My whole purpose in going was to get the fabric to start Flower Power.. FINALLY! Course they didn't have a piece big enough, I need a 32 ct piece that is 42 by 28! It's gonna be huge! I did get some fabric and thread I need for a pattern "Our House Rules" that my friend Sandy sent me. Course the idea of new fabric and new thread and new pattern sitting there all ready, made me want to start it! I got quite a bit done while I was watching the Olympics! Here's what I've done this evening. I think I was a little anxious to get a picture taken, cause it sure is fuzzy! Click on it for a better picture! :)
I did get my 989 too! Yeah! The pattern is actually kind of boring, just 14 ct aida, and not my normal style! But I really like it for some reason! Don't let it fool you, there are TONS of stithes in there! Here's where the project was last time I posted...
And here it is after this week mainly. I think I picked it up twice during our time we were gone.
I also started and finished my Fair and Square exchange this week. It's due Aug 11th, so it's not like I'm a procrastinator or anything! I used parts of the LHN Schoolgirl Lessons pattern. I couldn't decide between two threads. The tanish one is by Ozark Sampler and I used that for the squares. The other is a Dinky Dyed thread, I think it's called Christmas something or other! But I loved the colors on that one! So I made the little fob to go along with it!
Here's the front and back of the fob put together. I even used the leftover thread to make my own braid! Love that little thingy that makes the cording!
I'm calling it quits early tonight! Last night I was up until 3:30am, and had a conversaton with Luke around 4:15. But surely I fell asleep those 45 minutes, right? Anyway.. can't do that again! I need some sleep!

Good morning Sara! My do you stitch fast!!!!
Great works by the way!
My friend did Flower Power a few years ago, and every time I saw her she'd show me her progress, that is just such a fantastic piece!
Anyway, have a great day!

Your recent stitching looks great!!!
Wow, you're rocking and rolling!! How's the LNS in Raleigh?? Did you go to the one on Capitol or the one off Duraleigh Rd??
Since I just ride along, I don't really look at things like road signs! But I'm almost sure it was the one on Capitol Blvd. It was the Laizy Daisy.
I love your barn peice. It looks great. As does all your stitching. U are either a quick stitcher or have a lot of free time on your hands. Could I have some of that free time? plz? LOL
And I would love to get my hands on flower power. I've been tempted twice to order it, but just can't bring my self to do it. I have way to much to stitch now and I'm trying to be good and not buy antying else. But...i'm tempted again to buy it.....
