Patch #268 5K Flyer

Patch #269 Pride of Wentzville

Original Post

It's really fun having two grandsons about the same age (4 and almost-4). This weekend J played his first t-ball game ...

and G ran his first 5K (with his mom) ...

Looks like a yellow memory patch (or two) is in order.

In the meantime, I completed another row of checkered patches ...

although I'm woefully behind on September's patches. No worries, I spent today playing with tea bags for my Deb Sposa assignment. One sea shell version done with Inktense pencils ...

and one done on a tea bag that was nested in red onion skins as it dried ...

Both were "filled" with a layer of tea-dyed flannel. And I'm still learning what works: how much stitch the tea bags can take (a lot, it turns out, including taking stitches out), and which stitches best accomplish the ridges I'm after on the shells ...

Stacked running stitch wins over backstitch ...

but you probably knew that.
