I almost forgot the new moon and my Tusal for the month. Pic's below. Had a great week-end here in Eastern MA. The weather was hot but that didn't us from having some fun. Spent some time with my freind, Kathy celebrating her birthday. For about 3 weeks she is older than me. Yeah! We have been friends for over 30 years. While we were celebrating , her husband Mike was putting up a new clothes line for me. He had to replace all of the parts. What a guy! He does all my man kind of things since my DH died. (he passed away 6 years ago) This has nothing to do with the picture of Boris. I did this wonderful piece the last few days. It is small and worked up quickly. I did Olga last year and now they will spend the fall together in perfect harmony. I used 36 ct v. examplar linen and the suggested CC fibers.
A close up of Boris. You call click on any of the pics for a closer view.
This is my new start. The autumn sampler from With Thy Needle. I see a trend here. I am using 32 ct dirty linen and the suggested fibers from GA. The leaves and acorns are hanging in the air because I am waiting for floss. I will probably substitute the trees with something else. I am impatient and have been waiting acouple of weeks for the floss. At least I know my faults. LOL
Last, but not least, is my jar of orts. I will probably need alittle larger jar.
Thanks for visiting my little part of the world. I love the comments and appreciate them all. Until next time...Happy Stitching! Deborah

Boris looks great! I did Olga and I love both their expressions. Paulette did such a great job designing them!
I will look forward to seeing more of your Autumn sampler. I resisted so I'm hoping I will "stitch it" vicariously via your stitching!
I love Boris...and fall leaves, like a breath of cool air on this humid, hot day! :)

Boris is darling, Deborah--so glad Olga has her soulmate to sit side by side with her forevermore :)
I love, love, love your new start--you are an amazingly quick stitcher. I've been really struggling this month as I'm spending a lot of time caring for my parents out of town. I can't wait to get back to some serious stitching!!
Great stitching on Boris. I love all the colors in your ort jar - a work of art in itself
Ohh he's sooo cute - I will have to get him and Olga out and make a start.
Yes, where would we be without our friends.

Boris is cute and I can't wait to see more of your new start. Glad you had a fun weekend.
Hi Deb- I CAN see your follower's pictures on your blog page. It took a second to load- at first I just saw the heading "Followers", then the pictures came in.
It must be a setting that clicked "off" on your end.
Love all your work! Just stunning!
You are so fortunate to have such good friends. How nice it was for you to get together and celebrate.
Boris looks awesome! It will be wonderful to see him hanging alongside Olga.
Love your new start too!
Great new start and Boris is adorable
Boris is so sweet and I love your new start:)
Gotta love Boris and Olga!
I adore Boris! I bet the two will live in harmony :o)
Your new WIP is lovely.
