Christmas Blessings Abound

I just spent an awesome week in Spring Green, Wisconsin at the Country Sampler (Boxwood & Berries) .  We stitched, hooked and ate.....it was great.  I met lots of great people and enjoyed every minute of my time there.  I will try and post some pictures when I get them downloaded. 

Since I was out of town, I had a little down time in the evenings so I was able to do a little charting.  Here is Christmas Blessings Abound.  I couldn't decide the name so I picked Patti's suggestion since she was the first to respond.  Loved them all...thanks so much.  Anyway this pattern is now available and you can e-mail me if you are interested.   Happy Stitching  Linda

Looking for a Name????

Anybody have any good ideas on what to name this pattern?  It's hard to be in Christmas mode when its 80 degrees out.....

Tavern House

It's all appliqued....and ready for the backing.  I have been working on this as a block a month class project since May.  I only have the backing left to do......love it..  "The Tavern House" by Maggie Bonanomi.   Linda

Month Ahead of Time

Does it ever seem like the project you are working on is for the season that just got over.  Well this time I actually am one month ahead of schedule.  This is my No. 10 Pumpkin Lane rug, by Janice Johnson, Wooley Woolen Rugs.  I took a class for this rug back in May and just finished it this week.  I hope to buy my carpet tape this week so I can get it hung on the wall and make the house feel like fall.    Linda

Nellie Sturr - New Pattern

Here is a small sampler that I've been working on (7 1/4 x 9 1/4). Only uses three colors of floss.  I'm trying out a new charting software and so far am very pleased with how it works (thanks Primitive Betty for your recommendation).  This pattern can be found under my Patterns tab!  Enjoy  Linda

Prim Sisters Club

Wanted to show all of you my August project for the Prim Sisters Club offered by The Country Sampler www.sgcountrysampler.com   If you are not a member you can join anytime.  This is a quick stitch pinkeep with a great muted/old looking backing fabric designed by Jeanne Horton of the Country Sampler.   Hope you enjoy!    Linda

Mary Ann Danniels - 1865

Well here it is, the sampler I've been working on for the last two months......that last row never seems to come.  The first picture is the original sampler and the other pictures are my reproduction.  My favorite part is the dull thread colors and the band of birds in the middle .....how sweet is that......their own little parade.  It is a larger sampler and measures 12 1/2 x 17 framed....I stitched on 28 count linen...  The pattern is for sale on my pattern page.  Linda
