A PrairieYear by Prairie Schooler


I have had this chart for many years. By visiting my friends blogs I found out that there was going to be a stitch along on one of the BB. I decided to stitch it on my own with a little incentive form them. I tried to join Becky's board but sent the e-mail to the wrong place and then the board was full. I have change the DMC to WDW and fabric to 32 count summer khaki. Wish me luck

Merry Cox "Shaker Spool Holder"


I love Merry Cox. So I ordered her kit to do the Shaker Spool Holder. I also love this Magazine Sampler and Needlework Quarterly I have collected every issue.

New Stash

I wanted to try the Silkweaver Fabric so I orderd the Antique Gold and Purely Primitive in 36 count along with a little extra. The fabric is wonderful and feels so soft. I have not decided what to use each piece for yet but i'm sure I will soon.
