Time for "What are you stitching?"
We haven't had this topic for awhile, so thought it was time again.
Currently I'm working on "Mice babies birth announcement" for a coworker. Criminys, I didn't think this pattern was *that* old...can't find a pic anywhere for it! It's a Janlynn pattern. This is the closest I saw: http://tinyurl.com/kcwj4wr Same mouse characters & mushroom. Baby due in Aug. Well, maybe when I'm done I can sell it as "Rare...hard to find" and make lots of money on it! LOL I also started, but put on hold until birth announcement is done, an Advent calendar for the grandkids. It's similar to this: http://tinyurl.com/qb4ym5d but has a red ribbon-type edging, rather than the blue. Maybe after that I can *finally* get to the afghan I've been wanting to knit for the last 5 years! Gee, is everything I'm stitching "old" and "rare"???? lol -- Joan See my pictures he http://ndjoan.shutterfly.com/pictures If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry? Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance. Unknown |

I am just finishing up the Mountain Bluebird by Terrance Nolan and will
start a small Dimensions Gold kit of a snowman. It is cute and done on navy blue fabric. Sharon in MN "Joan Erickson" wrote in message ... We haven't had this topic for awhile, so thought it was time again. |

I think I have finally figured out how to post to this group. I've been following it off and on for many years.
I'm taking Japanese Embroidery lessons and am currently working on Phase VIII - Maple Leaves. Very pretty but very intense. And to do something a little less stressful, I'm working on Glendon Place's "Come Said the Wind" as well as a Quaker Scissor's Pocket my EGA is doing. Hope to see more people post. Pat in SJ |

San Diego EGA is collecting ornaments for those who lost everything in the wildfires, so I bought a couple colors to crochet yarn bombs as well as some fabric, perf plastic, and floss for stitching -- they've asked us to be mindful that not all families are Christian, so prefer geometrics and florals, so I'm just doing my own thing without a pattern on geometrics. Just finished a red/white/blue and started a pink/purple overdye.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself? I'm Joan, have been a member here for many years. I work in the university library at UND, have 3 grown children, 2 grandkids, a DH and 1 *very* active German shorthair (he has 2 speeds: run and stop). I do cross stitch, knit, crochet, hardanger, needlepoint and have attempted tatting.

Time for "What are you stitching?"
Nice to meet you Joan. I'm Pat and I live in South Jersey with my DH and 3 cats. I have three children and 5 grandchildren who I spoil rotten. I love all types of embroidery and needle arts. I'm taking Japanese Embroidery classes and am on Phase VIII - the Maple Leaves. I also took a class in WIlliamsburg last month with the Royal school of Needlework on surface embroidery. It was great and I Iearned a lot.
I have followed RCTN for many, many years, back when a lot of designers, Trish Brown, VIctoria, etc were involved. It's a shame it's slowed down so much as I really enjoy reading what everyone is doing. |

Hard to get comfortable to stitch with the back problems and the stand I got in order to stitch from the recliner does not work. One of these days I will finish it, just not holding my breath that it will be done soon.. |
