I had three ladies enter the giveaway for the 'Soul Birds' La-D-Da chart.
The winner is: Donna!
Our friend Catherine sent me several patterns just because! Aren't they sweet?! So sweet of her!! Thank you once again Catherine!
I went to my first ever Stitch 'n Chat! It won't be my last either! I met the famous Barb and Leanne of Lost In Floss Flosstube fame and MamaJoan from Flosstube also. Joan and Jill drove all the way from Minnesota! to be with us!! A lot of ladies drove quite a distance (nothing like Minnesota!) to come stitch that night! It was wonderful. I was so happy to finally stitch with other friends. I have never done that before!
When a wealthy couple dies, Jim Qwilleran and his cats, Koko and Yum Yum, must follow the case to its explosive conclusion in this mystery in the bestselling Cat Who series. The town of Pickax is buzzing with excitement: its residents are about to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding. But in the midst of all the preparations, Qwill has to take time out to entertain aspiring architect Harvey Ledfield—and deal with Koko’s strange new habit. Because the Siamese star has started dropping from balconies and landing in the oddest of places, including on Harvey’s head! And now that Harvey’s aunt and uncle have mysteriously gone missing, Qwill better brush up on his paw language before Pickax is hit with a bombshell...
In this New York Times bestselling mystery in the Cat Who series, Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, sense that trouble is brewing in their small town... Times are a-changin’ in Pickax, giving Jim Qwilleran some newsworthy notes for the “Qwill Pen.” A new senior center is in the works—as well as a frisky production of Cats. And a local mansion is being converted into a charitable museum. Good thing there’s lots to keep Qwill busy because Polly Duncan is off to Paris, temporarily leaving him without his lady companion. But when a mysterious death from a bee sting leaves everyone but Koko the Siamese in a state of confusion, the kitty with sixty whiskers will need to stop pussyfooting around and let Qwill in on the deadly secret...

One of these days I hope to read all of her books, was there anyone to finish her last one?

I do love how your design came out. It's so you! Perfect, and the frame is beautiful too! So glad you got to have a stitch night with friends. Once upon a time, I used to have a stitch group, and it was always nice to get together. Yay!
Hi, Vickie! Getting caught up on blog reading today. Congratulations to Donna on winning the giveaway! 💕
That was very sweet of Catherine to send you those lovely charts. Have fun! They are wonderful.
My prayers are with Jim and Julie. It's so hard to get hard news, and adjusting to a "new normal" is not easy. Have faith. God is good.
I'm so happy for your that you were able to meet new friends and stitch. That sounds like fun! I hope you have many more opportunities.
I forgot to mention - your sampler looks wonderful! What a neat frame!
The sampler looks lovely, there aren't enough samplers with poodles in them!
What a great meet-up too, so nice to be with like-minded people.
