I finally chose a theme...

I finally chose what to do for our exchange.  And man it sure was hard.  I decided it would be so fun to have a needlework tool so to speak....

Judy Odell's Ultimate Needlebook.

I'm changing colors, and adding some minor stitching to the inside panels.  I think the bands can be easily divided up between everyone and everyone can sign  on the inside.  I think it will be fun to have a finished piece by so many friends that I can use all the time.

I spent the weekend going over the finishing to make sure I cut the fabric correctly, and began my part and grids.  

Hello all -- how about a check in?

So, it's 2008 ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone even ready for 2007 to start?

Officially there are 9 of us. Michele left of merry band. I've left her on the members list in case she suddenly has a change of heart. In the next oouple weeks I'll email you all to check that I have perfect addresses and get out a shipping rota to everyone.

Since we're a little less than a month away for our first mailing, how about a check up to see how thigs are shaping up---

I'm hopeless as usual. I have yet to cut my fabric, but I have stayed true to my original plan to do the LHN "inspiration/scripture" squares. There are 12 of them, but I'll work out the excess later. I will stitch a semi-central square (the one of the set that comes without exterior borders) and hopefully another one so that there are plenty of opportunities for you to take off in misc directions depending on your whims.

hugs and happy stitching,
ruth

Clarification on our number

Just to clarify, everyone participating has joined the blog so our number of stitchers is at 10?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Well, i haven't started my RR yet and have changed my mind once again. I totally forgot i have the Christmas Alphabet by Prairie Schooler and am going to figure out how i want to lay it out and hopefully start it within the next couple days. Everyone can stitch 2 squares on this one, they are pretty small.

Hugs, Karen :)

Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!

The happiest of New Years to you all --

Howdy everyone...

How are things going with everyone? I hope everyone is having a very happy holiday season so far.

Thanks to Ruth, I have the Needle Necessitie flosses needed for the Sweetheart Tree hearts I'll be sending around (for most, not all, the border of the heart is stitched with a NN overdyed). I'm picking up fabric this week. Yes, I know we have plenty of time before our start date in February, but I have a 30% discount to use for 1 "shopping trip" at my LNS (have to use by Dec.31) and I'm planning to buy fabric for several projects.

Big HUGS to all.

HEY TONI!!!

I'm good Toni!! Lots nad lots going on in my life! I'm ready to move to a deserted island.
What's up with you?

Hugs!
