Crazy Quilt Update

So I have managed to do a little a little stitching in between the hecticness that is my life. This was done before I started the mask. Hopefully I will be able to finish this block now that the mask is complete. However I now have to make some gaucho pants for my roomate to go with a costume. I don't think that will take me too long. Also I have another small project in the back of my mind I'd like to start. I participated in the Needle and Thread: Stitching for Literacy New Blogger Puzzle Contest. I loved the saying the puzzle was.

COME IN THE EVENING,

COME IN THE MORNING,

COME WHEN EXPECTED,

COME WITHOUT WARNING;

THOUSANDS OF WELCOMES,

YOU'LL FIND HERE BEFORE YOU

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME,

THE MORE WE'LL ADORE YOU.

I want to cross stitch this on a pillow with a fancy border. This would be a perfect little gift for my memre. Any way on to the block.

I used three brand new stitches I had never tried before. Rope stitch for the stem. Woven trellis stitch for the petals. Raised close herringbone stitch for the leaves. I love all these stitches.
