May has been a lucky month!
One of my favorite blogs is
(Homespun Elegance)
and she was celebrating her 500 followers
with a great giveaway and sale! Lucky me won
her giveaway and look at the goodies I got....
I have a large collection of Homespun Elegance
but was delighted that I had none of these!
Sandra also included these goodies.
The little sheep is just precious.
As soon as I saw the bookmark design, I
immediately recognized it. I have had the
Sheltering Tree in the my basket for a very
long time. I think this is a sign that it is time
stitch it! If you haven't checked
Homespun Elegance's blog, please do...
she always has some great offerings.

Evidenced by the abundance of HE designs
I own, Sandra has always been one of my
favorite designers. The "colonial" feel to her
designs is timeless. To extend the celebration
on her blog, she offered a very generous sale
on her designs so I seized the opportunity
to add to my collection.
Land of Peace & Plenty
This has to be one of all time favorites.
Originally published in 1990, Sandra decided to
reprint some of her OOP designs and this one
is now available. This one is timeless to me and
I can't wait to get it stitched. I think it has also
helped me decide on the fabric choice for
Plum Street's Colonial Garden.
You will just have to wait and see!

I have been busy stitching so I will be
back soon with some finishes.
Hope you have a great stitchy day....
