Stitching by my Mom

Please click to enlarge & read the cute signs my Mom added. My favorite is the cat! But, it is totally clever & creative.

This is my Mom's Round Robin / Friendship Sampler. The stitchers are members of Needle Artisans of Northwest Indiana.

This week-end is The Threads That Bind needlwork exhibit held in Munster, Indiana [details on the web site, link above]. Saturday & Sunday 10am - 4pm. It is my understanding there will be 240+ projects on display stitched by the EGA chapter members. Along with the exhibit will be a boutique - stitchie goodies for sale.

I am dropping off my Mother's exhibit pieces on Friday late afternoon. Lucky me, she is picking up everything on Sunday afternoon.

I took pictures of her entries and will load all the images into a photo album later this morning.

Wanted to share this:



My Aunt passed away a couple years ago. Her scissors were given to my Mother. My Mother used Forget Me Not freebie from the Drawn Thread web page to create a fob & scissors sheath for my Aunt's scissors. What a special keepsake!

Friendship Project (NANI)

How do you like this sampler? Seven NANI members (EGA chapter) participated in this project. My theme was alphabets. I put in the center section, outside border, and dividing borders/bands. Then, it was passed around every month. My idea was to stitch their names around the outside - the date - some critters (bunnies or birds). I think it may need a small border around that, too. I haven't graphed the names yet. I'm just happy how it turned out.

Thank you - Thank you - Thank you. I hope you are as thrilled with your samplers as I am with mine.
