Finished a RAK!!!!!

Stitching Friends

design by Debbie Draper Designs

freebie  pattern I have had in my "freebie pattern drawer" for a very long time!

Sending this out as a RAK this week.

I was gifted myself with the linen from amongst MANY linens from Ma Teakettle and I can't remember the name of it  or can find the label (sorry) but I think it's 32 count antique ivory

I used almost entire skein of Crescent Colors Belle Soie silk in Blue Lagoon which was ALSO gifted awhile back from Jennifer at Confessions of a Serial Starter so I put these gifts to me together to send out this week as a RAK. Gifts that keep giving!  ;)

I wish I could stitch many many of them to all. It's a very cute design and I need to go through my freebie folder more often!

I plan to put buttons on the top corners with ribbon to hang which will not take long.

The backing fabbie I had from a fat quarter in my fabric cabinet.

Well, better get busy on finishing Pepsi's sampler and then picking out which ones to take on my trip next week. Oh yeah, and laundry.......I completely forgot about that today. LOL

It's about to storm big here as I hear thunder and see lightening in a distance getting closer. Abbie is absolutely having a panic attack by me right now so

till later,

Jennifer

Saturday stitching

Miss Abigail today

She is a bit tired after a night of strong storms through our area.

She is about to go to sleep warming the chair for Body Guard while he is fixing my sewing machine which is now in the OR. Something is just not right with it and hopefully he will fix it because I finished the Stitching Friends sampler and I had it pinned to sew into a pillowkeep and it made a grinding sound loudly and bunched a lot of thread together.

Don't let those eyes fool ya. She just finished eating some Chicken Pasta Alfredo, including broccoli and is very content to watch the excitement of a  happy dance of a sampler finish to me holding my breath the sewing machine gets fixed.......please, please, please.......

and as we speak, the machine is fixed by hubbie. YEAH!!!!

Pics will follow later.

I'll be back soon.

A big THANK YOU and the stork

I SOOOO thank you all who commented on the last post, I will print this out and navigate through the map to see where we will be going through. Thank you again so much!!!!!

Last week at the quilt shop in Dahlonega Georgia, I saw these black and cream stork scissors and got 2 pair. Yep, 2 pair. I will probably save one for a giveaway in a few weeks. I think they are cute.

yep, they found a home in one of my stitching boxes.

I have no idea what the brand is as I eagerly took it off and they are sharp little things too.

Tonight we had a great dinner at the Chinese restaurant and got these fortunes.

Body guards:

And mine is here:

Oh how I laughed thinking of all the goodie stash builders that I'm planning to "invest" in...LOL

Interesting indeed for this week coming up!  We both had a good laugh.

Progress on this one tonight. A Debbie Draper freebie design I had in my stash for awhile.

Using CC Belle Soie silk

and 32 ct luscious linen (of which I didn't have labeled) but is a creamy color.

The fabric in the corner will back this piece.

And Pepsi, Abbie's cousin that passed away, his piece is almost done and will be made into a pillowkeep.

Much to get done this weekend, for sure.

Till later,

Jennifer
