Hello to all my followers: I am so sorry I have not emailed thank-you's for the comments left on my last two posts, it has been crazy nuts here, we are trying to get so much done before the cold weather hitsus.
We had a Family reunion with Mikes cousins which was a blast, we are connecting with people we have missed over the years.
I was at a retreat in Madison Wisconsin, I had a table mate which I hope to continue to connect with a gain, she is from Colorado, originally from Minnesota, she was a lovely stitcher and a blast to talk too, she did such beautiful stitching.
I was able to finish stitching a needlebook but need to construct it, it is a Betsy Morgan (Wiling Hands) Design.
This is the same fabric as the needlebook, the lighting yesterday was horrible, so the yellow fabric looks brown, this is the box which has six sections, I am now working on section three.
Betsy was a delight and so much fun, she told us she is going to retire to stay home and stitch, I think she deserves to do so after all her traveling and teaching, she travels across the sea and teach's, what an amazing lady she is.
This is the pre-stitch I did before going to Madison, I still need to construct it, it is the Waxer Box, it is adorable when finished, I hope to get to it soon.
This is the complete set, which I hope to work on soon, it is really pretty in person. it is called this One's For Betty, which has a beautiful story attached to it, I would tell you but Betsy still has classes of this design and I do not want to say anything because Betsy talks about it in her class's.
I want to show you what the beautiful Pamela from japan sent me, a scissor fob it is beautiful, her work is perfect, even Betsy commented about how lovely it was. http://hokkaidokudasai.blogspot.com stop over she has been doing a temperature quilt, it is an amazing color combination.
Well its has been busy, we finally finished the railing and floor on the deck, we are enjoying it so much.
We will be doing some landscaping and planting a new tree.
I will be at retreat all next week Monday to Sunday, it is the Minnesota Needlework Guild retreat, I save up all year to go, I am a day stitcher which saves me money, I live only 14 miles from the retreat center, this gives one more person a chance to stay at the center, a room I do not need, I do not mind traveling back and forth, I still get two meals a day but save money this way.
I won two blue and one red ribbon at the County Fair, I will post photos on my next post after I pick up my items from the Fair.
Time to go shopping you al, stay safe and have a great week.
