I’m planning on finishing this as a pillow and did start out thinking that I’d just stitch the crows and the alphabet and leave it at that. Now that I’ve reached that part I’ve changed my mind and plan on stitching the border of satin stitched triangles.
I’m still on track with stitching the little monthly pillows from A Primitive Calendar by Nikyscreations. So here is the one for September.
Stitched on 32ct Belfast Vintage Country Mocha using suggested DMC
Wouldn’t you love to waken up to this view every morning?
And what looks out on this view?
A quilt shop! Imagine having your very own quilt shop in your very own garden. That is exactly what this is, found down a country lane with farms and fields all around.
Recently the shop celebrated its 5th birthday so some friends and I took a bit of a road trip to join in the birthday celebrations. I was pretty good in restraining my spending, picked up some fabric that I think could work as the backing for the PS 12 Days of Christmas blocks, another piece of fabric that caught my eye and some lace trim. After that it was into the adjoining workshop for tea, coffee and home baked goodies! There were lots of lovely quilts on display that had been worked on in classes and workshops through the year.
So, having started with some crow love let me leave you with a little bit of quilt love with this ……
this ....
and this ....
Until next time …..

Beautiful pictures.
Crows seem to be quite popular with stitchers lately. Yours are looking great. And the little folk are just too cute.
What a great place for a day trip! Gorgeous quilts!
love the crows and the quilt shop
I love your crows, Lois! What a great piece. Your pillows--love love love love. Oh my gosh, they are fantastic. Oh, how I envy your ability to stick with a stitching plan! ;) Great pics of the quilt shop, too--what a neat find!
Your crows are wonderful! And those Niky's pillows -- they're just wonderful! Love the Josh and Caleb one. (Is that who I mean?) The quilt shop looks fantastic too!
You know how much I love stitching crows, Lois and this piece is adorable--great fabric as well! And your little calendar pillows are so sweet...I'll bet stitching them each month is really something to look forward to.
Looks like a wonderful road trip with your friends--beautiful scenery and oh, those luscious looking quilts! Hope you're enjoying some lovely Autumn weather :)
I'm liking the crows ;)
I Can't wait to see the finish !!
Lovely crows and finish. Great quilt shop.
Great stitching, your pincushion set looks lovely. Nice quilt shop too!
Gah! Love it! Great going on 3 crows and the Quilts are fab.
I am gearing up to make my first full-size quilt; the big fabric for the largest part has been lying on my drafting table for days! I just need to make some templates and buy a tool. Hah! I so need better time mgt. And daylight hours. But I'd better quit stalling because those are definitely on the wane!
ooooo lovely stitching and those quilts are gorgeous :) thanks for sharing :) love mouse xxx

Looking forward to seeing your crow finish and pillow and I love the Primitive Calendar pillows. That would be a pretty view to see every day. Love all those beautiful quilts!
Love your sweet "crows" piece, and the cute little primitive pillows too.
It looks like you had a wonderful time at the quilt shop, seeing so many very special quilts too. What a lovely, peaceful countyside. One can only imagine the tranquility there.
Love your GH crows! And I'm glad you decided to stitch the satin stitch border - it will look great.
Thank you for sharing pictures of the countryside and quilt shop!
Gorgeous quilts and scenery and sweet little pin cushion!!! I think the crows need the border :-).
Three Crows looks great Lois, that linen is a lovely choice for it :)
Congratulations on finishing part 1 of the LF piece too, yours looks wonderful! I'm nearly done with the main part of the pic and hope to make a bit more progress today. Looking forward to seeing the next part!
