WIP Wednesday 08/20/2014

Wow! It has been a very busy week.  I have spent SO much time stitching, yet feel like I still have very little to show for it.  I suppose that is a consequence of having too many projects going at once.  Particularly when they are not quick projects.

You can see the progress I have made on my Winter/Christmas Wall Quilt. (You can click on any photo for a larger image.) I added the second name and began on the third. For next week's photo, I will remove this waste canvas so you can see it a bit better.
