Calendar Poodle SAL

💖🎁💖

 Hi friends! Here is the latest stitching I completed.💖🦌💖

This is a free pattern from chez-mamigoz.com

I stitched this over one on 32ct raw Belfast linen with DMC number 816. I mounted this on a Bolthouse bottlecap to get it raised up a bit higher. It is a REALLY tight fit!!


It now sits on the shelf next to the precious 🦌 🎄💖 in the little white frame. Madeleine stitched and framed that for me for a Christmas present. It was a total surprise when she was just 10 years old.🥰

🎄🎁💗 I am quite happy to say I received this lovely English paper pieced hexagon Christmas tree 🎄 ornament from our friend our friend Carol 

Do you see the teeny, tiny stitches? And the PINK, FUSSY CUT PERFECTION?! 🤩 Love it! Carol informs me this is the first one she has ever made. Carol my friend, job well done! You made me so very happy, you literally brought tears to my eyes. Thank you again dear friend!🌟

💖🎁💚 This gorgeous ornament is a Christmas present from our friend Stasi She stitched with metallics for me!🤩 And that needleminder up top, is so spot on for me this year Stasi, SERIOUSLY!! 😂😂 I laughed so hard when I saw it! Love it! Thank you once again Stasi. 😘

💖🎁💖 This beautiful Christmas card and sweet, lovely fabric is a Christmas gift 🌟from our friend Martina Thank you once again my dear friend❣️

I am currently doing a SAL with a few of my friends from my stitch group here in Wisconsin. We organized it through Instagram, not in person. Wisconsin is still way too high with the COVID infections yet unfortunately.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 1Timothy 6:7

Be safe my friends! We are NOT gathering with our families. Yes, we would like to, no we are NOT. So hard, but we want to be safe and LIVE! Merry, Blessed Christmas!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie
