Karen does 2 ornaments a month, one for her and one for a very lucky follower. I was the recipient of her July ornament. It's a beautiful humbug. Three sides are beaded. The picture is the Christmas tree side. So lovely. The picture below is the bottom. Click on any of the pics for a larger view. This ornament is so beautifully done and will have a place of honor on my tree. Karen, thanks so very much!
I had the acorn sampler framed and I couldn't be happier with the results. I can't tell how much I love this piece. Sorry about the pictures today. We have had rainy weather for the last 2 days. Very dark and dreary.
A close up of the frame, which I think looks log cabin like. Very woody.
I am almost done with summer on my Wednesday SAL. Just have to do the flower band and then we are on to Fall.
A little closer view. This week at my Wednesday group we are having a guest. One of my followers, Nancy (no blog) is visiting her family in the area for a month. She wanted to get together, so I thought that coming to group would be fun. Stitching and food is always a good time. It will be fun to meet one of my blog friends in person.
This is Autumn by With Thy Needle. Haven't gotten to far. The fabric is 32 ct dirty linen using the GA threads called for. Love this piece a lot and can't wait to really get into it. The reason I have been busy is that Joanne had surgery last week on her foot. I have been busy taking care of her. She is doing much better now and can bear some weight on the foot. She is hoping to go to work on Thursday. We don't know if she will be able to drive yet, so I might be driving her for awhile. We will see.
Have a great week. Until next time.....Happy Stitching! Deborah

Have fun meeting Nancy--one thing is for sure--fellow stitchers never run out of things to talk about when they meet up :)
You are so right - the Acorn Sampler is in a perfect frame. It looks gorgeous! And so do your other projects. I *love* the piece with the four seasons, I just forgot who the designer was. Have to go back to one of your older posts and look it up. I think I have to have this one, lol.

It's an adorable little ornament. :)

Oh, I love the Acorn Sampler! Who is the designer? As I told you, I really like Autumn and Winter patterns and that one is beautiful. That frame suits it perfectly! Your work is lovely!
