Emrie celebrated her first birthday on Sunday, and I (finally) presented her with her quilt. It matches her nursery and will drape the back of the rocker when not in use.
I also had time to do some stitching while traveling to and from Philadelphia last week. Although I had a couple WIPs I could have taken, I started a new project for the trip. I wanted something on light 28-, 30- or 32-count fabric so that it would be easier to see on the plane and in the typical hotel room with bad lighting. Both of the WIPs were on 36- and 40-count darker fabric. I also wanted something that only had a few flosses to minimize what I had to pack with me. And, lastly, I wanted a pattern that easily fit in my small, vinyl travel-stitching pouch which began life as packaging for pillow cases. (This photo shows how I pack up my stitching for travel.)
I chose a Little House Needleworks design and finished the stitching last night. Quick and easy and fun.
Have a great Monday everyone!

Emrie is a doll! Her quilt is a beauty, too! I have used those pillow case packs to hold projects as well - they work great!
Love your finish! Very cheerful, great colors!
Nice finish! LHNs are such fun stitches, aren't they? I love their latest design, Thirteen Colonies.
Emrie is ADORABLE!! I love her name. The quilt is beautiful--I'm sure it will be treasured.
