This is a brick cover created by Kelsey’s Needle Krafts. Sue was nice enough to send me a photo after she told me about it on the phone!

The bad news is I’ve been sick with  a bad cold/sinus thingy. The good news is I did a lot of stitching over the weekend because I didn’t have the energy to do anything else. My colorful piece is coming along nicely although I wish I knew what I’m going to call it! Here’s a little more…

Robin asked, “After you’ve drawn the line in the groove, is your first thread to the right, say, No. 1, and the last thread, No. 36, adjacent to the groove? This would mean, I believe, that the holes in the groove are shared by two squares. Do I have that right?” Yes, Robin is correct.…

to feel a little like Christmas! I wasn’t planning to put up my tree this year but this basket of ornaments got me in the mood this morning. These are the ornaments I brought home from the shop and I think I have to put up the tree so I can look at them all month…

It’s official – I turned in the keys to my shop today and am now a full time designer! What a job it is to close a shop – I’m very happy it’s done and I can take a bit of a break. Since I have not been stitching much, here’s a photo of my…
