Country Christmas

Well I finally decided on the last block for the "Country Theme". As I already had Country Christmas and no printer ink to print out designs I thought to heck with it and went ahead and stitched it up.

So I now have 9 blocks completed and no fabric to use for sashing or borders, oh darn I'll have to go shopping.....lol.... I'm thinking of using a navy and cream and a red and cream homespun check, but it's just a thought at the moment, it could change.
So with that completed and revolting weather, thunderstorms, and no decent lighting in the sewing room because of the weather, what else is a girl to do but sit and stitch.
I've had my thinking hat on for birthday and Christmas presents for this year, (yes I do start Christmas gifts this early in the year). A few weeks ago I saw a photo of an embroidered photo album cover, so now that I have a template and the design, that's what the plan for today is. Saturday I'll shop for the album and the beads, I'll do this up for Jenna (dd#2) for Christmas, and I think I'll use the "When I was Little" embroidery for her birthday, still need to get it framed.
Well the thunder's returning so time to get back to the stitching.

I don't even want to think about Christmas! I could never be that organized.
