I was so close to having another Challenge
finish last weekend.
I was stitching away on BBD's "Its Berry Time" and had sneaky feeling that I was going to run out of thread with just the alphabet left to stitch. I was using Victorian Motto's Plum so I shot off a quick email to Nancy to see if she had some more. Luckily, she was able to identify just the dye lot I needed and I got my package of threads (I couldn't order just one skein now could I?) yesterday.
Just a few hours stitching and I
finally have my finish.....
BBD "It's Berry Time"
Stitched on 35ct WDW Linen w/
Victorian Motto Plum
I really love the color of this one and will add it to the framing pile. I really need to work on a "framing plan" so I can rescue some of these finishes from seclusion. Guess I need to go buy that lottery ticket.......

We spent a few days in Charleston and Pawleys Island the first of the week. The weather was just perfect for walking and touring. I had forgotten how pretty Charleston is and the food is wonderful too. The best thing I had was the
found at the Boone Hall Farms Market.
I can not describe to you how good this was...yummy!
We headed up the road to spend a day at the beach. While at Pawley's Island, I decided to make a quick trip to the Quilter's Cottage located right up the road in Garden City.
I certainly didn't need any more fabric but decided I should come home with some type of "souvenir" and I think this filled the bill. If you are ever in the Myrtle Beach area, it is definitely worth the trip to visit.
We are home for today and will head out Thursday morning to Tennessee for a few days. Sure hope we find cooler weather too! Hopefully I can work in some stitching time during the ride.
Well...I'm off to work on my ornaments since the 25th will be here before I know it.
As always...thanks for visiting and happy stitching!
