There has been stitching going on at my house.
Here is the latest-
Birds of a Feather
Night Before Christmas
1998 JCS Christmas Ornament issue
I finished the 2nd one of these (on the right). I kinda like the larger ornament better. I like the pale blue background and I think it is easier to see.

This is several days work on this sampler. Just love this border! The house is going to take a few more days of work.
Yesterday was the annual Northwest Sampler Guild Tea. The theme was houses. I took DD#1 and we had a great time! Here is our table with our favor bags.
Here is what was in the favor bags-a little house with a scoop and an opening roof. And a pattern to cover the house with stitching and 1 each cotton/silk skein of thread.
Here is the example of what the little house will look like-
And the other side--
What a spread of goodies!
The tea table--
Examples of stitching done this year (many with houses)--
Some of my favorites--someone was thinking out of the box on this one below!
Another view of the inside and some smalls of Miss Hannah's House designed by Carolyn Standing Webb- lovely!!
There were two examples of the Sally Munro sampler and I loved them both!
DD#1 stitched the Love One Another below-
Here we are--
Our guest speaker was Amy Mitten. What a lovely lady and she brought examples of her own designs or reproductions for us to admire. She also taught 2 classes.
Finally, I want to invite you to visit a new blog by Kim. It is Wisdom With Needle and Thread. And she has already posted a free pattern of one of her own designs! Check her out.

Oh wow... I wish I could have seen all those Amy Mittens - gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
What fun at the tea! And all those beautiful finishes - a talented and creative bunch of stitchers. Love your finishes and progress, too - both look good to me, though I do see what you mean about the pale blue. :)
Your two Night Before Christmas finishes look great. I also like the light blue fabric. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful pics from your Sampler Guild!
Wow, looks like you all had a wonderful time! Love those Sally Munros...stunning! Your BOAF ornies are so cute. I really like it on the light blue linen too. Will need to remember that for when I get around to stitching my own. Your daughter's "Love One Another" is lovely. :)
looks like a lot of fun and thanks for the blog recommendation!
Your guild sounds like a lot of fun. To see Amy Mitten's work in person must have been amazing. I'm drooling over that last sampler! Wow. I love it. Great job on the BOAF ornaments, too--that's one of my favorites.
Thank you so much Teresa for posting all these gorgeous photos. I have really enjoyed studying them, so many i want to stitch.
It must be great fun to attend one of these events, I would love to.
I have had a look at Kim's blog and signed up to follow.
