I can't believe how much he has grown, right before my very eyes! I think the "Isaac and cat" pictures are about over. I had...

I went back to leaf #2 and added a center. I like it! That double strand thread left such a big hole in the middle that I felt it needed t...

Here's the latest. Fun, fun, fun!

With Sherry's permission, I added a middle to her leaf pattern. Using the small thread, the hole is fine, but on the big thread I have ...

This is Sherry's Autumn Leaf #2 Sherry Pence I promised I would correct my mistake on the first one! This is the same thread that I us...

First, a disclaimer for Sherry's sake! I made a mistake at the top which made me run out of room at the bottom. I knew I had made one,...
