I am a wee bit behind in my posting, but want to thank all of you very dear friends, who sent me so many wonderful birthday wishes. Last week, my sweet friend, Cucki, from South Africa, sent me a lovely package of of wonderful goodies! I feel so blessed.
Look at these beautiful scissors!
Now for a little more stitching progress on Quaker Christmas II. Stitch by stitch, I am happy to say that there was no 'frogging' this week! Yea!
It was a bit tricky, trying to find a smooth 'stitchy journey' for these two motifs, but I love the way they look, especially the woven looking triangle in the middle.
Isn't this motif a beauty? I love it!
Last week, the 'bug' hit me to go through all of my stitching albums and sort everything, and put the patterns that I don't need anymore into bags to donate. I think that my stitchy blog friend, Carol, inspired me, after I saw how she beautifully organized her stitching stash.
We bought this cabinet when we moved into our condo, to put near by sewing machine in our family room, so that I could have my stitching books nearby.
We live in a condo, with not a lot of storage space. This is my little corner in our tiny furnace room, packed with boxes of threads, ribbons, etc. I keep sorting and reorganizing, but my stash just seems to keep growing! You know how that goes:) Tee-hee-hee:)
It is always wonderful sharing with all of you here, and I count myself as very blessed that we have all become connected to one another, through the threads of friendship of our love of stitching.
May you be blessed every day!
Lovely post , lovely gift from cucki , Great stitching and it is always nice to see how we all keep our sewing bits tidy.

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy Ellen! Your stitching is beautiful! I am tempted to get that to stitch. ; 0) We are having a similar day as you are. We have moved to northern Delaware from Southern Arizona so it's been a hard few weeks. ; 0) I am watching it drizzle right now. I hope you have a blessed weekend.

Lovely gift from Cucki. Great progress on Quaker Christmas, it's looking gorgeous
ReplyDeleteRainy days are right after my taste - perfect days for stitching and reading. And your WIP lokks really great. Quakers are always a pleasure to stitch because each motif is different and you can go from motif to motif and see your progress easily.
ReplyDeleteGreat how you managed to organize your stash. Looks very neat.
Enjoy your beautiful goodies from Cucki.
Oh Happy Belated Birthday Kathy!! So sorry to have missed it but I was on vacation. The gifts from Cucki are so lovely!! So sweet of her. Love your progress on your Quaker Christmas and your stash is so nicely organized. It always feels good to get things in order...allows the creative energy to flow!
