Ryan Newman is on the pole for the race in Atlanta on Sunday!!! First time in 21 tries - is my driver finally making a comeback? I can hope! (As a big Red Sox fan, one might think I would be a big Roush-Fenway fan, but no - it is all Newman for me!)
Barnabee's Quest has now outgrown my scanner. I worked away on it for quite a bit tonight. I made a mistake though. When I put this down last Friday, I had stitched up through the first caterpillar and left a needle threaded with DMC 520 in the fabric. Tonight, I started with caterpillar two, a bit distracted by watching NASCAR Qualifying, and I forgot that the middle caterpillar is supposed to be stitched in DMC 522. I am not going to fix this mistake. I don't think it makes any consequence to the finished effect, and it makes it my own, right? Also, an uh-oh. I started further down on my linen than I should have. I think the whole sampler will fit, but not with the allowance at the bottom that I had wanted. Can't say this is the first time I have ever done that!I heard from Julie today that she received my birthday gift for her. Julie has been so good to me, and is such a lovely woman. Her birthday is early next week, and I am so happy she likes this wee tiny little fob - which counts as freebie #3 for the Freebie Challenge on the FGBB as well:
It's snowing, as was forecasted. Plenty of it, sigh... where is spring??....I hope to finish up Rachael's Neighborhood RR tomorrow and get it off to Annemarie in Monday's mail - I am never late mailing RR's, but I miscalculated with this one - I had no idea the blocks were so big and would take so long to fill.
Stitched on today: Finished a gift, and Barnabee's Quest

Hi Carol- It's not a mistake - it's personalized.
You have mentioned a couple of times that my block is so big- is it not 100x100? I thought it was, but maybe I miscounted when I did the cutting and dividing. Sorry.
What a great fob! BQ is looking wonderful
Barnabee's Quest is beautiful, Carol!
Your fob is absolutely cute. And don't worry about the "mistake."

HI Carol,
Glad to see one of our guys on the pole!
Cute fob and I like your ducks. :) Is there suppose to be an empty space across from the bunny on his row? I just keep looking at that spot so I had to ask.
Cute fob, what a fun surprise for her to get. As to Barnabee, it's lovely. The slight changes just make it uniquely yours.
Sorry to hear about your getting more snow, hope this will be the last of it for you for the winter.

Your BQ is beautiful :) No one will even notice a mistake :) Plus we all do them! Do you have all the hardware that goes with BQ? I saw on Michele's blog that she found the pull for hers.
Yeah Ryan!!
Your fob is gorgeous and you are kindhearted to do special things for so many people :)
Wow, you will be done with Barnabee in no time! I love the little catapillers.
Oh, it's looking lovely! How do you plan to finish this when it's done?
Another gorgeous gift!! You do such neat finishing work Carol. I am very envious lol.
Your wips are looking great Carol, I love the photo of napping cats
Barnabee is looking brilliant Carol and I love the fob.
It looks like we may have snow moving in on Monday and Tuesday but not sure if we'll get it where I am. I am kind of hoping so as we've only had one little covering this Winter!
Your stitching is lovely, as always, Carol. That fob is adorable! :)
Mistake? What mistake? I didn't even notice... ;-) Barnabee's Quest looks great, and your fob is too cute!!
BQ is so lovely, Carol! And there is no mistake, you just personalised it... :-)
The wee fob is adorable and such a lovely, and thoughtful gift!
congrats to Ryan! it has been a while for him .. BQ looks great! I love the fob, your finishing is always so nice :)
You are such a kind person - another beautiful fob! I'm sure Julie loves it!
Yet another beautiful job ... you're amazing!! :D
Gorgeous fob, Carol! I attached my beauty from you to my new Dovos. (Yes, they did arrive in time.) Barnabee looks great! You will be at the end soon. I can't wait to see the whole thing. :D
