Generosity

I thought a few weeks ago that there were no depths that people could sink to, when I found that some of my models had been stolen.
Since then I am realizing that there are no heights that people cannot attain in terms of kindness and generosity...and this is a much better way of looking at the world.
You were all so incredibly supportive and that was so uplifting.
I told you about Marie Paule decorating my shop...because she is a good friend , and she loves doing stuff like that and she knows I am hopeless at it.
Here is another friend who has given me some wonderful gifts.

Melinda Medeiros of Medeiros Needlecraft Designs Has reluctantly decided that she will no longer be designing for her own cross stitch business. She is going to concentrate on free lance designing for magazines and other publishers.
She sent me these fantastic models that she stitched herself.
She knew I was intrigued by the blocks so sent all these priceless models to me as a gift. I am so overwhelmed and humbled and touched by this generous act. She also sent some patterns and charts. I phoned her to thank her and started blubbering on the phone. It is just as well I had to leave a message. I likely would have been bawling if I have spoken with her.

And a sweet needle book, ornament and altoids tin.
I feel very blessed.

Medeiros Designs

June 21, 2007

I e-mailed Melinda Medeiros yesterday about ordering some stuff and in the course of our e-mail conversation discovered that Melinda is now blogging also. Here is a link http://www.onceuponathread.blogspot.com/

You may find it interesting to read about stitching from a designers point of view.
Below is one of Melinda's designs and you may remember that she is also the designer of the alphabet blocks that I showed on a previous blog in May.

Today is Thursday Stitchers Day so I should be able to take a few progress pictures. Molly has not progressed much since my last picture but perhaps some of the other stitchers will have something to show off. I know Barb has just picked up her Hummingbird Flowers from the framer so you can be sure I will be featuring it soon. (It is a Kustom Kraft design of a hummingbird with the most velvety dark red hollyhocks you have ever seen)
David's stocking is also sitting waiting for something to happen. The leg portion needs something but I can't figure out what...my latest idea is to applique at least one patch/crest /whatever it may be called, that has the race car club logo on it. Fortunately I have until Christmas to come up with a solution!
