Stitching at Amy's!

I went to Amy's yesterday to stitch and shop and eat and chat! We had a lot of fun. The time always flies! It was so nice to get away with friends. Here is a pic of all the great stash I got...

Stash from Amy

I got a fat 1/2 of 40 ct. Light Examplar by Lakeside Linens (I just couldn't resist it)! I'm such a sucker for LL linens, especially in such a pretty color! I also got the newest LHN "Colonial Women" and BBD "The Simple Things" along with some threads and my favorite needles. Lastly, I got the one LHN Saltbox thread pack that I was missing. I want to stitch all four on one piece of fabric. I decided to start it yesterday while I was at Amy's.

Blessed thread packs start

I'm stitching it on the 40 ct. Light Examplar linen I got. I'm really loving it so far! :) Well, nothing else going on here. Looking forward to the end of the school year at the end of this week. We will probably be going down to Florida next week if Matthew is feeling better (he caught a bad cold, but I think is on the mend). Well, going to get back to stitching! Write soon!

  6. What a fun day you had!!! 40 ct. Light Examplar has to be one of my favorites, I can truly understand why you had to buy it!!! LHS Saltboxes are going to look lovely on the Lt. Examplar!

  7. What a great idea, to stitch those saltbox samplers on one piece of fabric and such lovely fabric it is. I don't know how you stitch and visit--I just can't do both at once. Great looking stash, enjoy your Sunday. Hope Matthew feels much better tomorrow.

  9. Each time I read your blog, I can't help but notice the similarity of our taste in stitching projects/supplies. I just bought a 1/2 yard of Lakeside Linens 40-count Exemplar, a little darker than the Light Examplar but otherwise the same. I LOVE this fabric and will definitely buy more.
