Bring 3. Pick 1.

I am so incredibly lucky to have a group of friends who love to cross-stitch. Every time we get together it is like a little slice of heaven. We are all passionate about stitching, new charts, new accessories, old charts, new thread, laughing and being positive and happy.
Recently we were able to celebrate a big birthday for Linda. We gathered at Karin's house and just had a great time. Key words are birthday cake, stash room, and fun.
As we were stitching someone told a story about a group of stitchers who had a great idea. I am stealing that idea.
Here is the scoop: at our December stitching get together at Inspired Needle we are all going to bring 3 projects. They can be works in progress or just a chart that we have but have not started.
Then everyone will vote for one of the three charts for each person. The task then will be to finish that project by the end of 2011! Isn't that so much fun!!!!
I vow to document the day with pictures of all of our choices and the winning projects.
Hence, the title of this post "Bring 3, pick 1!" Half the fun is going through my stash to pick which three projects I bring!!!

Eye Candy

Tomorrow night is stitch night!!!! Can't wait. These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago....above is Teresa with her Gettysburg Address in progress....it really looks good!!!!
Here is Linda's Plum Street Sampler ornament from the current ornament issue. I am sure this is done by now because Linda is a diligent and organized stitcher.
