He is full of threads from 3 round robins, my Chatelaine, my etui, and my new start.
Doesn't he look like he's saying "Lady - give me a break! You keep stuffing me til I want to burst!!!"
My birthday has lasted all week long. I received several beautiful cards in the mail. At stitching on Thursday, I received this gorgeous piece of fabric and skein of thread from Ann
From Judie this wonderful lighthouse pattern and a gift certificate to Knowledge and Needles.
With my two earlier gift certificates, I bought these scrumptious fabrics!
I have two more RR's to show you.
The first one is Sophia's Band Sampler RR. I forgot to take photos when I stitched this one. Cat has kindly sent me photos of my work.
I will show the RR when it arrived and after I stitched on it. I find Celtic knots quite challenging but so beautiful when done!
Next is the latest Band Sampler. Joanne has let us choose our bands but asked that we use DMC 333 as our main color. What fun I had doing this. Her fabric is from Sparklies and is the most gorgeous purple called Purpleberry Sludge. I chose bands from Just Nan's Parlor Ribbons.
And I have a new start! The is Prairie Moon's - Merry Xmas on PTP Haunted. Isn't this just so cute!
And for Barb - I stitched Sister Stitcher on cream evenweave and finished it the same as Beatrice's.
That's it for this week. I have this crazy skeleton calling my name from my stitching bag and I need to answer.
Let's home that all our future frogs are nothing but a bag of bones.

My son would love the Halloween piece. It's adorable!
I just love stitching on hand dyed fabrics especially in colours other than brown :} Prairie Moon looks like a fun stitch as well.

My goodness! What a wonderful birthday you've had! Isn't it great when they last for a week? I try to stretch mine for as long as I can get away with it! LOL
Love all the things you're stitching on. Beautiful colors.
You have a great week girlfriend.
You've kept that needle busy! I love the samplers, especially the purple one. That lighthouse pattern is very nice although I can't stitch on dark fabric. It makes me crazy.
