Happy Anniversary My Dear

February 6, 2015 By Cathy Habermann 23 Comments

Happy-Anniversary-My-Dear_Blog-Image_1

Today, February 6th, is our 27th wedding anniversary. For the past few years, I have dedicated a small, heartfelt design to the love of my life and this year is no different.

I could go on & on about the many joys we have shared over the years: joys that include highs & lows, good times and trials. I’m just going to hold these thoughts to myself this year and let them bring peace to my heart.

Please feel free to Print the PDF. Although it is listed on the chart, I used 30ct Bitter Betty Brew R&R, GAST Endive & WDW Madison Rose. From the Cauldron rick rack was used for embellishment.

The heart is charted for cross-stitch, but if you would like a woolfelt heart to include on your design, please send a SASE to :

Hands On Design
2400 Apache Dr., Sioux City, IA 51104 & I will send you one.

I will send until they are all gone. One per SASE please.

Please see prior Year’s February 6th posting for previous designs.

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!
