Hi, everyone! It was another busy weekend. Eric’s graduation was yesterday, he received his second Master’s degree. We had a lovely dinner afterwards with both our families. I did get a little stitching in on Barnabee’s Quest over the weekend. I am so anxious to get this finished (frankly, I’d like to just finish ANYTHING!). I am getting very close on this one though. The last time I left off at the specialty stitches surrounding the knot garden. My last update was on June 1st.
I think I made quite a bit of progress on this.

After I took this photo yesterday morning, I did get back to work on it last night. I ripped out and restitched the gazing ball. I think Jenna had this same issue, stitching it the way it is charted left me with a rather squarish-looking ball. So, I ripped out that Kreinik and made the ball a little more, well, round. I finished up the knot garden flowers and then began stitching in the roses below it. I found a mistake in my greenery for the roses, so I had to do a little more ripping out and restitching. But, I was a good girl and immediately ripped out and restitched. I don’t want to get discouraged or frustrated with this so close to the end.
Once I finish the roses, I have the verse and the honeycomb to stitch – then beads! Woohoo!! I am so close to finishing I can feel it. My last big finish was Baby Garden…in NOVEMBER!! I am definitely due for another good-size finish. So, keep cheering me on and I hope that next time I update I will have a finish to show you!!
I am grateful for Eric’s new degree…I am so proud of him!
Hurray and many congratulations on Eric’s accomplishment!
Your Barnabee’s Quest is looking divine!

Congratulations to Eric on his second Master’s degree. Very exciting! Barnabee’s Quest is almost at an end. It looks super and you are so close, you must be able to taste it by now. 🙂 I guess I had better hurry up and finish sewing up mine so that I can send you the finishing information. You’re going to need it soon! 😀 BTW, check my blog, I nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger award.

Hi Michelle,
Best wishes and hearty congratulations to Eric and his
earning a second Master’s Degree!
What an accomplishment! Something
indeed to be proud of.
Barnabee’s Quest is looking
fantastic, and you’re making
great progress on it. It looks
like a fussy one to work on, and
it must require a lot of patience and concentration. So I guess
I’ll never do this one myself.
Lol! Must say that it has some sweet and cute designs in it,
and the colours are beautiful.
Hope you had a good week, and
an even better weekend.
Cheers!
