Hi friends! I came across an UFO over the weekend and decided to finish it off into a pillow.
I stitched this almost four years ago. Two over two on 27ct natural linen with DMC. This is a free pattern you can find HERE I just love this sweet little pattern. It reminds me of Madeleine. That is why I stitched it. Madeleine used to help me water the pink windowsill planters at our home. Not when she was this little, but still. 🤗
I am working on the LAST signature on Jonathan's bluegrass bibs!!!
I absolutely flew through this book!!! I just cannot wait for the next Maisie book to come, and then when it does come I am so sad when I am done with it so quick! I just can't get enough Maisie!! Remember this? My own Maisie I stitched?
Beloved heroine Maisie Dobbs, “one of the great fictional heroines” (Parade), investigates the mysterious murder of an American war correspondent in London during the Blitz in a page-turning tale of love and war, terror and survival. When Catherine Saxon, an American correspondent reporting on the war in Europe, is found murdered in her London digs, news of her death is concealed by British authorities. Serving as a linchpin between Scotland Yard and the Secret Service, Robert MacFarlane pays a visit to Maisie Dobbs, seeking her help. He is accompanied by an agent from the US Department of Justice—Mark Scott, the American who helped Maisie escape Hitler’s Munich in 1938. MacFarlane asks Maisie to work with Scott to uncover the truth about Saxon’s death. As the Germans unleash the full terror of their blitzkrieg upon the British Isles, raining death and destruction from the skies, Maisie must balance the demands of solving this dangerous case with her need to protect Anna, the young evacuee she has grown to love and wants to adopt. Entangled in an investigation linked to the power of wartime propaganda and American political intrigue being played out in Britain, Maisie will face losing her dearest friend—and the possibility that she might be falling in love again.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Thank you for the link to the patterns.
I don’t know if I will ever have time to stitch up all the lovely patterns I’ve discovered since I started blogging, but now I’ve added another to the list!
I read the earlier Maisie book you recommended about feathers and enjoyed it so much I’m now starting at the beginning of the series!
So glad you recommended it!
