Great mail and stitching...

I received a lovely surprise in the mail yesterday
from Pam Kellogg....a pretty brooch
in my favourite colours!


Isn't it pretty? 
Thank you SO much Pam!!


AND...
I finally completed one section of my

  10. You're quite welcome MA! Like I said in my note, perhaps it will keep your Winter coat from feeling so heavy! LOL!!!

    Love your free motion embroidery. I have a free motion foot for my machine and I've tried it but I think (know) I prefer handwork.

    Love & hugs, Pam

  15. Is the wallhanging from Carol in NZ's class? that looked interesting but I am too busy to take another class. Did you do her journal one? I have thought about it and hope she does it again.

    Pam is a sweetheart. do you know she only lives about a hour north of me but we have never got together. One of these days we must.

    Hugs
