Hi friends! I have a little Valentine finish to share with you today. This is February-Hearts from Rainbow Gallery, the 2005 Cross Stitcher's Surprise Series.

These patterns are still available for free HERE

I am stitching the whole series with DMC, not Rainbow Gallery Fibers, so I am choosing my own colors. Kinda matching the picture. I stitched this one over one on 25ct cream Dublin linen. It is now in the cubby shelf ready for the February display❣️ I need to get a picture of that for the blog.

I am now stitching a LK Valentine piece for the cubby shelf.

Sandra!!! I would like to email you in response to your cry for help just a few days ago, but you do not have an email contact. I am hoping you see this. Please email me Sandra. My email address can be found once you click on "View my complete profile" on the upper right , up above. Or leave your email down below in the comments. I will get back to you about the cross stitch book information.

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson was a book I thoroughly enjoyed. I have also read The Summer Before the War by Helen and loved it. I think she is a talented author. I had hoped for more books by her. There aren't any more unfortunately!
In the small village of Edgecombe St. Mary in the English countryside lives Major Ernest Pettigrew (retired), the unlikely hero of Helen Simonson’s wondrous debut. Wry, courtly, opinionated, and completely endearing, the Major leads a quiet life valuing the proper things that Englishmen have lived by for generations: honor, duty, decorum, and a properly brewed cup of tea. But then his brother’s death sparks an unexpected friendship with Mrs. Jasmina Ali, the Pakistani shopkeeper from the village. Drawn together by their shared love of literature and the loss of their spouses, the Major and Mrs. Ali soon find their friendship blossoming into something more. But village society insists on embracing him as the quintessential local and regarding her as the permanent foreigner. Can their relationship survive the risks one takes when pursuing happiness in the face of culture and tradition?

I am happy to say GOOD BYE  to the Polar Vortex thank you very much!! Ugh! Such horrid, frigid, biting wind! We had days of -30's with -50 wind chill added in! Henry cried when I picked him up once he was done with his business. I practically cried!

I hope you have nice weather and a nice weekend my friends! Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate you! God bless you!

For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen Romans 11:36
