Joyful Summer and Wednesday's and Thursday's SAL progresses

I finished up Joyful Summer. I decided to leave the 3 motifs above the large leaf on the top left off. I just prefer it that way! (scissors are a gift from Carol)

Happy Home Sampler (forgive the wrinkles-I didn't take time to press it as it went right back in the q-snap after I took the pic)

I would appreciate your prayers for an unspoken request by me. Thank you to those that can do so.

I must thank Carol for her lovely package for me-it honestly could not have arrived at a better time-thank you my friend!

kcenya1950 -the batting is only there to protect the fabric and my stitching when it is left in the q-snaps over a period of time. You do not stitch through it or anything like that-it is just covering the fabric under the q-snap to protect it.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit! I appreciate it so much!

hugs,
BeckySC
