Polly and Baby
After a stitching marathon today (5 hours!), I finished the baby buggy on “Passing Admirers!” May I present… (drum roll please) Polly and Baby!
I can’t believe how much progress I have made on this piece in just a little over a month! The buggy stitched up smoothly and today I got a taste of the colors in Maggie’s dress (the hood of the buggy is the same “antique violet”). With the completion of the buggy, I am well over the half-way mark and I am really looking forward to starting on Maggie.
I am so in love with this piece!! I already know where I am going to hang it when I am finished: directly over the TV and across from my stitching chair!
However, since I can already see the end of this piece (probably within a couple of months), I am starting to think about which “large” project I want to stitch next. The problem is, lately I have collected so many that I am having trouble making a decision!
And this, dear readers, is where you come in. I have placed a mini-poll on the side bar asking your opinion. You can vote as many times as you want and I will collect the answers until “Passing Admirers” is finished. I can’t guarantee I will choose which one gets the most votes, but I will consider your opinions when making my decision.
- “Ashley’s Roses” (Mirabilia)
- “Mother’s Arms” (Mirabilia)
- “Catch the Wind” (Butternut Road)
- “Romeo and Juliet” (TW)
- “The Lady of Shalott” (TW)
- “Pansy Angel” (Black Swan)
- “Angel of the Needle” (Black Swan)
- “Patchwork Santa” (Dimensions)
- “The Candy Tuft Fairy” (DMC)
Thanks for your input! That’s what I love about blogging… 
And now, I’m off to pack for vacation!

I vote for Ashley’s Roses - first, because my name is Ashleigh
And second because I can loan you the chart or swap if you like. I have the chart sitting unused in my stash

Renee, I love Polly and Baby your work is beautiful.
I have to tell you that I would love to see your next project be Mothers Arms, I am a quilter and the baby’s patch work quilt is just calling to me. Do you ever do commission projects this is one that I would love to have for a wonderful friend of mine who is going thru IVF right now. If your interested please email me.. I hope you have a wonderful vacation. I’m looking forward to your pictures and stories. T
