Here we are, at ABC Stitch Therapy in Grantham, NH! From left to right: me, Barb, Patti (it so happens she was actually born the same year as I, so we share not only the same birthday, but the same birth date as well! It seems I may be about two hours older, but Patti will check her birth certificate about that!) and Sara, Barb's lovely friend who has been helping Barb to really enjoy her stay in Maine this week! We all had a wonderful time just running rampant all over the shop! For a while, Barb and I just pretty much camped out on the floor going through all the stunning hand-dyed fabrics! It is no surprise to anyone that I bought three of them! The stash shopping was wonderful, lunch across the street (My DH, Mike, was there too) at the Country Club was delicious, and being with friends was the best part! We all did a good job of spending today too! (I will share my stash tomorrow).
I don't have a lot, but I do have some, stitching to share today! I am just about to go get dressed now to go out with Mike on some surprise birthday adventure for the evening, so my stitching is likely over for the night. But I did stitch a little bit on Blessings Be Thine in the car this morning... and I have not yet shared this piece anyhow, so here it is... I am stitching it with the called for fibers on Sugar Maple Fabric's Acorns & Chestnuts belfast linen... a fun stitch!
Now, I would very much like to claim this Romantic Stitcher as my own, but it is not - this is a model at ABC Stitch Therapy - I took the photo for Sue to see, as I know she is looking for fabric for this piece, and the one she chose looks much like this - good choice Sue!!! Sorry about the weird pic, it was hung quite high up and there was a sofa in the way, so this is how it came out - LOL!
OK, Blogger doesn't want to upload a daylily pic for today... sorry!!
I just got in another load of birthday gifties from you, my friends! Thank you!! I will open and share tomorrow! I forgot to open Barb's while with her today! I am so sorry Barb, we got so caught up!!! Patti gave me a GC to ABC Stitch Therapy - how sweet was that?? (I gave her one back - that was funny watching Marie cash us out with our matching GC's)!!
Stitched on today: Blessings Be Thine

What a great pic seeing you all on there, you really sound like you have had a great day together.

Love the new look...familiar is comforting :) I chose it because the tree looked lonely, like it needed a hug! Your reason suits you as well!
I do enjoy reading your posts, I hope you have a great weekend!
