Hi friends!
Our friend Astrid sent me a very generous gift.
Yes! ALL TWELVE OF THE PATTERNS TO THE MY GARDEN JOURNAL SERIES BY COTTAGE GARDEN SAMPLINGS! Astrid stitched these and passed these charts on to me. I am not beginning them quite yet. Hopefully very soon. Once I have completed them, I too will pass the charts on.😊
I wanted to thank Astrid in a special way. I remembered a chart that our friend June sent me from England. I knew it would be perfect! So I immediately began stitching it. And then I found a gold frame at Micheal's and send it across the country to Astrid. I am happy to say that she is happy!😁
This was a hard one to let go! You all know how I am with my poodles. But I know that this little mermaid is in good company with many other mermaids at Astrid's home and makes her happy. Thank you June for sending me that chart! Thank you Astrid for your gift of this new series. I will be stitching them up to display on my new corner shelf.
I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me. Psalm 57:2
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

WOW, that is a WONDERFUL gift to receive in the mail :D
How lovely! Such a generous gift, on both sides!
Oh Vickie, I just visited Astrids blog, I thought you designed the mer-poodle...it is darling and I'm impressed there is a poodle-mermaid chart out there!! It wouldn't have surprised me if you designed it though!
You are both kind and generous ladies!
I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on them, they were fun to stitch.
Yes, I LOVE the merpoodle you made me! I know it was hard to send her off, but I think she's happy here with her new family. So thank you, my dear friend, it was a wonderful surprise to receive her!
What a wonderful gift from your friend. Happy Stitching.
Lovely little gift for friend. Very cute.
Hugs, Manuela

You will have to stitch one for your cubby. :)

Hi Vickie,
I have not seen a poodle as a mermaid yet, it looks so cute.
And you have found the perfect frame.
Hugs Martina
Stitchers are the kindest of people.

What a wonderful gift from Astrid.
And lovely stitchery from you to her.
Have a nice day.
Oh what a great gift vickie🌻 have fun stitching.
What an amazing gift--so generous of Astrid! I know you'll have the best time stitching these for your cubby, Vickie :)
Oooh how wonderful! These are one of the few primitive-like designs I really like. The daffodil one is definitely one of my favs. :D The little mermaid poodle is such a cute thank you. I'm sure you'll find it possible to stitch another one. :)))
Vickie: How sweet of Astrid to send the whole series.
I have never seen the Mermaid Poodle what a sweet design and such lovely colors.
Stay warm and safe.

What a lucky gal you are! Those charts are so pretty. Nice finish, too. I'm sure Asrid loved it.
What a wonderful gift from Astrid and the perfect Thank You too. Stitching friends really are the best!
Just playing catchup a bit with your blog, Vickie. What a super gift from Astrid, and a very interesting poodle mermaid that you sent back! Stitching friends are super friends :)
What a sweet and generous gift from Astrid. I know she loved the gift you made for her. RJ
