Ribb-it

KKCQ - 2010
Barbara Ana's design (section) "Wanted" on White Aida 14 ct

This is the first square I have made for Mary's project: Krafter Korner Charity Quilts .
This quilt will be going to a young boy with cancer. The theme he picked up was frogs 'cuz him and his family believe F.R.O.G. stands for Fully Rely On God. Quite nice, uh? =)
I totally messed with the design: changed colors, removed sections of it... But it was fun to stitch.

Woof!

SFPSFC#01-2010

My Very BesTesT Friend, by 4 My Boys
Hang 'Em Up - #01 (14ct Aida)

Another finish!!! Gee, Im on fire! Lol. Naaaah... This one is a very very small finish, super fast kinda thing.
That's my 1st square of the year for the Stitching For Pleasure, Stitching For Charity project.Take a look here if wanna join. Auntie Jane can sure use a few extra hands of good willing stitchers.

I completely changed the colors key on this one here. Well... I do that a lot! Lol. Love to play with colors, so I just go for it and honestly I am pleased with the final result, even it looks so diff from the original.


That's not the 1st time I stitch for the SFPSFC project, but was away from it for over a year. Was missing it... This feeling of doing something so small, together with so many other ladies around the world, and make something bigger and meaningful. Warms my heart when I think on the smiles my and the other stitchers works bring to the kids and their families.
I dont know who is gonna get this lil piece of my work here, and its not really that important, but I hope she or he can smile while looking at it. I know I already am.

This is the square I made for a surprise quilt. The only reason Im posting it here is that Im 150% sure the recipient of the about to be surprise quilt doesnt read my blog at all. Hehehehe... (evil laugh).
Im just happy I could count on Nia's help with this projetc. On the instructions, I was told to work with 2 plies on the backstitch of those hearts. I thought it would be just too much. Didnt know what to do, and Nia  (obrigada, pekena!) was sweet enough to point me what would give me the more delicate look. I am quite pleased with the final result. What about you?

One simple question

Do you believe its possible to happens a genuine, honest friendship between a man and a woman? No sex, no drama, no nothing, but plain good hearted friendship.
Im really curious on what you girls think...

I was introduced to this tune back in Nov. 9th 2009 (yes, I remember the exact moment of it). Awesome memories... Yesterday someone reminded me about this song and since then thats pretty much all I've been listenning to. Lol. Just can't have enough of Corinne and those super sweet memories...
