More Congratulations for Robin!

Congratulations, Robin, on having the current front page sampler for the Yahoo group, thesamplerlife.

I need clarification - is this your original design?  You are awesome!  Busy, busy, busy.

Vintage Samplers

Hey, Robin -
You seem to be away from your computer this weekend. You weren't by any chance up at Whalen Auctions buying old samplers were you? Just learned that they had a pretty nice assortment that were auctioned yesterday...and not cheap!

Just askin'.

Happy Thanksgiving

This is my mind's view of the quintessential
Thanksgiving Day
from days gone by.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone.

Happy Birthday, Robin

Hi, Robin-

Everyone here at Tuesday night stitching wants to wish you a very Happy Birthday!!
You've got a big weekend for sure. Enjoy...

Robin, Lauren, Sue, Shirley, Rose, Toni, and Bobbi

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

Our Little Stitched Greeting for Carol

Lenore, Rose, Toni, and I stitched this little pillow
with the pretty message for Carol;

Toni did the beautiful finishing.

We all were finally able to get together yesterday
and we presented it to Carol.

She was moved.  We enjoyed doing it for her.

It's a Country Cottage design if I remember correctly.

Thistle Threads Online Casket Class next year

Hi,
I thought I would post the casket class link in case anyone is interested.

What I am working on

Beautiful job Rose on Lauren's sampler. I too am awaiting on the La D Da sampler.

I have been busy charting a new sampler. I don't know how I found time to do the charting with everything....yes I do I stayed up to 3:00 a.m. a couple nights. I also started my basting for the Sherri Jones class next March.

Haven't had the opportunity to paint the frame LZ's husband did such a nice job on.

Also just signed up for Tricia of Thistle Threads online class for the casket next year. She always does such a nice job.
Back to my dissertation.....

Long Time No Talk

OK, it's time to try to bring this blog alive again.

So, Loose Feathers and La D Da were late...
what else is everyone working on?

I finally started Loose Feathers Autumn,

but don't have enough stitched to bother with a photo yet. 

Will do soon. 

I kept reading that apparently the La D Da part 1
was going to ship on Halloween,

so I would think we'd be hearing soon that this has arrived.

Some of us got to see the Erica Michaels trunk show. 

All I can say is
that several of those cute, teeny, tiny designs went home with us. 

I can hardly wait to see some of those completed.  I hope my eyes hold out!

Robin, what are you up to? 

It's been pretty quiet down in Minerva...what's going on with you, LZ. 

You're probably busy as a bee down there.
Has anyone else completed Birds of a Feather?
Has anyone painted their BoF frame?

Rose has finished Lauren's Anniversary Roses sampler.  It is magnificent. 

Shown below are a couple of photos of that long, beautiful piece.

Any Autumn pieces in the work with anyone?

Here are the photos from Rose's Anniversary Roses sampler:



The very end....
It was great fun that a bunch of us were with Rose
to celebrate the completion of this magnificent piece,
including Lauren, who created the sampler.

Eye candy!
