Hi friends! I finished the October Joyful World SAL. I really love the colors in this one.
I stitched this one over one on 25ct cream linen with DMC and VMSS 1795 Halloween Orange. I did stitch the B5200 two over one to make it pop on the cream linen. I changed the snail a bit. I did not want to stitch up the shell in black and white, so I stitched it in white and DMC 167. I also put in 931 in place of B5200 in the corner flowers in the border.
I still do the drawings for the giveaways the old fashioned way. ;) I write everyone's name down, cut them up into little strips, fold them, mix them up and this time I had Madeleine pick the winning name.The winner of the Shepherd's Bush Fob Chart is
BEA! Bea dear, would you please email me your postal address?
I will have a giveaway of another chart next week.
We have been having nice, cool weather here. So I presently get
headaches from direct sun or using the oven. Kinda hard for moms to
avoid that. ;) I
am able to bake again. I just open the kitchen windows wide and turn on the ceiling fan.
Thank you so much for your kind comments my friends. I cherish the friendships we have made. I do hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am off to find a new stitch! I actually do not have one kitted up or even planned!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie
October's Joyful World SAL design is very sweet :) my favourite so far.

Your October block looks wonderful, Vickie. Congratulations on getting it finished and staying ahead. I hope you have a relaxing weekend. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't started this SAL yet, but your finish is adorable.
ReplyDeleteYour Joyful World finish is very pretty. I have been printing those out, intending to stitch them, well, someday. As I see them stitched on various blogs and Facebook pages, I am pretty inspired. The bread looks amazing. Take care of yourself and enjoy the cool weather.
