X's and Ohs!


I am frantically stitching away on my latest model to get it ready in time for the Online Needlework Show! The show starts Sept.24 and runs through the 29th. Non-buyers will be able to peruse all of the new offerings but will not be able to purchase. Its a great time to see new designs and then run to your LNS (local needlework store) and ask them to order them for you! Of course I am working under the gun to get this design done! You know I took this with me on vacation in August to get a really good head start so this wouldn't happen! Ha! I spent all my time floating around the pool, so now I am paying for it! LOL!

I love hand work!!


Click on photo for a close-up!
This is a tiny little peek at a table topper I have designed, which will be a spring pattern. Yes, I am designing for spring already, while most people are getting ready for fall! But that is how it goes for designers! :)
I have decided to hand quilt this piece, as I just love the way hand quilting looks; and because I love doing handwork, and luckily I am pretty fast at it. These are my essentials for quilting: needles, scissors, thread, and my MP3 player! Also my thimble which I forgot to put in this picture. And I am set to enter my own little musical world where I can happily quilt away for hours! This is very portable and I can be found working anywhere, in the car, at the stadium, during football practices~it works for me!
