the little bees in my stash so they made a perfect addition.

Today the quote is from Charles Kingsley..... "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about"

    I just HAVE to try your waste canvas technique. Waste canvas was the rage in crafting back in the 80s and I used it frequently on sweatshirts. I just love the small motifs you create using it.
