What
a week! As many of you know, our mother lives down the street from
us. This arrangement makes it very handy when she needs us quickly.
The other night she telephoned to tell us she needed us quickly. She
had just seen a snake slither down her vent. Oh my gosh! That is a
problem we haven't dealt with. After several phone calls, we learned
exterminators who specialize in snake removal exist......so we have the
experts on the way......we'll keep you posted. We hope you have had a
less "eventful" week!
This week we want to share a couple of
fun holiday themed projects. Since "Blessings" is all embroidery, it is
a great take along project. It'll soon be time for the kids (or
grandkids) to go back to school -- what a great use of your time as
you're siting in the pick up lane at school. Your $22.95 kit includes
the pattern, fabrics for the top, borders, binding and backing fabric.
The background is a beautiful Grunge fabric by Moda -- we think it's
perfect for this piece. It finishes 20 1/2" x 24.
We'll be happy to put together a thread kit for you.
Lynette Anderson is well known for her Christmas projects. "Primitive
Christmas" includes applique, piecing and embroidery. It finishes 10" x
13".....if you do the math you'll quickly conclude those are small half
square triangles. They finish 1/2" but we have included Primitive
Gatherings' triangle papers in your kit so you'll be assured of perfect
piecing. Your $39.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top
(fabrics will vary slightly from photo), wool for the star shape,
binding and hand painted buttons.
If you'd prefer to use your
own materials, the pattern is available for $16 and the button pack
which includes the star and Santa is $13. |

If you have reptile stories to share, we'd love to hear them.....not
that we are crazy about reptiles.....but misery loves company.
We'll be back next week to share more to inspire you. See you soon!
