Can't touch this!

Hi all! I am sitting in my craft room/bedroom actually FFOing my exchange piece and listening to my recorded songs on cassette tape. Hammer time! Boy, my title can't be more appropriate, right?! Just two hours after I posted last Sunday, the Renaissance festival decided to cancel the rest of their season. It's just as well as we now have a virus confirmed person living nearby in my hometown. My daughter and boyfriend live there too. I am now taking this serious. I won't drive into the neighboring town, just drive to work and back home. I did some grocery shopping last night after work and managed to find food for a week, dinner and items for lunches. I'm trying not to panic seeing all the shelves empty, and don't get me started on toilet paper!

Here's is what I'm FFOing..
That's the Hare Sampler from the Summer 2019 issue of the Primitive
Punchneedle and Stitching magazine. The backing fabric is a French
General fabric that I bought from 123stitch. I have since glued the two sides
together and have them being squished together as I'm typing. I still have a 
pincushion to put together using the same backing fabric. I will trim that bigger piece 
with a chunky chenille in brown color. I have to go find a display easel so my partner 
can display that piece above on it for Easter! Whew, I'm so glad it's all coming
together.

I finished I'm So Glad..
I just love this. Hopefully by October, thus whole Coronavirus will be behind us.
I went though my fabric stash and didn't find a fabric I like to sew to the bottom
portion. It'll be a while before I drive to Prescott where the infected person lives and 
the nearest Joanne's.

After I finished Glad, I pulled out Dear House by La D Da..

Stitching in the GAST Toffee is no problem but that blue, GAST Midnight, is 
a practice in patience! It's getting close though. Here's what it looks like finished..

I'll keep stitching on Dear House or until the blue stitching takes me down! I'll
take pictures of my FFOed exchange pieces and be back next Sunday to show them.

Vicki, I hope you were able to fix your bedroom ceiling from all that rain. Robin,
I could've given you the Tiny Cabin chart! Anyone else want it, just let me know and 
I'll send it off to you, here in the U.S. or overseas. It shouldn't cost an arm and leg going 
overseas.

I hope you all stay safe in these days of the scary and unknown. Arizona also
had it's first death from Corona last week. I haven't watched news in the 
last couple days so I'm not sure if anyone else has died. Sad times are
ahead but we have our stitching.

Take care and see you next week!
