...progress on the stitching front. Jenny Beans Halloween is having a bit of a makeover...she has become my half century sampler...I never had a birth sampler so this one is all mine! I added my own words where Jenny Bean's name was stitched on the original...I think it looks okay, what do you think? Once I have done the background behind the date I am going to tackle the front wall of the house.
Some chain piecing for Brocante...it is looking soft & pretty in French General...it will look great at Mum's place.
An afternoon with DS who is home from uni...so nice to have him around...we went to the movies and saw "Paul"...light & funny. Poor boy was stuck in the car with me prattling on for the 40minute drive to the movies & then 40 minutes home again! Smart mother isolating him in the car...then he can't get away...hehe!
Hope you have had a nice weekend...

More than just a pretty face, Cardy!! How did the captive cope?! ;)
Looks great Cardy xxx
I love how you're personalizing Jenny to be your own sampler. It looks great, as does your French General quilt. LOVE that fabric!
The sampler looks great! Love the fabrics in your Broncate...great progress. I'm hoping to start mine today with Halloween fabrics. Does it take a lot of time? I'd better set started!
Love the sampler and the general!! Trapping kids in the car on a long drive is the best way to get them to talk, great work!!! xo
Beautiful sampler and French General quilt. How nice to have pretty things to work on. Love the trapped son!
Love the sampler and the quilt! I totally agree with Cathy, they have to talk at some point in the long car ride.
Excellent idea to change the sampler to mark your big birthday this year. Poor DS but I'm sure it wasn't so bad & as long as he made his mum very happy it all good! Tracee xx
I love your sampler! I've always wanted one but never did it.

Love your Cross stitch - what a great keep sake to celebrate 50 years
Your cross stitch looks great. Nice to have some bonding time with your DS.
Very smart mother Alison - we have to take any opportunity we can to spend time with our children (no matter what age they are). Your cross stitch is looking wonderful, and so is Brocante (the fabrics are so pretty).
Love the work you have been doing! So did the son prattle off to you as well??? LOL
My Mr 21 can stay completely silent in a 40minute car trip LOL
Boy you are moving fast with your cross stitch. It look very nice.
It's wonderful and that quilt is going to be so pretty out of that fabric! Sneaky mom you are hijacking your son...ok, I've done that too!!!
Just gorgeous Allison... Love cross-stitch and I must must must get back into it.
Loved your idea of cornering kids in cars. I do it often as well :)
Hope you have a lovely LONG weekend.
