We had another total blast at my friend Jayne's house for Saturday night stitching! We laughed so hard and had a great old time with our stitching obsession.
Above is Jayne's finished Flower Pot Sampler. She picked a stunning frame!!! The effect of project and fame together is perfection!
 |
| Pat stitched this gorgeous beauty from Jardin Prive. It is definitely on my to do list!!! |
 |
| These four photos are entitled, "Anatomy of a Frenzy." First, Brenda pulled out a BBD book called "Souvenirs of Summer." Then she showed us some fiber and fabrics she purchased to do one of the fabulous projects contained within. This produced Stage I of frenzy; group love and excitement over the project. |
 |
| Which leads to Stage 2 of the Frenzy. Call for the hostess to bring out her entire supply of BBD charts and books for group perusal with attendant frenzied remarks and feelings of excitement in the pits of stomach. |
 |
| Which leads to Stage 3. One (or more sometimes) finds a project she must start right that instant! In this case it was Teresa who started this fabulous Patriotic Bouquet. She did not let the fact that she had no fiber or threads stop her because we were at Jayne's house and not in a stitch shop. Jayne had a supply of fabric and fiber for Teresa to shop in and Voila! project was started. This led to everyone searching the web for every BBD project book known to mankind to fill in the gaps in each collection! |

| Here is Brenda's fabulous finish of the LHN May Cottage! Please visit her BLOG HERE to see more of these fabulous finishes. |
 |
| This is a previous finish of Jayne's! Gorgeous little flower basket!!!! |
 |
| Why yes, our hostess has scissor fobs for every season and she has the correct fob on her scissors at all times! |
 |
| Pat received this stunning ornament back from the finisher. It is by BBD. |
 |
| This is Pat's finish of Tisket A Tasket. It is done in the called for Dye Pot Blend fabric. I still love, love, love this little project. And as you can see, a really good time was had by all. If only we all lived on the same block. We could really give the needlework industry a shot in the arm! |
