I LOVE mail!!


A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to win the Birthday drawing on Marie Alton's Blog. (You can visit Marie here.) The package arrived today - look at my goodies - eight skeins of Vicki Clayton's hand-dyed #12 silks from Marie's personal stash. Thanks so much Marie!! I can't wait to use them. You can see more of Vikki's wonderful hand dyed threads here.

I'm off to Moncton today, to teach a class tomorrow at The Covered Bridge Quiltery, one of my favourite shops to visit. I'll be back soon...

Piece,
Linda

You lucky duck. I really love the Vicki Clayton stuff. I bought a bunch of her ribbons and stuff last spring but haven't started stitching with them yet.

So November is coming. Do you want to do a month of CQ Mondays? I have been looking forward to getting all my travels out of the way so I can spend a month working on my 2 CQ socks. If I had a buddy or two to accept the challenge, it would be fabulous. Next Monday would be the first Monday. Do you know anyone else who might want to join in?

Sure Gail, I'll take the Challenge. Next Monday I'm away for the Retreat though... I'll have to get busy this week I guess, so I have something to show... I wonder if Ann V is working on some CQ and would like to join us?

Yay ... Glad you love them! Happy Stitching!

I'm not sure if Vikki does much #12 now ... but I've used her Premium Floss ... and while a bit finer ... lovely to work with!

Enjoy ... Marie
