Weekend Recap

It was a dreary, gray weekend her e in NC. Perfect weather for stitching and watching the big game.
On Saturday I met Myra for lunch. We met in Asheboro at the Hobby Lobby. We both had a couple of things to pick up. I got some trims for finishing.
After that it was off to lunch at a local restaurant. After caching up on everything we did a little holiday exchange.



Myra gave me a wonderful mug mat that she stitched out of some of the BBD fabrics. It is now on the table next to my stitching chair. I also got one of her little birds. He is sitting on my mantle where I can see him and some of my furry friends can't reach him.
Myra also gave me one of the fabric Valentines that she made and some Russian tea mix. I appreciate the gifts mouth especially since I do not sew and Myra is so talented.



I also had something for Myra. I stitched this small freebie from Chateau des Perelles. I stitched it using the colors that I have been stitching the BBD Autumn Loose Feathers Design with. I had stitched a bunch of the summer freebie.



I definitely need to stitch up more of these little fall ones.
After lunch Myra and I went our separate ways. I went to the grocery store, along with lots of people shopping for Super Bowl parties.
The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet. I stitched on my Christmas tree ornament. I hope to get back to my Loose Feathers soon.
I get a haircut today! Yea! I am way overdue!

Happy Monday!

Both gifts are so lovely! How lucky you both are to have stitching buddies nearby.

How lovely that you got to meet up with Myra again - I'm so envious that you get to spend time with someone who shares your interests. None of my friends are stitchers!
Can't wait for the concert Chris - 10 weeks and counting! lol.

Wonderful gifts, both given and received. Lucky you, receiving one of Myra's birds. They're gorgeous.
I have that little freebie in my stash and it looks lovely stitched up! I should really dig it out. It's just the perfect stitch for spring.
