Finally...a new post!

 


I'm back! Well, almost back. I am in the shop for a few hours today to blog and to do some other computer stuff. I'm still recovering from surgery but doing very well. I will be on vacation next week (surgery or not, I was NOT going to cancel my vacay) but I plan to be back to work starting Monday July 12. I am looking forward to coming back.

The Stitch and Frame Shop will be CLOSED on Saturday July 3, Sunday July 4, and Monday July 5

I love her designs in the round and these two are no exception. The best part is you can get really creative with fabric and floss colors.

Happy June!

 


June already!? It's hard to believe that it's almost summer. I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. I must say that I really enjoyed having Monday off. I only wish that I had gotten more stitching done.

I want to let you know that I am having surgery on Wednesday (a hysterectomy). It may be a while before I blog again. Once I start feeling better, I may be able to blog from home but if not, I should resume sometime in July. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery are most welcome.

In other news, Peggy sent an email out on Friday afternoon announcing her plan to retire. It was a very hard decision for her to make but she truly feels that it is time. For now though, it is still business as usual. We are still framing and ordering supplies. With that in mind, take a peek at some new designs on the way.



From Cottage Garden Samplings
Ok, this design is definitely my favorite one in the series. Love that strawberry.

Time For All Seasons #6
Strawberry Harvest


From Tralala
A cute patriotic sampler.
