Here is Aidan and his new baby daughter Corinne Therese! 

She looks just like he did as a baby!

I can't believe my baby is a daddy! LOL!

 She is his first but my fourth grandchild. The other three belong to my oldest Chelsea and they are all girls!

And here are Chelsea's girls!

 She broke her little leg when Hideko accidentally opened the basement door!

Dear friends,

I have really been enjoying the season and had an opportunity to go apple picking with my family.

This has resulted in delicious baked apple crisp, and numerous rounds of crock pot apple pie filling, which I have canned for my Thanksgiving apple pie! Next I will make some apple butter!

I cannot turn away fresh produce, so when my girlfriend offered me close to 20 pounds of fresh pears from her tree, the boiling water bath was on!

 I canned  8  jars of pears and 7  jars of pear butter!

 I have become obsessed with decorating for fall!

Here are some snaps of my dining room:

And my porch:

Happy Fall y'all!!

XOXO,

Annie

Bittersweet

Hello friends,

 Here is my new fall pattern Bittersweet!

I stitched mine on 32 ct. natural linen from Wichelt, 2 over 2.

I used a combination of sampler cottons from Weeks, Gentle Arts and Classic Colorworks.

The stitch count is 82w X 73h.

I hope you enjoy this quick little stitch!

Available through Hoffman Distributors.

New Charts Coming Soon!

As busy as this summer has been I have still found time to stitch, stitch, stitch! 

I will have 3 new charts coming out within the next month, which is exciting!

Here is a snippet of my new chart Bittersweet:

I like to reward myself after a long day of cross stitch with some hand work of another kind. I enjoy hand applique, with cottons or wool, or

sometimes both together!

I recently binge watched Anna Bates, also known as Woolie Mammoth on Youtube. She has a channel called Quilt Roadies. She and her husband are retired and doing the RV thing, and they travel around, mostly in the Pacific Northwest and she films the insides of all of these different quilt shops! Its wonderful! I have always been a big fan of the Quilt Sampler magazine, where they feature all different shops across the nation. So this is like the video version of that!

Here is an example of one of Anna's wonderful episodes:

On one of the Quilt Roadie episodes Anna interviewed Stacy West, of Buttermilk Basin. This got me started looking at all of her designs. I bought this little banner, which is part of a series. I really enjoyed stitching it, and I used all wool out of my stash.

Its fun to work on something that you can finish in one or two nights.

So this has rekindled my love for wool applique. I have been looking at several Block of the Month kits. I really love this one, being partial to chickens:

The whole quilt is really cute. I would do the wool version.

Well, I hope you enjoy the last hazy days of summer. 

Before you know it, it will be Pumpkin Spice season!

Happy Stitching!

XOXO,

Annie
