Stitching and Stash Update

 
L'Atelier Perdu
Patches of Life Sampler
Part 2 is finally finished!  I changed the large motif in the center.  It had 2 girls, 2 small boys, and 2 flowers in it.  I was able to put my 3 DD's in the center and the 2 grandkids on either side of their mothers.



 Some new stash enhancement :)



More new stash enhancement-
On the left is the first installment of the new Prim Sisters Club hosted by Dyeing to Stitch.
Threadwork Primitives and Blackbird Designs are the two designers for 2013 in this club. I like the fact that it is a complete kit and not just the pattern.

 
Success!!-I was able to purchase Barbara Jackson's Tea Time Basket from someone who was not planning to finish it.  We are both happy campers!  And an extra, unexpected bonus-a needlebook designed by Barbara for this project that was not sold thru Shining Needle Society.
 
Don't forget that I am still looking for Merry Cox's Swan Lake, Sherri Jones of Patricks Woods Spotted Hare Needle Purse and Carolyn Standing Webb's Miss Hannah's House.
 
 

I won a giveaway over at LaDonna's Black Branch NeedleworksIt has been a long time since I won a giveaway. And what a wonderful bunch of stitchy items! Thank you so very much, LaDonna!
 
Now really important news--


Happy 1st Birthday, dear little Amber!
Where did this year go?
She is walking and talking (only "hot" and "hi" are recognizable so far) and making her desires known very clearly.  What a blessing to our family!

  13. Happy birthday sweet Amber. Our own loves seem to speed up when we have children of our own and my mother tells me that they go into turbo drive when we have grandchildren.

    What a lovely idea to change your sampler to include your daughters and grandchildren, it makes it all the more special.
