It's hard to believe 7 months has passed since starting my blog

back on April 22nd of this year.  

I would like to truly thank everyone for their friendship, 

comments and continued support ~♥~

I can't think of a better way to

"Give Thanks With A Joyful Heart"

and to say Happy Thanksgiving than by giving a gift.

Here is the free giveaway gift that I mentioned last Friday....

~ A Needlework Enthusiast's 2015 Book of Days ~

I'll be giving away 1 of these lovely calendars to one 

name drawn on Thanksgiving Day.

This is a month~at~a~glance calendar featuring quotes,

vintage art and an antique alphabet chart.

The cover this year is a vibrant 

1745 Boston Band Sampler.

The calendar size is a 9 by 12 softcover calendar book with the twelve 

months of the year.  This nice size is perfect for a desktop of fits 

nicely into your favorite sewing bag.  Each month has a section where

you can write your notes & musings, or use as a journal of your

stitching projects.

Also, a page to list email addresses, websites, phone numbers, etc.

Also includes an antique charted Alphabet for your use.

I love these pictures taken on Sunday of the Mississippi River....

All day Sunday was rainy and foggy....hard to believe this

was actually taken in the afternoon!

A little island and a buoy.

So enchanted looking!

We woke up to a light snow dancing in the sky, and by the end 

of the day we can expect 4"......

I'm not planning on going anywhere today.

While typing this post it's so peaceful to look out my Studio 

 window and watch the gentle snow coming down.

This little bird has an update....

 32ct. Belfast Heritage is being used on the new sampler model....

The stitch count is 111W by 191H.

  If stitched on 32ct. this new sampler will

  fit a frame with a 8" by 13" opening like the antique

frame above.

Last Saturday my husband helped me tweak the wording

of a little verse I want to use on this sampler.

This weekend I got the border and the verse all stitched,

and here is a little sneak peek.....

My little helper is keeping the tucked verse TOP SECRET!

I'm using my beautiful palette of threads from Weeks Dye Works.

When I release this pattern the DMC alternatives will also

be included.

My little helper will be really excited to share this finished 

sampler....SOON?????

I'll be sharing an update on Friday :)
