Busy, Busy

The celebrations are over, although I'm still grinning from ear to ear. A little clarification, what I received was not citizenship, but permanent residency. I can apply for citizenship in another three years.
Now that the celebrations are over it's time to get busy again. I did a little shopping on the weekend for threads for the tea swap. Lovely Weeks Dye works in very yummy colours, all ready to be stitched into the project.

A little peek at part of the project.
I've been busy quilting the "love" quilt, and am about a third the way through. I hope to make more progress on it today.
While I shopped on Saturday I also purchased a piece of fabric for this quilt. Still haven't decided if I'll use if for another border or just bind it. Hopefully you'll see progress on this one later in the week or next week.

Happy Stitching.

Soooo wonderful to read of your new of PERMANENT RESIDENCY in the GREAT USA! I think that those of us whov'e been born here don't really have a clue as to the passion some people carry in their hearts to become Citizens! I pray your prayers will be answered soon and that the next three years will pass quickly.

Blessings to you! LOVE your BLOG and your loving spirit! It certainly shines through...love the beautiful STITCHING, too! Goodness! You are soooo talented.

Hugs to you from ICY and COLD Oklahoma!

I just found you through another blog and am happy to say I am a child of the King also!! I like your windmill quilt. I'm not sure if that's the name of it or hourglass. I have made one like that before and I really like yours. It was fun to stop by and I'm sure I'll be here again!! My husband is a pastor so I better get ready for church.:) Congratulations!
