We made it through Sandy. The house is standing,as well, as the trees. Many branches down and lost power for less than a day. My friends and relatives on Staten Island and long Island fared okay. They don't live on the coast of the islands. They had some wind damage and lost power for afew days. Compared to folks they know on the coast, they were very lucky. My thoughts and prayers go out to all everyone that lost so much. The east coast is due for another big storm Wednesday and Thursday. Those folks really don't need anymore.
I picked up Baby It's Cold Outside from the framer. It came out pretty good.
The frame isn't as orange as the picture suggests. It's a warm brown. I have been working on Feast of Friendship by BBD. I am using 32ct. v buttercream LSL and the suggested GA fibers. I am loving this piece.
You can click on any of the pictures for a larger view. I took the picture in the house at night, so the colors are not showing as nice as they really are. Hopefully, I will be able to finish it this week. I would like to have it hanging up by Thanksgiving. I was reading blogs and saw that Joanne Fabrics had a new Gingher pattern. Off I went Sunday morning to find a pair and I was lucky to find Jennifer. Isn't she pretty?
Before I close I want to thank everyone for stopping by and leaving the greatest comments. Thank so much. Until next time ..... Happy Stitching. Deborah

I'm so glad that you did okay with the storm--please God you'll have the same report with this nor'easter!
Your stitching looks great--I L.O.V.E. that frame!
Glad you are ok from the storm too. Things are finally getting back to normal here in CT, most of us have power back. I hope you weather the nor'easter ok too. Just what we need! Love the framing choice for your finish. And Feast of Friendship looks great, such beautiful colors on that one.
Love your framing choice for Baby It's Cold Outside! So glad you came through the storm intact.
I'm another one that loves that beading! The buttercream linen is gorgeous too.
So glad to hear you made it safely through the storm and without any damage.
Your framed piece looks beautiful. Great choice. Hope you can finish the BBD piece by Thanksgiving.. it's so perfect for the season.
Glad you fared ok through Sandy. Minimal issues for me as well. Just heartsick over the devastation this storm caused.
Baby is pretty, love her frame! And I love FoF too.
Because of you and so many others stitching "baby" I bought her yesterday... dear me.... :)
So glad to hear you fared well during Sandy. Your header, newly frames piece, and current WIP are all gorgeous! And those scissors - I must go shopping. Those are "my" colors and my daughter is Jennifer, so surely I should own a pair, right?!
Oh my gosh Deborah....your stitching is amazing and you are amazingly FAST. I always love the frames you pick out for your pieces too. I'm so glad you made it safely through the storm. It has been heartbreaking to see the devastation. Enjoy your day!!
The framed piece is awesome! Went to my LNS to buy it and she's sold out! Had to order it for me! You did a beautiful job.
wow your framed piece is so pretty..Lovely progress on your Feast of Friendship...
hugs cucki xx
Love your header photo! And your framed piece and your WIP. You really know how to pick 'em and stitch 'em. ;)
Love your "Baby it's cold outside" and the frame is beautiful...I think I have to pull this one out of my stash pile today!!!
Hugs, Shar
What a great frame for "Baby". I love the beaded detail on it.
I so love both of these pieces. Just gorgeous. The frame is perfect for your 'Baby it's Cold outside'.
I love your finish!! The frame is a perfect compliment.
And your current project is beautiful! Both are in my pile to do!!
Deborah -- I love the frame you chose from Baby It's Cold. Your BBD piece is really coming along. I'm sure it will be hanging before Turkey Day.
Glad to hear you made it through the storm OK. Have a good week:)
Baby looks great in the frame you chose Deborah. Great progress on BBD piece. So happy to hear you made it through the storm okay.

Baby looks wonderful in that frame! Lovely progress on your BBD piece!
Woohoo the finish looks fantastic in that frame
Love the BBD piece
I was lucky to get a pair of Jennifer's too, one of my favorite
Wow~your needles must stay smokin' HOT all the time! You certainly get lots of stitching done, I'm jealous~LOL!
Great job and love the frame!

Deborah,
Love, love, love the baby its cold outside piece. I just added the chart to my stash recently and now I'm more anxious than ever to start it.
I am even MORE inspired to start Baby It's Cold Outside after seeing your beautifully framed version! And your BBD piece has some gorgeous colors in it.. looks real nice so far! Hugs!
Glad you made it through without much harm. Love your stitched pieces. May just have to start FoF - but no way for me by Thanksgiving!
Stay safe and warm. Be well!
Love your framed piece, and even the BBD which I didn't previously care for looks good here on your blog. :)
We also came through the storm alright, and only lost power for about 6 hours (split up into different instances, though). Some of our friends down the street only got it back a couple of days ago; too many major power lines down.
Snowing now outside my window, and it's rather coming down. Hoping it doesn't stick!
Glad you are OK after the storm.
Baby It's Cold Outside looks brilliant in its frame. It's such a lovely piece.
Gorgeous progress on your BBD.
Baby its cold is beautifully framed!
Congrats on finding a pair of Jennifers I think they're my favourite so far!
That is a gorgeous frame Deborah and suits the piece perfectly. Lovely new scissor addition too.
'Baby It's Cold Outside' is great, and how perfect it looks in the beautiful frame that you chose. I love 'Feast of Friendship' too. Your stitching is always so amazing, Deborah. I admire your work so much.
Oooooh.....those scissors are really beautiful!
So glad that you and your friends and family fared well through the storms.
Blessings!
Great framing on 'Baby' and Feast of Friendship is looking lovely
I love the frame.. but then again, I love all of your peices.
Glad that you made it safely through Sandy. Hope that you have a great thanksgiving.
