Great mail and stitching...

I received a lovely surprise in the mail yesterday

in my favourite colours!


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

    Pam was sweet to send you such a lovely brooch. I have a feeling she knew it was your favorite color. Nice start on your free motion project. I'm sure it will turn out great.

    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

    Wow that's amazing. I am always in awe of someone who can use a sewing machine - and free motion - clever, clever, clever.

    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

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
