Progress

During our embroidery retreat, our hostess, Brenda (no blog) talked about the "plop & drop" method which she defined as stitching out  embroidery designs and sewing them together without adding extra blocks or borders.  She said to think outside the box........I realized, I've always thought outside the box....more to the point....."What box!"

Remember this little quilt from a couple of year ago....

The Fruits of my Labor is progressing nicely. I'm using some of those one thousand 2 1/2 inch squares that my "wacky" girlfriends and I cut and traded as a challenge last year.  Those girls really keep me on my toes.  My next step is to continue with the squares as the first border, then come back with a wider border of some sort....so stay tuned.
