Gentle Friends, I haven't posted any stitching in the longest time. Not that I have been stitching - a little here and a little there, but I wanted to finish up the trip report first. The two pieces I've been working on the most - outside of a couple of Exchange Pieces - are.......
........."Winter Wonderland" and......
"Rosy Morning" - both of these pieces were designed by Blackbird Designs.... with Rosy Morning, I really liked the idea of personalizing it with a family member, so I dug a bit on the old family tree and found Miss Martha Adelaide Hickox and the year of her birth - she is one of my Maternal G-G-Grandmothers and was from upstate New York.
That's about it for today sports fans. Thanks for stopping by, do stop again!!
Take care,
edgar
