40 ct. Meadow Rue by Lakeside Linen, GAST and WDW.
The last picture shows off the beautiful scissors I got for my birthday from a very special friend!! Thanks friend!! :) My husband's birthday is in January, so I put his initials and birth year and then I did our kid's initials over one. I plan to put my great-grandmother's name for February - Olive Emma Roof (isn't that a great name)? She was the most important person in my mom's life, and unfortunately she passed away while my mom was pregnant with me, so I never got to meet her, but from all the stories I've heard of her she seemed to be a very special person.
Threads for Block 2
Well, my dad and his wife are coming this weekend, so I'm not sure how much stitching I'll get done. Not sure what we have planned. I think it's going to be a quick visit because they are headed down to Florida for the winter. Write soon!!
I haven't finished January either. I have it on display here in my store along with all my other WIPs. They decorate the walls around the stitch tables. My dad's birthday was in January so I'll commemorate him with this one. Thanks for sharing your finish! There's hope for me yet! LOL
ReplyDeleteSeems like so long ago when we met at Shelley Gore's house here in Atlanta to stitch. My how life changes!
A lovely finish.
