Grab bag/Give-a-way
SAL Update
RJ is feeling a bit better and is appreciative of all your well wishes. I am deviating from what we have planned to show for May's post till she can join me. Hopefully soon!!
Grab Bag & Give-a-way
I wanted to stitch something for one of the ladies that I worked with before I retired for her wedding. I loved the sentiment and simplicity of this pattern. The pattern came with a gold heart charm and I substituted a silver charm as the recipient prefers silver. I am offering this pattern and the gold charm that came with it as a give-a-way. Just make a comment you would like to stitch this and I will enter you into the drawing. All followers are eligible.
I searched a long time for a frame and I really like how this one picked up the grey in the stitch and how the zig zag design complimented the design in the stitch.

I did send RJ an e-card, maybe you could suggest she check her email if she is up to it!
ReplyDeleteLove the little Wedding Sampler, it makes a beautiful gift for an anniversary too.
Your thrifted Butterfly was a great find and perfect for the May chart too.
I love how your May turned out,it looks great all finished! What a pretty wedding sampler! I am sure it was well received. I have emailed RJ a couple of times but I figured she must not be up to checking it. Please tell her I am sending hugs and good thoughts to her when you speak to her!
