First Finish of 2014

 I finished Life is not measured last week .. I have loved this quote for years and it was a delight to stitch ...
Life is not measured by Lizzie*Kate
stitched with recommended fabric and threads

I had another quick finish last week ... this is a freebie found here.  There are a bunch of free designs on this site .. all finished like little pears.  So cute ... all of them are cute, I can see a wood bowl or wicker basket filled with little stitched pears ... now to actually try and make it look like a pear!
Sampler Pear VI  by Samplers and Santas
stitched on a misc piece of fabric
with recommended DMC threads

Thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes ... it was a great day!  We started with a get together at my dad's for a Seahawk game ... they won!!!  Then we all went out to dinner.  It was a great day and a great way to turn 60!

My son, Chris, made this banner for me .. it was hanging on my dad's garage when I arrived ... so much fun!

and here's all of us at dinner ...
 Winning the same on my birthday put us in the NFC West Championship game.  We are playing the 49ers on Sunday at 3:30 ... and this city is going crazy .. I love it!  We are all getting together again on Sunday for the game .. GO SEAHAWKS!  Next stop, The Superbowl!!!!!!!!!!!!
 This picture was taken by a local TV station ... it was a rally in downtown Seattle last Friday ... see crazy!


Thank you again for all your lovely comments and birthday wishes ... they meant a lot to me *smile*

I hope you find your Joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for football  ...

Happy belated birthday, Michele. It certainly looks like you had quite a celebration and what a great son to make you that awesome banner.

I love all of the Freebie Pear designs although I have yet to stitch one.

Love the Life is not measured piece.

So happy that the Seahawks won, Michelle :) I'll be rooting for them in the Superbowl, too!

Happy Belated Birthday to you--I'll be 60 next year--whew!! Where have those years gone?!

Love your new finishes... I just pulled the pear chart, too, but I'm not sure I'll get to it this year. I do love Marly's designs :)

Very nice finishes. :)
I have that pear one done - the only one of those that I have done I *believe*? - but haven't gotten it sewed up yet. All of them are super cute though.

Wonderful finishes, I love the Life one. Don't know how I missed that, as LK is one of my favorite designers. Hmmm, think I need to add it to my stash to get list, you enabler you, it's a great thought.
