Then yesterday evening I finished up the square that is going to be part of a quilt in memory of Laura from the stitching community. Laura sadly passed away last month and it has been organised by some of her friends as a gift for her family so they can appreciate how well thought of she was. I chose to do the square that Teresa Wentzler adapted for my 30th birthday quilt last year and I stitched it in Laura's favourite purple colurs:
Out of courtesy I emailed Teresa to check it was ok to use and she was honoured to have its conclusion in the project. I felt it was appropriate as its something that defines me and my place in the online stitching community as well as being designed by someone whos board Laura was part of.
Today I am pretty tired after yesterday's busy day but finished up the next piece in my rotation plus a few minutes more to finish a thread lol, and have also completed my studies for the day. So for the rest of the day I plan to chill out and knit, stitch or surf.
This week is looking fairly quiet so far with a short appointment Thursday morning and getting some more study done inbetween.

Michelle it is so pretty. I really love it. Congratualtions. I hope you enjoy the studying.
Wow, you have friends in high places...in the stitching world! That design is stunning, in all those shades of purple. Well, it looks like there are many shades, but on closer inspection, is it possible that there are only two - light and dark? And some blended? Or even variegated? It's got me tossed - but it is lovely!
Its beautiful Michelle. I hope we will all get to see piccies of the finished quilt when its done. :o)
Gina it is 4 colours of purple. The 4 straight in a line starting at Dmc 550. But I think the darkest and the middle ones were those I used the most and thats it-no blends and no variegateds.
What a lovely piece for Laura. I can't wait to see the whole quilt.
