I had an entire afternoon off from the day job, so I planned to spend it working on a new project. No deadlines, not doing housework, no have to do because…; just for the fun of it.
We were in the midst of our first blizzard of the season. A cozy afternoon with a pot of tea and in my favorite space of the house would be heaven on earth.
But when I came home, the power was out.
Sew what! Light the lamps and the woodstove, and all is well!
It was out for twelve hours!
Number 2 was drawn by Patchwork Times for the November UFO goal.
My number 2 is to do something with the Brazilian embroidery piece that I finished back in the year 2012.
I have decided to make it into a pillow.

My goal for October was to work on my Aunt Bea’s Parlor embroidery project.
I wanted to finish the embroidery, and get the blocks squared up and the corner triangles added.
All but the last block are finished in the photo below. All are sewn together, except the last row.
I am liking this!
I even have the first round of borders sewn…a bonus for me, as I didn’t expect to get this far this month.
I am linking up with OMG at Elm Street Quilts and Patchwork Times.
Update:
Thanks to Slow Sunday Stitching yesterday, I finished embroidering the 20th (and last) block!
I also sewed the last row to the rest of the blocks, and put the top border on.
I’m pretty happy with the progress of this project!
