I am going to meet up with Barb and Leanne from Lost In Floss fame! Do you know them? Do you watch their Flosstube?
I have a chart here from our friend Robin that I would like to pass on to you. This is open to American friends only, sorry. You must be a sidebar follower of mine and you must leave a comment on this post stating you would like this pattern on this post. I will draw a winner on Friday, October 18th.
BERLIN, 1939. The dreams that Amanda Sternberg and her husband, Julius, had for their daughters are shattered when the Nazis descend on Berlin, burning down their beloved family bookshop and sending Julius to a concentration camp. Desperate to save her children, Amanda flees toward the south of France, where the widow of an old friend of her husband’s has agreed to take her in. Along the way, a refugee ship headed for Cuba offers another chance at escape and there, at the dock, Amanda is forced to make an impossible choice that will haunt her for the rest of her life. Once in Haute-Vienne, her brief respite is interrupted by the arrival of Nazi forces, and Amanda finds herself in a labor camp where she must once again make a heroic sacrifice. NEW YORK, 2015. Eighty-year-old Elise Duval receives a call from a woman bearing messages from a time and country that she forced herself to forget. A French Catholic who arrived in New York after World War II, Elise is shocked to discover that the letters were from her mother, written in German during the war. Despite Elise’s best efforts to stave off her past, seven decades of secrets begin to unravel. Based on true events, The Daughter’s Tale chronicles one of the most harrowing atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis during the war. Heartbreaking and immersive, it is a beautifully crafted family saga of love, survival, and redemption.

Hi, Vickie. Like you, I've never stitched with a group before, so I'll be eager to hear how your time with Barb & Leanne goes. I appreciate your book recommendations, too. And I would love a chance to win the chart! Thanks.
Vickie: I am so happy to hear Jim's tumors are shrinking and the other two are gone, he will continue to be in our prayers here.
I love that you are able to get together and stitch with friends, I love getting together and stitching with friends, I know you will love doing so.
I have to add this book to my reading list.
Please do not add me to your giveaway, I do have this pattern in my stash somewhere.

Sounds like lots of stitchy fun. Like you, I have never had a group to stitch with. None of my friends are in the least bit interested!! Do you recommend their flosstube? I am always looking for new ones to follow. Thank you for another book suggestion!! That one sounds good. Jim remains in my prayers and I am so glad he is doing so well.
Enjoy your gathering, Vickie, you will find it fun to stitch with friends. Very nice giveaway and thanks for the book recommendation - I have just downloaded it to my kindle.
Earlier this year I started attending a monthly stitch ‘n chat. Lots of fun! I would love to be included in the giveaway. Cute pattern!
That looks like a good book-it has come up before my eyes several times now so maybe that means I should read it! Sending up a prayer for your dear Step Dad! And yes, I am interested in the La D Da chart! I love La D Da!
