I received a LOVELY Needleroll from Carolyn in the Make A Wish Exchange group yesterday afternoon. She stitched the Shepherd's Bush Pansy Needleroll & I just love it. Thank you so very much Carolyn, it's beautiful!! I also mailed two pieces - one to Shelleen & one to Becky. Hope they arrive safely & quickly my friends & I hope you like them. :-)
I didn't stitch on my "Happy Home SAL" last night as I was finishing up the Biscornu for Becky. I'm going to "cheat" & stitch on it tomorrow (or Sunday) as I hope to finish up a RR tonight. Wish me luck! :-) I can't wait to get back to it. We had to run a few errands today so I went by the library & picked up a book on CD. I plan to park myself in the "music room" over the weekend & stitch & listen for as long as I like (or as long as my neck/back will allow). :-) Hope it works out that way.
BTW, if you like the Just Cross Stitch Ornament magazine, the Preview issue arrived today & I LOVE the Sue Hillis ornament. It's in the "tree" in the center of the pic. You can see it here............. click! Wonder why I like it so much? It's red, a tree and to me, just adorable! ;-) Can't wait to see the full mag in a few months. I actually do stitch from them now & again even!
I also bought myself some stash this week... well, one pattern anyway....
it's by Isa Vautier and I fell in love with it! I'm not sure I'll stitch it in red (even though that's my fav color), but it's adorable - rabbits, trees, birds & birdhouses... can't top that! I'll also leave off the text at the bottom as I haven't a clue what it says! lol Cute though isn't it?
Hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with lots of stitching!!!

That Isa piece is just gorgeous, as is the red Christmas tree... too much red is barely enough!!!!

Love your new redwork, my schoolgirl french cannot help with interpreting the verse but it is just lovely. The birdhouses and bunnies are so cute.
AND I LOVE the new ornies in the new issue of JCS!! That tree is very special and the others are just fabulous. You have a lot of stitching planned for the weekend - hope your needle flies!

The French design is so nice. I'm not into animal stitching; but, this is so pretty that I might be tempted.
Carolyn stitched alovely needleroll for you - congratulations! I can't wait to receive the Just Cross Stitch preview issue and then will be anxious for the real ornament issue in September!
Beautiful needleroll
I absolutely adore that bunny design, thanks for sharing.
How pretty!! I love pansies AND needlerolls - this is a perfect combination - and it's extra special because it was a gift! :)
