He is full of threads from Fairies in the Garden, my Sampler de Bouquet and the latest Mirabilia round robin.
Last weekend, I attended the annual open house at Knowledge and Needles. Dani and Christin stayed with me for the weekend and we stitched a lot!!!
Instead of those pictures of us stitching, I thought I would share some of the wonderful stitches that were displayed. Warning: lots of photos
I am struggling to stitch again. I took 3 days last week and painted my kitchen - ceiling, walls and all the trim.
My left elbow is sore again. I have been stitching with it propped up. That helps some but I have to stop and rest the arm every once in a while. I am not happy about that!
Until next time - may all your stitches stay crossed and all the frogs stay lost.

WOWSERS!! What a lot of beautiful stitching. I am going to have to go back and study each picture to really "see" the pieces. I love the bag you sent Michele - it was perfect!!
I can't wait to see the Garden Fairy finish!
Oh! A belated happy birthday to you!! 59 is YOUNG - 60 isn't bad either - Don't worry!
Never ever apologise for putting lots of pictures in a post! The TW Snow Queen is one of the first designs I saw that I loved, my friend bought it with the intention of stitching it and passing it on, sadly neither happened!
Sure hope your elbow stops hurting soon. Wow! What a treat to see all that stitching in person, lots of pretty stuff there. Oh, your WIP is going to be sooooo pretty, can't wait to see the big finish
Oh golly Kathy, I saw some of these beautiful things on Ann's blog...but you got some shots of some others that are stunning! WOW!
And you are SO CLOSE on Fairies in the Garden :) It is so pretty!!!
My little eyes spy lots of wonderful things, and oh to see them up close.
I hope your elbow gets better now rather then soon
OMG!!! Fairies is SO close!!
Can't wait to see it in person this weekend!!
Wow! What a collection! Great to see, thanks for sharing.
Happy stitching & hugs, Carolien
That's a TON of gorgeous stitching! It sounds like you had a lovely time at the open house. I hope the RR stitching goes smoothly and that your elbow calms down.
There is an incredible amount of stitching talent displayed on those walls! Next year I hope to add some of mine.
No more stitching or working from now until Friday! You have to keep that arm rested so you can stitch along with us this weekend.
Easier said than done, right?
Sorry to hear about your elbow giving you problems again. I hope that it is on the mend and your can stitch pain free very soon.
Thanks for sharing all the wonderful photos of all the stitching. Such beautiful pieces.
OK..I have to ask..what does TUSAL mean?? I understand orts are leftover threads. Why do you and others put them in a jar or container? I am so out of the loop :O)
What gorgeous stitching!
You are so close to finishing that fairy piece. That is on my to-do list, and I love your progress on it.
Nice, inspiring photos, Kathy! Hope you elbow heals soon so you can stitch with abandon. I LOVE those fairies!
Great exhibition and progresses on your stitching! Go easy on that elbow and give him some rest... Get well soon!
I guess painting and stitching don't mix well, Kathy--hope your elbow feels better very soon.
Loved seeing the photos of all that stitchy goodness in one place--just gorgeous!! How nice to have Dani and Christin as houseguests, too...
Enjoy your weekend--we're headed up to Lake Ontario so I'll wave to you across the lake :)
Beautiful work by everyone! Fairies is soooo close! It would drive me nuts to put it down at that stage! I hope your arm is feeling better soon. Take it easy!
oh your fairies are so nearly finished - looking foward to seeing your happy dance!
What a lot of gorgeous stitching! There is so much talent represented there. And Fairies is looking beautiful. You're almost there. So Sorry to hear about your elbow. Maybe a day or two of rest would help.
It was a great weekend!!!
Wow, what awesome eye candy! I bet you gals had a ball.
All that stitching makes you want to stitch even more...lol. I hope your elbow feels better very soon so you can stitch even more.
Hugs from Holland ~
