A Leaf

This was a project for our EGA Chapter, Needle's Nest.  I think I will stitch another leaf but reverse it so I can attach them back to back before attaching it to the cookie cutter......

August Progress and September Goals

August could have been better, this pandemic is really getting to me!  I didn't get in as much stitching time as I would have liked.  I had two finishes, the August SOTM and Part 8 of the Anniversary Band Sampler.  My main focus was Fine Wine, and I did make great progress on that piece, but am still only about half done.  Hopefully September will be even better

Happy Birthday John!

Today is John's birthday.  We actually celebrated early because he had surgery yesterday on his lip.  Here he is with his favorite cake, a spice cake that was his great-great-great grandmother's recipe.  No other cake will do!
