Catching up: April.....

I hope I'm not boring you with all

of the posts but it has

been fun to reminisce about

what I have been up to the last

few months.

Fifty Shades of Gray....

this took on a whole new meaning in April

as I celebrated my 50th birthday.

I tried to celebrate quietly but my

family and co-workers had other plans. 

I am just glad I was here to celebrate with them.

While browsing through my Blackbird Designs,

I saw this one and had to instantly

start it.  There is just something about

it I love so start I did.

Blackbird Designs "Button Box"

from In Friendship's Way booklet

stitched on  hand-dyed 40ct Buttercream from DixieSamplar

with Victorian Motto threads

I love the yellow tones to this piece and

do plan to finish as sewing box.....one day.

I had to travel to Denver for a conference

and decided to take something small for the plane trip.  

The Prim Society's retreat kit from

Summer House Stitche Workes was perfect.

Summer House Stitche Workes "Prim Tapestry"

PSS 2016 Retreat kit

I was a little unsure about the rusty star

included ...looked a little big.  Obviously

Beth knows what she is doing

because it was just the right touch.

And yes there was another

Prairie Schooler alphabet finish....

Prairie Schooler "S*R*T"

stitched on 40ct Lakeside Linen with recommended DMC

I loved this block especially the

measuring tape border detail.

That's it from my little stitchy

corner of the universe.
Not too many more and I will
be officially caught up.

Happy stitching....
