I'm Back . . . . .

I'm Back . . . . .

and what a fine time I had.  

Everyone was so welcoming.  When I closed

my shoppe about five years ago, the thing I

missed the most was getting to talk with

like-minded people.  In other words, people

who love stitching as much as I do.

Well, all of you fine folks helped fill that void

for me this weekend.

Also, it was wonderful to see some of my

old friends that I haven't seen in such

a long time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

First of all I want to share some pictures

I took of a beautiful shoppe~

DYEING TO STITCH.

If you haven't been there, then it is

a must. If you love samplers and prim

stitching, you will be in heaven.  Just a

wealth of stitched models.  I just 

couldn't take it all in.
Here are some pictures for your
enjoyment~

My samplers, some original, some reproductions~

Wall of fibers~heaven! 

Rack after rack of designs~

That is Ann behind the counter~

Lovely customers~

and there is Pat in front of the window

Thank you Ann and Pat for such a special

day.  A special thank you to Pat for her help trying 

to teach me about Ebay and a bunch of

other internet stuff.  She really knows her

way around a smart phone. She was dealing

with a real novice or should I say "idiot".  HaHa

I have been asked to teach a class at 

DYEING TO STITCH sometime after

the Nashville market.  What fun that will be.

Thank you Ann and Pat.   Also, I want to

thank the wonderful ladies who helped me

pack and take my stuff to my car.  I am so 

grateful for you.  It was really hot, so not

any fun at all.

BIG NEWS

I am so excited to announce that there

will be a new fabric named for me~

"CLASSIC HOMESPUN".  

I love it and I think

you will to.  Cannot wait to get my hands on it.

TIDEWATER SAMPLER GUILD

Trunk Show and Class

I was a nervous wreck, but I managed to get

through it.  I hope everyone enjoyed the

project.  Almost everyone finished their

SEWING STAND.  

That made me so happy.  I tried really hard to 

time it so it could be 

finished in the 2 1/2 hour class.

Class Project~my SEWING STAND

Me and a wonderful helper, my daughter, Hollis~

Couldn't have done everything without her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was so nice to make some new stitching friends and

 so much fun to see Ann Steinbeck, someone

I have known for many years.

Everyone was so nice to me.  Thank you all for

welcoming me and then helping me pack up and

lug everything to my car.  What a great help

that was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

And what a way to end each evening!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you enjoyed my Show and Tell!

Wish you could have all been there~

"Many Happy Stitches",
