Good News

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

I almost forgot to post this good news. Angie ( Thursday stitcher) phoned from Arizona earlier this week to report that her new grand-daughter Samantha arrived safe and sound on November 11. Mom, baby, both grandmothers , Dad and big sister Olivia are all doing fine.


Here is my finished teapot. I decided to not include the writing that was on the handle and the base. The sparser look suits me better. I expect it will become a tea cosy.
Kathy...are you looking?..here is the Queen. The backstitching is gradually allowing the pciture to have some definition. It is slow going though.
And finally my progress as of last Friday on Pretty Pumpkins. The colours in this design are fantastic!

You'll have to stop showing those pumpkins or I'll have to start kitting it and if I do that it's a start! I love it !

Boy, your progress is wonderful. Your teapot is beautiful and will make a wonderful cozy. Glad to see you are backstitching your Queen. It makes it so much more visually exciting. Your pumpkins are stunning. Have a wonderful retreat this weekend. Will miss you all. I will be there in spirit.
