Sunday Stitch

Today was our one Sunday a month stitch-in at Inspired Needle. We have so much fun every time we get together!!! It sure is good for the soul! Above is the very talented Barb with her finished Midsummer Night Musings design that I absolutely love!! The frame is just fabulous also!
Below is Debbie's Jeanette Douglas project. Each piece is the page of a book. It is very labor intensive and is going to be a true work of art when finished. Gee, it is already a work of art really.
I went around snapping pictures of everyone's projects; either in progress or finished. This is a gorgeous work done by Cathy. It is on 40 count over 1. I was lazy and did not write down the name of any of the projects (actually I was so giddy to be there I just could not contain myself!). If you want to know the name of anything let me know and I will find out for you.
Below is Teresa's progress on Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow. She is way ahead of me!
Below you see Linda. I love the way she put her Hawk Run Hollow pattern in a notebook!!! Great idea!
Here is Pat's Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow progress. Stunning!
Speaking of Pat, she is on the cover of this magazine! She is the wonderful woman located at the left of the group. She won an award for being an amazing nurse! That is so cool!!!!! Congratulations Pat!!!!
Below are two of Barb's finished pieces. Both of them are by Carriage House Samplings. I know the one on the left is named "The Gilded Cage." I am not sure of the name of the other one.

This is the project that Nancy was working on! She is nearing the finish line and I love the greens in this piece.
Below is a finished Laura Perrin piece done by Cathy. Vibrant and great colors!

Here is another shot of The Gilded Cage with the frame that Barb picked out for it. Barb only got this chart about ten days ago. We joked with her that she finished it on the way home while stopped at traffic lights! She is a speedy stitcher and her work is always meticulous!!! I want to be like Barb when I grow up! I missed getting a picture of Jayne's work in progress because we all started acting up, walking around the shop, screaming about this or that pattern, and generally getting a stitcher's high!!!

You just can't beat an afternoon like it!!!!

These are simply stunning -- what a wonderful group of women you know! So talented. I used to needlepoint a lot and seeing that sampler brought back memories!

My verification word is "troll." Don't you love it when it's a cool, real word?
