Stitch and Stash

I am about half way done stitching What a Hoot by The Cat's Whiskers. I hope that I can have it done by the end of the week. I really need a finishing weekend soon.

I have decided on my ornament for February. I will stitch 2005 JCS Christmas Tree by Elizabeth Designs.

The Passetemps Huswif, The Song They Sang,Where My Heart Blooms, 2 small stumpwork patterns and a chart for a canvas humbug bag arrived on Friday. Now to stalk the mailman for the items from Market. So little time so much to stitch.

Needlework Weekend

I traveled to Atlanta on Thursday for my class with Ellen. Friday was my class 'Long May She Wave', a small needlebook featuring the American flag as the cover. Each stripe is a different stitch and you have the option of working a 13 star or 50 star flag. Did you know that you can make a perfect 5-pointed star with 1 snip of the scissor? Check out this link 5-pointed star.

By evening my friends had all arrived. After dinner we gathered in one room to talk and have show and tell. Soo.. many projects, soo... little time. After breakfast on Saturday we attended the second class 'A Needleworker's Sampler Huswif'. This sampler gives you the option of finishing it as a sampler to be framed or a Huswif. The colors are wonderful. Ellen is a great teacher and kept us on task, informed and entertained during class.

I enjoyed both classes, seeing my friends again, and making new friends. The weekend was over way to soon.
