The name you draw is the person you will create a Christmas gift for. We always hold our Christmas party on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, because RoseAnn in our group still works, and she works for the government. Since she has off on that day, we schedule it for that day so we can all be together to exchange and celebrate. Well this year on Martin Luther King Jr Day our weather was extremely cold. So cold that we decided to cancel our party. The high that day was 3 degrees. With the wind chill it was minus 23! So our party is happening on our usual get together Thursday, February 8th.</p><p>Let me start by saying, I am confident that she does not look at my blog.

Let me start by saying that. This novel is based on the true story of two sisters and Australian Army nurses who survived a deadly attack by the Japanese on their merchant ships during WWII. They swim to the shore of Sumatra, and are taken by the Japanese and put in POW camps where they remain for the next 3 years and 7 months. Not all of them survive. It is a true story and heartbreaking, yet inspirational. I actually cried, which I usually do not. I listened to the audio version.

It was snowing and overcast here. This pattern is found in the December 2023 issue of JCS. I stitched this on WDW 35ct Gunmetal linen from my stash. It called for black linen, but this works too. I needed a small count, and did not have a small count black linen in my stash. I used most of the called for DMC. The JOY sign is from Hobby Lobby on sale for $5.

I did it the old fashioned way, with graph paper and pencil. They look a tad different because I stitched them two over two on mystery green 32ct linen with DMC 433, WDW Bright Leaf, Pecan, and GA Sarsaparilla. Hmm. I forget what brown I used for the eyes and nose. I have come to realize that Flossie's exact haircoat color is impossible to locate thus far. I have searched Michael's, JoAnn, Hobby Lobby, Lynn's, and Country Sampler. So I came up with this combo. As Madeleine told me, "Mom, it is an interpretation." ππ No, she has not seen these yet. I give everyone their ornaments in their Christmas stockings. I found the wooden ornaments for $1 at JoAnn. Flossie JUST fit. I also bought this glittery, green paint there and jazzed them up.βοΈ</p><p>π©ππ©ππ©ππ©ππ©ππ©</p><p>I am stitching something totally unplanned and super cute right now. I cannot wait to share it.

Are you? I became a fan of hers in the late '90s when I was into all things Amish. We were living in Greendale then. I literally read every, single book there was in the Milwaukee county library system on the Amish. That is how I discovered Beverly. I started with The Shunning and I was HOOKED!πͺ I have read every, single one of her adult novels. LOVE THEM! If you are looking for a clean, cozy Christian read, look no further!</div><div>The Heirloom is a stand alone novel, but also the prequel to the 1997 The Shunning. This is the story that explains what caused Ella Mae to be known as the Wise Woman. For any of you long time readers, this will make sense.</div><div>One of my Instagram friends left a comment about The Shunning TV program she has watched several times. I told her I did not know it existed. Brian and I watched it over the weekend. I highly recommend it. It is really well done. Not every detail is purely accurate to the Amish, but I am picky. π</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_M2YOV1dpWo_UQOAJDSf_kshH4oj61En1fTiIvjBaS7esax5Wu7DMpM_2VsPxQ-cRMdx8WLNKqhFiBkDM1UbKapk1INFRmRi0Wm7OlyLVkpOhPKlaQRvu-R8Bq295UMS8jcuq3ju55OjsAgEkYyAFoXg-rMN-nVV_BWqNEd_yeY4PvZ-884civ02_8zQh/s700/12usifq4.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="34" data-original-width="700" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_M2YOV1dpWo_UQOAJDSf_kshH4oj61En1fTiIvjBaS7esax5Wu7DMpM_2VsPxQ-cRMdx8WLNKqhFiBkDM1UbKapk1INFRmRi0Wm7OlyLVkpOhPKlaQRvu-R8Bq295UMS8jcuq3ju55OjsAgEkYyAFoXg-rMN-nVV_BWqNEd_yeY4PvZ-884civ02_8zQh/s320/12usifq4.gif" width="320" /></a></div>I have created a "Flossie" pattern. π This is what I am stitching twice right now.

I will draw a name and announce the winner on Friday, November 10th.<div><div><br /></div><div>It has turned cold here.

It has a wonderful variety of prints, solids, paisleys, sateens, velvets, and shattered silks. I thought about replacing the shattered silk, but no. This was given to me at my bridal shower in 1992, by my Mom and Auntie Kathy. They found it in my Great Aunt Corrine's closet when she moved to a nursing home when she was in her 90's. Auntie Corrine never sewed. They believe it was her sister's, Auntie Ethel's. She sewed. I got my first sewing machine from Auntie Ethel. I also got her treadle White sewing machine.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirKWbrsJHqKOVqfr1ZpAXw_eUOLTLgx11wv_42xGatdcRFVSOSJ6O-jdBlXKyZb9Rnn6zSAZy9_liNhMT6_Yuy63-KIb7SMlXYuDJp2QEhw4ZOZ733FVYnZxv8ao_bTif7qBGNFH714kZ8daHbyzw42gMjixW7bXCxYSJ1zYS5_cx1Z6zBEMjiDLEmnBLB/s4000/DSCN7037.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirKWbrsJHqKOVqfr1ZpAXw_eUOLTLgx11wv_42xGatdcRFVSOSJ6O-jdBlXKyZb9Rnn6zSAZy9_liNhMT6_Yuy63-KIb7SMlXYuDJp2QEhw4ZOZ733FVYnZxv8ao_bTif7qBGNFH714kZ8daHbyzw42gMjixW7bXCxYSJ1zYS5_cx1Z6zBEMjiDLEmnBLB/w300-h400/DSCN7037.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><p>Brian hung this while I was gone at stitch club last week. He surprised me. It has not hung in any of our home's or ever this apartment, for decades. I talked about getting it out again despite the damage. I went back and forth, thinking should I hang it and possibly have it deteriorate more or leave it rolled up in storage. It is too precious to never see again. It is now hanging on the one large open wall in our apartment, in our bedroom. Yes, that is the treadmill on the bottom right. Not perfect, but it is what it is.</p><p>I have a video showing a closeup of the entire quilt. Blogger will not allow me to upload the video. Too much content.

The twine, ribbon, and nails (ha!) are all from stash.π§° I thought the nails hot glued in place of a bow, made it a bit more "manly".πͺ I am rather pleased with this finish. <div><br /></div><div>The winner of the pattern, πStatehood Splendor Series 41st Wisconsinπ§by Thread Milk Designs, is:</div><div>Marilyn!</div><div>Marilyn, the pattern is on it's way to you!π</div><div>I have a small pile of pieces that need to be finished now.

Two former female spies, bound together by their past, risk everything to hunt down an infamous Nazi doctor in the aftermath of World War II. I have not been let down by one of Martha's books yet!

I am no longer in severe pain. I am taking the muscle relaxers daily and the naltrexone, a pain medicine. Between these two, my pain levels are now very low every day. The physical therapy did help, but it was mostly a refresher course to be honest. I do most of these exercises daily for years to strengthen my core. I will have to keep doing them.</p><p>I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Thought I disappeared, I bet. I am here. I just have not been able to post. I have not been able to do a lot of things. I have actually been depressed. I am in severe pain. My back is very bad. It is myofascial pain. I am suffering for many, many weeks now. The physical therapist who did dry needling made it better last Fall. He got the pain to go away for 4 months completely. This time around he made it worse. It is excruciating. I am only surviving by taking muscle relaxers morning, noon and night. I am on a new medication the pain doctor said other patients have had good results with it. I have to give it another week to see if it will work. I am still in the process of increasing the dose.</p><p>It is very hard living like this. Very. I asked my doctor if I could have a referral to go to a different therapist who dry needles. She contacted my pain doctor first. He told her he does not think I would experience any less pain with a different therapist doing it. My doctor relayed this message to me, but said she will refer me if I want to. I want to. My entire right side of my back is so stiff and painful, it is horrid. I just have not had any energy for anything. I have been stitching as I can. Sitting is a problem. </p><p>I had my first appointment with the new therapist, Jen. She is very nice. You know how the first appointments go. They are almost all evaluation. She did do a few minutes of hands on at the end. She did some <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/back-pain/expert-answers/myofascial-release/faq-20058136" target="_blank">myofascial release therapy</a> on my back and it felt good at the time. It did increase the pain a bit once I got home. Time will tell with my sessions with her if she can help me. She does not feel dry needling is the way to go right away. I am fine with that!</p><p>This is Our Lasting Friendship by Blackbird Designs. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtPkpfJJmrBJvYIlWH-DqTHLI_cqDC4P8jgJZMSjyfDzH6Zw0La3uUfCXj1pTPMrrU8h2u5MyuOMVIq6P_i5PZiw22FgzriyUcNRnIxeGFNuGSdDzOQeL3GYsw27sVKqVjBRpme_tVsJIE6pUs4tAEEdzK4yiYaXRHz26lO9UVVoyi4_sWVq6lnugs6w/s2560/P1440289.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1920" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtPkpfJJmrBJvYIlWH-DqTHLI_cqDC4P8jgJZMSjyfDzH6Zw0La3uUfCXj1pTPMrrU8h2u5MyuOMVIq6P_i5PZiw22FgzriyUcNRnIxeGFNuGSdDzOQeL3GYsw27sVKqVjBRpme_tVsJIE6pUs4tAEEdzK4yiYaXRHz26lO9UVVoyi4_sWVq6lnugs6w/w300-h400/P1440289.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p>This is my friend Kathy's sampler.

I am stitching mine with all the called for flosses on 36ct Iced Cappuccino linen. </p><p>I noticed the berries were charted to be mainly red, but the picture shows them mainly pink. There is a picture inside the pattern also of the original antique sampler. That too has mainly pink berries. So I ripped out the few berries I began stitching and stitched them mainly pink. I like this better of course! π</p><p>This is the project I am continuing to stitch on until it is done.</p><p>πππππππππππ</p><p>I am suffering with myofascial back pain. Sitting for too long brings it on. I have to remember to get up after 30 minutes ALL DAY LONG. By the end of the day my lower right back hurts very bad. I went back to the physical therapist I saw last year who is licensed in <a href="https://www.verywellhealth.com/dry-needling-4774471" target="_blank">dry needling</a>, Mike. He is very nice, but what he does is not! It hurts SO BAD! And it hurts BADLY for over half a week. I just don't know that I can keep doing this for who knows how long. I am hoping this time is different. I took Tylenol before my appointment and after. I am going to stay on that for a while to get me through this. It definitely hurt less yesterday than last week's appointment. </p><p>My stitching buddy from our stitch group is bringing me a book on myofascial pain and treatments. She has it because it also covers fibromyalgia, which she has. I have tried a few different treatments already, but I may learn something from the book. It can't hurt to read!</p><p>For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18</p>Thank you for stopping by today.
