So, I am going to try to post something with a picture. This is a group project for our District Missionary League. This is the banner that our president will be carrying in for the national convention at the end of June. We wanted to get it done early so that we could send it to Peoria early and it has a chance to "hang out" after being mailed in a tube.

The following is the statement our Committee chair wrote [She also designed the banner.] to explain the meaning: The sun rising over the mountains and hills signifies the wonders of God's creation. The cross in the center of the mountain top reminds us that Christ died for our sins, we are forgiven and we should keep Him in the center of our lives. The downward slope of the hills and the words "Living on the EDGE with JESUS" tell us to step out of our comfort zone, witness to others and spread the Word of God's grace. By keeping Christ first, we will not fall off that edge.

I have a few more small finishes to share. Mug Rugs are delivered. It may seem silly to have a travel case for a travel mug but I find it easier for transporting when I don't plan to drink until at destination and I'm walking. Those two fabrics I just received last week and both are used.except for triangles that found their way to a WIP bin. Neither was a very big piece.

Georgia--If we discount weekly trips to the clinic for the next six months, things are pretty well back to normal. I have, however, reorganized my hobby time where I retreat to the sewing room and sewing machine during his nap time. Amazing what I can accomplish in an hour or two a day, also stash busting at the same time. Mind you, once I get sewing I often just keep going. During all the waiting and keeping company time at the clinic I am working on a bluework Winter hanging. During TV time I am either hand piecing Dresden Plates, a stash buster, using some FQs from QYW UFO prize from several years ago. I also have others collected over the years that just didn't want to play well in any project. I am pairing two fabrics per wheel. They are too varying to use the same fabric for the center so I found a use for the left over hexes that I was ready to pass on.I think the end result will be pretty eclectic but it is just that point that is endearing this project to me. My alternate TV project is counted cross stitch. So, I am making great progress on many projects.
