Thank you all so much for visiting with me. I tried to catch up on some blog reading and commenting last night and today. I don't know how you all do it-keep up with all the posts out there-I feel I would never stitch or do anything else for that matter if I commented on every blog in my reader :) I REALLY need to go through my blog list and remove blogs I no longer visit or that have been dormant for a long time.
I appreciate each and every visit and comment and personal email :) Thanks bunches :) Please do come again :)
hugs and love from SC,
BeckySC

wow! You finished that quickly & oh my! It is gorgeous....so very pretty!!!
It is so pretty. I also have hundreds of blogs that I read and wait til I have a day where I either get out of work early or I don't have work and I get caught up. Like you I want to get to my stitching. It took me 4 hours today to go through them all. I didn't comment on most of them.
A truly gorgeous finish Becky, it looks so elegant. Thank you for leaving a comment on my latest post, I hope to get through all my goals this year :)
Best wishes.
That is a beautiful finish! It is hard to keep up with the blogs, sometimes I can only comment on a few and just read the others!
A gorgeous finish.
That's so pretty. I love the colors. It reminds me of something my Grandma had hanging up in her house when I was growing up. :)
Becky, it is gorgeous - beautiful stitching and lovely colours.
I know what you mean about the blog reading. Sometimes I just spend all evening blog reading and get absolutely no stitching done!
Hugs, Kaye xoxox
Oh Becky it has turned out beautifully - I adore it x
Such gorgeous colors, Becky! I know she'll just love it!
beautiful finish and lovely colors!
Ohhh - so pretty!
Gorgeous, love it!
Hugs,
It certainly turned out beautiful. As far a reading blogs...I have whittled mine down to a few...I have yours on my homepage...so I know when it is updated..I just love looking at your finishes.
Becky -- Please email me your email address. I cannot use the link you have provided. I want to tell you about my project for your

I didn't touch the computer all weekend so I am a little behind. Your block 5 is gorgeous as is the beautiful Prairie House project. Carolyn will have a treasure. I'm so glad your Mom is doing well. We'll keep those prayers and good thoughts coming your way!
It's just gorgeous Becky!
Hugs
It's gorgeous Becky! I really like the color changes you made.
I continue to be amazed at those who are able to blog lurk AND accomplish any stitching! I spend so much time on this PC if only I spent that time stitching. I do enjoy reading of my stitchy friends lovelies though!
Torn between two loves I suppose.
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness I love the colors. I am sure you can not tire of the compliments, what a beautiful job. I cannot wait to see the anticipated, gorgeous finish.
Keep on stitching.
Oh, it looks sooooo pretty! It makes me want to stitch this for myself! Gorgeous.
Becky, it's gorgeous! I can't imagine that the model could be any prettier!
Great finish!
Just popping by to let you know I updated my BAP Challenge piece

Your finish is beautiful!! Love it!! Hope your Mom is doing well. I am praying for a speedy recovery..
I love the way you "style" your photos with all the sewing bits and pieces. :)
Wow! Smoking needles, Becky!! I can't wait to see it atop that box you have for Carolyn!
Hi Becky,
That is sooo nice. Can't wait to see it with the box. You're a marvel!!
-Sherry-
This is yummy, Becky! Love your choices.
It does look lovely. I just started my whitework sampler today. It was just a tad too small for your challenge and I didn't have anything in my list of stuff that was quite that size but it's bigger than my normal.
Just beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished project.
Just beautiful. Carolyn will love it. Hope Mom is feeling better each day. Marty
Drop dead gorgeous, Becky!!! You are a stitching dynamo - a real inspiration.
beautiful stitching, I love the colour changes.
I don't know how you get so much stitching done with all that you do. Lovely work. Can't wait to see the final finish.
What a lovely design. The border is spectacular.
Simply gorgeous.
Wonderful. It looks gorgeous!
Hugs, Gabi

Gorgeous finish as always . I'm sure it will be treasured .

Wow! That is beautiful. I'm sure she'll love it!
I'm glad to hear that your mother is doing well after her surgery ;)
A gorgeous finish Becky.
I've sorted though the blogs I had in my reader recently as I couldn't keep up with them all.
What a beautiful finish! I love the colors. I get overwhelmed by all the blogs sometimes too but I do enjoy reading them whether I have time to comment or not.
I am so glad to hear about your mother.
Your piece is beautiful. I hope your Mom is doing well.
I have cleaned out the blogs as well. I didn't have time to even read them some days.
This is soooooo adorable... I love the colors...
Oh girlie, it looks just lovely! I'm sure she is going to love it. I can't wait to see it on the box. You do such pretty things! {{Hugs}}
It's lovely, Becky. I think the color substitutions you made are beautiful.
I'm looking forward to seeing the photos when this one is all made up!
Beautiful!!
Lovely Becky...great color subs too!
WOWEE, that is most excellent! I agree with you about the blogs...it does take a lot of time to keep up. I really didn't love blogging, so I only do it now for my family who are out-of-town.
Becky, that is absolutely gorgeous!!! I am very behind on blogs, and sometimes I don't even comment, but I try to keep up as best I can. I do need time to stitch too!! :)
Lovely, great colours. I have to get my chart out now, inspiring:))
Such a lovely finish Becky, the colors are so beautiful!
Please don't delete my blog, I haven't posted in a while but plan to soon!
xoxo
So gorgeous!! Can't wait to see it all finished up with the box!
As for the blog thing, I tend to get behind too (like right now) but usually spend a morning a week going through my blog update gadget on my blog. That seems to work for me!
How pretty all finished up. I love the colors; very subtle.
Lovely work
Love the color changes you made, can't wait to see how you finish it!
This one stitched up quickly and it is oh so pretty! I absolutely love BBD patterns and I just got started on a new one yesterday.
A lovely finish.
I'm not sure how people kee up with blogs either, I always seem to be behind these days.
