Well, here we are in June
preparing for one of our biggest
roller-coaster rides yet.
I wonder if you are ever ready for the ride?
How do you prepare for a ride of such magnitude?
Hmmm,,,
Hmmm,,,
I know I will sit down, hold on
and hope my stomach doesn't flip.
Thank goodness titanium is strong,
so no week knees here...
Now, on to some of the stitching of late.
Remember a ways back when I mentioned I received
a package from New England?
As I opened it up,
I pulled one of the charts out of said package
I not only fell in love with it
but thought it spoke to each and every one
of the friends I hold dear to my heart.
As I always have a few littlen's to work on
as I wait on appointments
so's not to sit with idle hands
I managed to finish off 4
and have a dozen or so more in the works.
Well, I finally took a few pictures this past weekend and here is one of the four
which were gifted out to some specials in my life.
(side note: all four pieces are the same, and for me that is a never-never in itself)
I have to tell you
that these littlen's were so much fun to stitch
and finish
and I am so looking forward
to getting at some of the others
with several different styles of finishes.

Although I did not get a shot of the back,
it is a green on green 1/8" plaid
and finished nicely as a front fold.
As for the wedding sampler,
once the mud stopped sliding,
I was able to set down to some good ole stitching
on that and at this time I only have the birds
to stitch, and they are going over one.
When it is finished I will post a picture.
Not sure about the total finished look I want
but I am sure it will be a happy choice.
Cheers to happy choices.
What a great thought, and so beautifully stitched! Those special friends are going to be mighty pleased!
ReplyDeleteI am one of the VERY HAPPY recipients of this beautiful work of art, and I just LOVE it!! (To know that you never stitch something more than once, makes it even that more special indeed!!) Thanks again Jayne!!!
