Hello Friends!
Hello Ice-Cold Saturday!
{soon to be warming up though ~}
{{fingers crossed}}
I wanted to share with you today something that I had seen on Colleen's blog:
it's a box she made from wool called a
Pentagon Sewing Box
{or a dodecahedron}
here is her blog link
and her box, below…
more recently, sweet Susie
from my Facebook Group: Humble Work Hand Embroidery
showed us her project-in-progress:
so I thought I would give it a try…
here's my work so far:
I chose to make my box using quilting cottons in varied light & tone-on-tones
in creams, browns, beige & whites ~
I have yet to stitch the edges of the pentagons together yet,
...but I will work on them today.
…then I'll stitch them all together and once completed,
I'll put the finishing touch of added feather stitching at all of the seams
using Valdani #8 pearl cotton - O 178
which is a variegated mix of said fabric colors above.
I can't wait to see it all finished up!

hop on over and have a nice visit with her, won't you?

speaking of 'visits'…

| yes, we are…. |
Peter has the wood stove blazing in there as I write this,
so I'm hoping that by 10:00 when we open the door
it will be comfy enough for us to work ~
we can all huddle together by the wood stove,
drink our hot tea & chocolate
and stitch the cold away!

for a visit with family up north…
we will return home to VA on the 13th
BUT

Upon our return,
