Hey,
Friends!
Last week I was
looking at Karen’s Handiwork, and she said
“I am off now to attempt my first mattress pincushion finish…” I commented that I couldn’t wait to see her
results. I thought it was kind of funny
when I didn’t hear back from her when I asked, “Who’s on the mattresses?” I had been watching You’ve Got Mail (for the 20th time). Just thought, she really is off to work on
it. Well, I could not believe it when I
opened mail to find this wonderful mattress pincushion in person! It is my favorite design from PS, Friends.
Karen’s stitching is exquisite, and the seam-work where it's put
together is so lovely, too. There are even hand-made pins that are just
perfect! It may take a while before I can put it to its intended use --
it'll be a work of art to admire for a while. The hand-made card is cute
as can be, too. Karen, everything is beautiful, and I thank you so much, my
friend. 
I
have really been spoiled in January!
Jackie, Faye, Kathy, Karen-AZ, and Karen-SC. Thank you all for starting 2013 by making me
feel so special! Stitching friends are
absolutely THE best!
Mary
Gibson got a couple of extra hours this week.
I woke at 3:30 am and was hot, tossing and turning, so I got up and
stitched until time to get ready for work.
Of course by then I didn't want to go… but I did. I have high hopes for Superbowl Sunday
stitching. I must be the slowest
stitcher ever, but page six is almost done.
Since
February is
Thanks for
stopping by, today and always. I
appreciate your thoughts and comments!
May 2013 be
filled with Happy Stitching!
Peace♥Love♥Joy

ReplyDeleteLove your gifty from Karen - she is so nice and her stitching is fantastic!! What a clever idea to drill a hole. What kind of drill was is and where did you get it?? I have seen so many things I would love to attach to projects but have passed on because they had no holes. I am getting all excited - LOL!!
