Embroidery and WIP

When Mila was three, I made this little embroidery for her for Halloween when she was debating on her costume. She wanted to be a bottle of vinegar that year...Now, I'm working on an embroidered linen piece for Bryce Eleanor and have plans for one for Max, whose second birthday is coming up in July.Remember the coasters and cloth napkins I made from scraps back in February? I finally decided to quilt the table runner I started and put aside back then. That WIP should be on the table by this afternoon. So, I'm finally getting back into the sewing/quilting/crafting mode.

Yesterday, we went to the track and met Amelia, Chris, Bryce Eleanor, and Little Chris for lunch and a day at the races. I'm not much of a racing aficianado, but I'm All For appetizers, lunch, and Mimosas.
