It's Saturday and again, filled with chores and activities to be done. I'm hoping the sun comes out soon to get some good pics today and/or tomorrow of the Fall splendor of colors.
I thought you might like a quick small to stitch up for your Thanksgiving decor or really at any time, as we all are thankful for what we do have and the generosity of our God.

DMC 3750 antique blue
28 ct Antique Autumn Gold linen
 
 
 
 
This piece was a fun finish!
 
 
 
I completely frogged this one above and stitched the motif again as the count was off.
 
 
 
 
I picked up a fat quarter of Confederate fabric, calico at the quilt store. The DMC color matches the dark navy perfectly.
 
 
 
and made into a simple cupboard primitive piece, in fact the first for the old Hoosier cabinet refinished this Summer
 
 
 
 
I pulled out one of my own designs that needs a little bit of finishing and another band or two.
 
Forever Hope
 
I am going to add these buttons when finished to accent.
As October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, I thought it best to try to finish designing and stitching a model. I already had the rustic black frame for the past 2 years, so I"m eager to finish this one.
 
 
 
More pics to come as I work on this one again.
 
The colors blend several purple shades, as well as gold shades.
 
This design has a special place in my heart.
 
The pattern will be for sale when completed. More to come!
 
Well, time for bed now to get some sleep and get readied for another day in these mountains.
I hope to get some really good Fall photos this weekend if the weather permits.
 
Till later,
Jennifer

A Ray of Sunshine

 
Miss Little Ray of Sunshine
 
 
 
On this beautiful, Fall crisp day.
 
 
Here's hoping that whatever path you take in life
 
 
 
Home or away
 
 
brings a bit of God's beauty to touch your heart
 
 
Long enough to stay
 
 
Savor in the sunny spot, and there's always one somewhere.
 

For it's in the darkest times in contrast, that we can appreciate the light.
 
Hoping your Sunday is spent with the ones you love, some cool, crisp, sunny air and doing something restful and creative to share.
 
God bless each of you.
 
I'm off to find some adventure with Mr. Darcy. It's a Darcy kind of day. :)
