WIP progress pic & Ornament Mag

Received a phone call from House of Stitches this morning, the JCS 2008 Ornament magazines have arrived : ) I hope to pick mine up this week.

More progress on the motifs inside the diamond shapes. This marking sampler is delightful to stitch.

Thx to the on-line stitching friends who sent e-mails after seeing our region on the tv news. Yes, Northwest Indiana is recovering from all the rain over the week-end. We are doing ok. We had 11" of rain Sat-Sun. Lots of roads are closed & school cancelled today. Our home is fine - our drive had some water damage. Looking foward to sunshine in the next few days.

I'm also hoping to spot a new Gingher Designer Scissor called Roberta. I've seen a picture; however, haven't been to the fabric store to see if they have arrived.

Your sampler is looking gorgeous, I love the colours. Thanks for mentioning about the JCS ornament issue - I preordered, so hopefully mine will be on the way soon :)

Glad to hear you are doing well even with all that rain. Let's hope you don't grow webbed feet LOL.
Sampler is looking beautiful. I think that is one of my favorites.
The new ornament issue is out YIPPEE I will have to start hunting for it asap.
