Nine Years Later and Three States Up

Hello, 

It's been a long while since I last posted. Lots of changes since my previous update.

As my title suggests, we have moved from our little farm in Kentucky to northwest Ohio. Move in day was March 27, 2020, and yes, we moved as the pandemic set in and we were asked to shelter in place.

Unpacking began and there was plenty of time to do so. Grocery shopping looked different with click lists and pick-up and going to church meant watching a livestream service.

As the year progressed, I was able to get back into my quilting projects and even began to FaceTime with my good friend in Alabama for sew days on Friday mornings. We completed the Lori Holt "Farm Girl Vintage" quilt by sewing her 6 1/2" blocks from both her "Farm Girl Vintage Book" and Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book".

   My Farm Girl quilt at the Black Swamp Quilter's Guild Quilts and Needlearts Show in October, 2021.

I also discovered FlossTube on YouTube and down the rabbit hole I went back into cross-stitch. How fun that has been as I have met some wonderful stitchers and even started my own FlossTube - "The Just BeeCuzz Buzz", publishing my 30th video yesterday.

Some exciting news is I have found some wonderful cross-stitch treasures that I will be reproducing and sharing with this community. The first ones are almost ready for release and I hope to have them ready for you next week.  They are a pair of charming silhouettes of days gone by of horse and buggy rides and a bicycle built for two. Can't wait to share them with you!

Take care. Happy Stitching and Quilting.

Buzz for now,

Merritt
