Stash ...

Here's some pictures of my stash from our shopping trip to The Attic ...

Ruth is the one responsible for showing me and Chris the Erica Michaels chart .. there's an adorable cat with antlers to stitch up :) I fell in love with the Rooster immediately! Although I told Karen I wished they had it in red! lol .. I might find a way to add a bit of red to it .. maybe red scissors??


This chart was a hit with a few of us .. I think Chris and Ruth both bought it, Sharon too maybe? The chart reads .. Why is it when I'm halfway through Creative joys diminish. It's more fun to start a piece than it ever is to finish. lol I'm sure we can all relate! And I love how the piece really isn't finished! This will definately be my next start .. I love the fabric and floss colors I picked :)

I got the Attic Needleworks chart thinking it would be fun to add 2 more women to the picture, we'll see if that ever happens! lol

Looks like I was in a very brown mood! I got the heart buttons for my Friendship RR. I was thinking they might be a fun to add to the piece when it's all done. I don't think you can really see it, but the yellow button is a unsmiley face button. Cracked me up and I just had to buy it.

Before heading out to the cabin, we stopped in at a quilt shop. We were looking for this catcus fabric. Goes great for the backing of a pinkeep or flatfold.
of course you can't walk into a quilt shop and walk out with only one piece of fabric, can you?? I can't ...
Looks like this weekend might be a quiet one. My dad is really sick with the crud going around, so our night time Easter egg hunt will have to be reschedule from this weekend to next weekend. Probably better since I'm starting to feel a bit better, but not 100% yet. I'm off to stitch and watch some Friday night tv.
I hope you find your joy in your stitches ...
I'm grateful for quiet friday nights ...

I'm luv'n the stash! What fun! Adding the buttons at the end of the RR will really be cute! I, too, have a few charms and beads to add to mine, but thought the end would be a better place - for it is hard to use the hoops or Q-snaps when there are beads/buttons/charms in the way! Looks like you all had a great time together!
Have a good holiday weekend!

Hi, Michele-
You are going to be busy. I am in awe of anyone who can go to a lns and not get overwelmed and are able to BUY things! I should send you to do my pickings!!

I have to say - the piece about not finishing is too close for comfort for me- I'd hear all my unfinished pieces crying out to me - finish me! finish me! LOL!

Enjoy your stash. You stitch a lot so you'll be needing another trip to the lns before you know it!

Love all your new stash. I am definitely going to have to find my way to The Attic. Your rooster piece I think is my favorite.

I should have peeked at your stash before we left the Attic, I didn't notice some of the patterns you bought. The Ewe and Eye and Friends "Spring" pattern and LK "Happy Easter" are cute. I also didn't notice the Little House "Attic Needlework". Hope you are feeling better.
