As The Crow Flies...a gift and a new blogger

That's one of my daddy's favorite sayings :) It has reminded me all day today of him while stitching on this wonderful piece! I'll have to tell him :) This is one of the 4 PS leaflets I received in the mail yesterday from a dear sweet friend :) I couldn't wait to get started. I was going to start the Folk Art Eggs as I just adore them, but I did not have any black linen and no dye to dye any with so I chose to start As The Crow Flies. This is an amazing piece! What more could you want...Houses, trees and Crows!! I am loving it so far!! Thank you again my friend :)

LOOK
at this beauty that arrived in today's mail from my dear friend Brenda !! Wow, I was blown away when I opened the package and found this little beauty inside. It is so perfectly stitched and finished on BOTH sides! Just gorgeous! Thank you for a WONDERFUL surprise my friend. I just LOVE it!!



Welcome to Melody-she now has a blog. She has been visiting my blog and I am sure many of yours for a couple of years. I haven't had the opportunity to get over there and welcome her yet-but do pop in and say hi and welcome her to this awesome community :) I know you will enjoy blogging, Melody :)

Becky,

How wonderful that your new wip reminds you of your dad.

I think some of the folk eggs might look nice on a dark blue fabric.

The gift from Brenda is so pretty.
