Just another invite to my new board. So far we have 70 members and it's been wonderful getting to meet all these stitchers and quilters that have visited my board, but I've never gotten to know. And then there are the ones that I already knew that I'm so glad to have as a part of our little community.
We've already had our first contest and first exchange, and plan to have many more in the future for those that are interested.
So this is a formal invite, not that it's necessary, for y'all to come see what we have to offer. If/when we get to 100 members there will be a fantastic giveaway. I'm already getting things together for it.
Also, this board is for stitchers, quilters, sewers, crocheters, knitters....just any sort of craft that you like to do. We LOVE learning from others about their passions.
Okay, off to get busy. Come on by if you get the chance!

Happy Monday to my friends....
Long time no write, huh? Sorry about that. I keep saying I'm going to post once a week, but looks like this time it is once a month. I AM GOING TO DO BETTER. There, I said it!
Before I go any further and show you some pictures, I'd like to invite you, my readers, to join my new message board. We discuss cross stitch, quilting, knitting, embroidery....just anything creative that your little heart desires. We share tips, tutorials and have a fantastic contest going on right now. I've put the link in the sidebar, but will put it here, too. Please come try us out. We're new, but I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Now in other news, I have been busy doing a bit of sewing/quilting and would like to show you my first free motion quilted purse. HORRIBLE pictures, but hopefully you can get the idea. I had so much fun making this, and already have orders to make three more. WOOOHOOOO!
This is the side of the purse showing how it ties to make it smaller or larger.
This is the inside, showing the pockets that go all the way around.
And this is the front.
I will be working on more this week. They are just too much fun to make!
I was involved in a pin pillow exchange, and I received a WONDERFUL pillow from sweet Paula.
She said she read on my blog that I loved red, and she did GOOD!! Thank you again, Paula. I love it and it has a special place in my home. :)
I signed up for a giveaway on Mylene's board and lookie what I got! This is most cute and it's being used right now with my new scissors. Thank you, Mylene. I love it!
I have a few finishes to share with you. I've been so lax in posting my finishes. I apologize for that.
First off is "Briar Rabbit" by LaDDa. I just LOVE all of their patterns, and this was a fun stitch. I had to change almost every color because I didn't use their recommended fabric, but I love it. Now to decide what kind of finish it will receive.
This is "Winter Sampler" by LHN - another of my favorite designers. I started this one quite a while ago, got "startitis" and put it aside to start something new. I finally decided it was time to finish it before it was Winter again. LOL
This last one for now is "Cast Your Spells" by Stacy Nash. I've had it stitched forever, but finally did the finishing on it. This was a really fun stitch and I love how it turned out. :) This was a kit and I finished it using the supplies provided.
FRONT:
BACK:
That's all the pictures for now. I have something in the works, but don't want to divulge all about it yet, but let me just tease you with the words MODA and jelly rolls. :) When I know more, I will SCREAM all about it to you. In the meantime, I'll have to leave you wondering. Mean, aren't I? :)
I hope y'all have a most wonderful Monday and please do come visit the message board. Each and every one of you have something to share, and one can never have too many friends, can we?
I wish you enough....
With love,
Carolyn
