Pulled some thread out, and need to restart some of the borders.
Didn't realize how 'off' I was!

The (online) Needlework Show

gifts, accessories, & new bag

Friends and I went to the
Taste of Home Cooking Show
a couple weeks ago.
In addition to the door prizes given out
during the show, vendors also had prizes.
Our GF, Beth, aka the Lucky One,
won a chef for the evening --- and we all were invited to her bash.

What fun we had learning new ways to prepare
our favourite meals - delicious meal, awesome time with friends,
and the chef took care of the cleaned up.

On our way out the door, Beth gave each of us a lovely basket of gifts.
She rocks!

During our recent Needle Art Exhibit,
GF Sue made these beautiful
glass needle minders + glass counting pins.
She had all sizes and colors for sale.
I had my eye on the heart from the second
I saw it on her dining room table - before the show!
Sue is thinking to create more - I saw, go for it.
What do you think? Pretty set IMO!

And, last, I have a new bag
to haul all my 'junk' around. It is a terrific tote -
offered by the Great Lakes Region
(fundraiser)

Thx to GF Marjorie for attending the Region meeting &
picking it up for me.
