A little stitching…

November 21, 2015 By Cathy Habermann 6 Comments

… on a snowy night.

It started snowing yesterday afternoon (I love the first snowfall, but after that, well, you know…)

I usually work while I watch tv at night with my husband. This time of year I am still wrapping up a few finishing jobs, but tonight I felt called to stitch.

This model was suppose to have been completed last weekend at a retreat, but my body and the flu had other ideas!

Hands On Design and Just Another Button Company released [merry] a few weeks ago. Usually I send this to a model stitcher, but you know me and chalkboard …

Enjoy your weekend and most definitely enjoy the stitch,

Cathy

I love this part of my job! We were in Ames, IA f I love this part of my job!

We were in Ames, IA for a few days (Special Olympics Summer Games on the IA State campus). On the way home, we stopped at Prairie Rose Needleworks to visit Amanda! She opened her shop a year ago & it was wonderful to see it all in person!!

- love her storefront - great parking with restaurants close by
- I took home several of those nurge hoops
- a great selection of charts and threads
- awesome embroidery kits with books on Sashiko & Kogin
- I spy binders of my designs (I couldn’t help it 🤣)
- there we are…I’m fresh off the tennis court so not loving my hairdo!

It was great to see her again after Nashville Market. Check the shop out if you’re in the area or see her website!
