Lots to Share!!!

Well I have so much to share with you all. My pictures didn't get uploaded in the way I wanted so hopefully it is not to out of sorts.

First look what I won from the Online Needlework Show:


They are little mats to stitch up and finish and then you can set a votive candle on them. I did a quick peek at the instructions and they are great!! I am really going to have to check out some more of her designs.
Then I received my PIF from Averyclaire:


Isn't it beautiful!!! I am pretty lucky and I do love the colors!!!

On October 17th my EGA chapter hosted the Indiana State Day. It went so well everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.
Everyone went home with a beautiful basket. This is the one I came home with:



It was full of garden themed patterns and floss and all kind of goodies!!!!
This was our kit bag:


I am sure I did not get everything in the picture!!! In addition to our project it was chock full of other frebbies!!
This is the project designed by one of our members:




We worked on a smaller piece to go into the tin box. Then after you mastered that you have the materials to make the amulet bag. It was a great day!!!
I am still working away on the terrier. I did finish one page today!!!
Until next time,
May you be blessed with stitches,
Karol

We have eyes and nose!!!

Yes progress is being made!! The brown puppy now has his eyes and nose:


This one sure has a lot more color changes going on. So sometimes I don't feel like I am making much progress. But I guess I am.
We have been having some fall weather the trees are really pretty to me. Hope you all are having wonderful weather.
Until next time,
May you be blessed with stitches,

What I have been up to

I have been a bad bad blogger lately. It seems like I have spent most of my free time stitching on the brown boston terrier.
Here is the proof:


So I am making progress. I sure hope to get this done by Christmas. I also have two other small things that need to get done by the first part of December. Can't cross my fingers cause then I can't stitch. This past weekend we got to puppy sit for the two little terriors and they where fun!!
I hope you all are enjoying this fall weather! Personally I love the cooler weather.
Until next time,
May you be blessed with stitches,
Karol
