I'm going to be in the DC area Oct.21-26th. My Grandaughter's
Christening is on Sunday in Falls Church Va. Other than that I'm open to
shop or do Lunch.

Please reply to this message by email to QnCityXstitcher at comcast dot net

Hope to be able to me more of my good friends. Bobbie V

Hey Baltimore/DC crew -

I sent a note to Bobbie directly, but.....Should we try to do a
get-together? I know that Donna is away during part of that time, but maybe
we could do Monday the 25th? There is Needlewoman East in Falls Church, and
the Waste Knot (canvas oriented) in Arlington. Just a thought. And
Stitchers Stash in Fairfax. Mt Vernon to In Stitches would be a haul for
the Baltimore ladies. But....some ideas.

Anyhow - I'll be cramming to finish proposals for the 22nd, and going on EGA
chapter tour to Winterthur on Saturday.

Ideas? Of course we can take this off-line to our e-mails.

Color me jealous! Someday, I'm getting down there!

Cheryl

More than welcome - maybe some hockey tourney! Just so long as the house
has finally gotten in order......

Ellice


Like I'd care!

Cheryl

Little did I know what great answers I'd elicit with the question. I'm
lovin' this topic! Now where to begin stitching? Crabs....hysteria....

I'll loan you the piece that hangs in my hallway: if you come to see me,
come anytime; if you come to see my house, make an appointment

LOL - understood. However, at the present due to the final throes of repair
by the builder the sunroom is full of the living room stuff, etc, the family
room has some overflow, and the guestroom covered by the sorting through of
what is still going out to charities, leftovers from a gala I ran, and a lot
of hockey ref-wear. Um, also - as I'm just about done putting the finish on
the unfinished furniture we got for the 2nd guestroom/DH's "room" & a piece
for the family room, there is some additional shuffling of things into the
upstairs open hall/loft. I don't really worry about states of perfection -
that went a long time ago. Just the general it's nice for the guests to
have a place to be without fear of attack by heaps of stuff, hockey-gear,
vicious dust-bunnies, etc......

I like that one!
In my dining room, there's a flowery sampler that says: "Thou Shalt
Not Whine"
Anybody else have a pithy philosophical remark displayed prominently

I also had one when I first moved here that said Thou Shalt Not Whine,
but it's gone now. It was directed specifically at a friend of mine,
but she didn't get it so I got rid of it.
I have a little one near my computer that says: I am Woman, I am
Invincible, I am tired. Does that count.
I gave that one to my daughter, mother of three, some years ago.
Probably the best I have in my stitching/all purpose room, is Sue Hillis
*Wine a bit, you'll feel better". In fact I have te same thing to get
framed as a gift.

A watercolor my son gave me a number of years ago has a picture of a
couch with embroidered pillows, an open book, a piece of knitting, an in

trug with flowers, and a bunch of leaves. The caption is "Dull
women have immaculate houses".

I am a long time lurker but I will jump in on this one. When I was
working in an office I had a handpainted scroll type wall hanging with
flowers painted on it. The text said "One day I shall burst my bud of
calm and blossom into hysteria."
And I cross stitched a hanging for a co-worker that said, "If you want
answers, ask the Boss. If you want correct answers ask the Secretary."
She was the VP's secretary.

Years ago, my DH was working for a company around the DC beltway, where
his "customers" from various agencies would come in, with a request, and
want it done today, if not sooner!

I stitched him a sign for his wall, which said "Proper Prior Planning
Prevents ****-Poor Performance.

They were all engineers!

I don't have it yet, but someday there will be a sign: Meddle Not in
the Affaires of Dragons, for Thou Art Crispy and Good With Catsup. I
just haven't found a good dragon to center it on P

night? I thought the Mr. had just taken up snoring....

Oh, that reminds me of the other one I need: Lack of Planning on Your
Part Does Not Constitute an Emergency On Mine!

Great topic, Sue!

I have one at work: "I'm too busy to be organized!" and a mug that
dictates, "Please don't straighten out the mess on my desk. You'll
confuse me and screw up my whole world." Any guesses as to what my
office area looks like???

The one I have at home hanging in my kitchen says, "Housework makes
you ugly!"
