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 …

Here is my first little corner of merry.berry. It is going to be so sweet! I’m ready to turn the pattern! (Like my toe in the pic?!)

With our home (potentially) in flux with home improvement projects this year, this might just be my sole decoration!

Enjoy your weekend and most definitely enjoy the stitch,

Cathy

I get asked a lot ‘what is your favorite design’.

No easy answer here. I love when a design comes together with a powerful message, one that I wrote, with meaning and a flow that picked up momentum the second I opened the window on my computer screen. 

The Smallest Seed, from the very beginning, has served as a philanthropy design. It hangs in my home as a daily reminder.

Such a fun weekend with my stitching peeps. I as Such a fun weekend with my stitching peeps. 

I asked my friends if they would be ‘student testers’ for a class that I am teaching next week @salemstitches - They were troopers and passed with flying colors. 

I hope you have a group of friends like this. So much laughter, amazing food (wore my stretchy pants), storytelling and enabling (we are staying at a quilt shop!)

I’ll let you in on a little secret. Not everyt I’ll let you in on a little secret. 

Not everything I had designed made it to Nashville Market…it happens. You know its’s gonna be really cool but it just needs a little more time.

Life is running at the speed of crazy right now, it’s OK to say, you just need to wait for the right time little one
