IHSW and Stitch and Bitch

We had a great Stitch and Bitch this weekend. Jan, Tracey and I had a great breakfast and a wonderful morning of stitching and bitching. Helen was able to join us at lunch time and she joined right in. 
I worked on Pot 4 Dickie during our S & B and the rest of the day. I finished up the end of the band today and had to take a quick snap. Here it is one more band done on the way to finish my long long band sampler. 
Happy Stitching Everyone

WIPS for March

Don't have much to show for this last months since I was away for a while and OK I admit it I was in reading mode.  I did work on my Long Dog Sampler Pot 4 Dickie while I was in Florida. But most of the time I was sitting with my big brother Denny, he had by-pass surgery on Feb 17th so we sat and talked a lot this trip. He read his old time Sci-fi paperbacks and I read about my Vampires and Werewolves on my Nook.

 I went ahead and opened it up so you all can see how far I have gotten. I have a loooong way to go and I still love this piece.

I worked on my Wiehenburg Quaker Welcome Bank a little while too. I am stitching it  up and down but I am turning the pattern so the letters will be on their side until I hang the piece over a door in my new home in Florida when I move in a few months. 
Happy Stitching all and I hope to have a lot to show next months.
