Boy, I Am Late!

What a busy week. Thank goodness that is behind me. Every time I tried to stitch, I had to put it down to do something or go somewhere! At least I got my flu shot in the midst of all that running around.

I am loving these cooler days! Just enough of a chill for a sweater in the mornings! And the morning chill makes that first cup of coffee taste more comforting! Life has not gotten Dull yet but it does seem like things have settled down a bit and back to normal. We celebrated the cooler days with a big pot of beef stew!



 
The Book of Days 2021 by Needlework Press will be sent out soon so I called my LNS to reserve my copy!



 
I was able to take some time to clean and straighten out my project basket. It won't look this neat for very long! LOL



 
Harriat Brown by Stacy Nash was put on the back burner during our busy week but now is moving right along! I have several more lines stitched up. I have several ideas for that empty space. I just need to decide.  I am still debating on whether I want to add a border around her. I have time to decide that.



 
Quilts and Samplers are two of my very favorite things so I had to include them! The number 5 is repeated about five times on one line. This is because many important things in my life have been associated with that number. I went to Catholic school for 5 years. I was 5 years old when I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I married the youngest of 5 boys. I got married on the 5th day of the month. I was the middle grandchild of 5.



 
Right now I am working on the crowning piece of this sampler. It is a very special prayer. I will post a picture and more about it after I have finished stitching it.
 
I have a few more little fill ins to take care of and then on to make sure Harriat gets her moment to shine (one way or another)!  Fingers crossed I have enough fabric to stitch her. I will definitely be doing some rearranging on my walls!
 
Until next time may you have simple days and an uncluttered heart

Harriat is looking awesome and I love how you are personalizing her to suit you, Sherry! Hope your days are filled with crisp autumn air and many stitches this week.

Nice progress.
We all get weeks like this so busy can't get every thing done .
But always nice to have a tidy up of our work boxes .
Have a good week.

I'm not familiar with that Nash design. And five is a good number!
