"Prairie Sisters" Club Update...

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

I've been laying low the whole month of February,

trying my best to avoid getting the flu...so far so good!

But, I'm starting to get cabin fever, 

and really need a fun road trip!

I'm thinking either Minneapolis (Stitchville USA), 

or Madison...decisions, decisions!

Prairie Sisters Handworke Club Update...

Sharing with you today is the first club project...

"Prairie Sisters" Scissor Mat

Model is stitched on 36ct. Edinburgh "Summer Khaki" linen.

The model was antiqued after finishing.

The chosen fabric for the backing...

The Union Blue on this Civil War Reproduction fabric 

was a great match for the sisters dresses!

Today, I will be revealing one of the new club tokens... 

If you notice there are two sets of stitched initials, the TB are mine, 

and the club members name that was drawn to be

included on the charted design is....

JW...Jenny Wright from Canada!

Thank you Jenny for being my long distance stitching sister!

The pattern will also include a charted alphabet,

so you can personalize the scissor mat with your 

 initials and your stitching sister's initials!

If you would like to join "Prairie Sisters" Handworke Club,

memberships are available through my Etsy shop.

Progress is being made on the Antique Reproduction Sampler for Lydia...

Working on this in the evenings for a few hours, 

 the provenance line all stitched...yay!

Lydia Barnes Pidgeon work'd this sampler when nine Years Old 1827

I was planning on working the center section next,

but decided to work the verse instead!

If any man will come after me,

let him deny himself, 

and take up his cross daily,

and follow me.

Until next time, enjoy a great day!
