catching up

i had a lot of catching up to do today. last week, the hubs and i went camping for a few days, and i was without my sewing machine. lame! but i managed to do some embroidery on the beach. i just can't take a vacation from my crafts!

so today i completed blocks four and five of the skill builder sampler. i love my pinwheel block. i decided to do a dark background fabric rather than the norm of white/light. the pinwheels really pop out.

maybe i'm in a dark sort of mood today because i seemed to pick darker fabrics for my Arizona block too. i still really like it though.

well, i'm glad i'm caught up with this one. now i just have to complete everything else on my to-do list...
