August Already

July went by like a whirl!  But I did get caught up on the Round Robin samplers I had.  I finished the final two samplers in my round of the Northwest Sampler Guild.  Now I am expecting 3 more samplers from the EGA Round Robin, but one lady is moving and at least 1 sampler (not mine) got packed!  So not sure when I'll see that one.

 

Here is what else has been happening-

 

New Start-Laura Perin Red White & Blue Panel

I'm stitching it upside down right now :)

 

 

 Finish #1-With Thy Needle & Thread Stars & Stripes

 

 

Finish #2 Just Nan Hop 

 

 

Finish #3 Jeannette Douglas Bird Box.  The finished mini biscornu is in the box-top left.  The mini pincushions are at the bottom.

 

New Stash-Gorgeous sturdy Thread Catcher from Curry Bungalow on Etsy

 

Back from the Finisher-Gay Ann Rogers Samples

I included a photo of the back so you could see the little stand that my finisher uses.

Now it is time for At Willow Tree Pond's Believe It or Not--

 

Do you like my Nancy Cucci Amazing Greys?  I didn't list it as a finish, because it isn't. 

One recent night I was busy listing consignment items on ebay, got distracted and started surfing around.  I saw a listing with no picture and the description said "GREY GEOMETRIC BOXES"  And Nancy Cucci immediately came to mind and I clicked on the auction.  There was a photo on the auction page and yes, it was exactly what I thought--but not the kit.  It was the finished project! And it was ---Buy It Now for $42!!  My hand was shaking.  I am not kidding!

Not only was it a finished Amazing Greys, but when I got it , the stitching is beautifully done. Laid properly, just wonderful! The seller definitely didn't know what she/he had.  Do you think the stitcher passed away?  I mean, what else would allow such a thing to happen???

 

Now, who else has a bizarre story about ebay (or anywhere else for that matter)?
