Have you all been wondering if I've fallen off the face of the earth? Sometimes I start to think that myself. However, I have been stitching a bit here and there since halloween. This past Saturday a couple of ladies from our Smocking Guild and I got together and constructed some Wee Care gowns. All was going great until we ran into pleating issues. I am telling you, sometimes pleating is almost effortless and other times.....well let's just say this was one of the other times. We had three pleaters and until we found our groove we had lots of problems! But we were finally successful and pleated 13 gowns. Now comes the fun part....the smocking!
I've also been working on a few crochet projects for a friend of mine. Her mom passed away and was in the middle of about 8 crochet projects for various family members. Emily and I agreed to finish them for her. So even though I've been quiet....I've still been quite busy. I hope you all are enjoying the fall and stitching a bit here and there as well!

Cindy, It must be in the water! We had our wee care workshop, AND had pleating issues, like many broken needles. We did finally get our gowns done. What is that adorable bag in your picture?
Blessings, Darby
How fun... and such a good cause to keep you busy and away from blogging!
What a beautiful gift to do for your friend in finishing her mother's projects. The gowns too--what a nice gesture.
Thanks Darby, Kellie, and Hopewell! I love volunteering my time for others!!! I really enjoy it and always have! Although now with four little ones it is a tricky balancing act at times.
Darby, I call this my sewing pouch and I made it several years back. I still use it ALL the time and still love it!!! Here are a few posts where I wrote about it:
