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!

Wonderful gifts!
I'm not a football fan, but was behind someone in the grocery store who spent over $400 on food for their party. :)
Sounds like a great time...and such lovely gifts you swapped.
How nice that you and Myra live close enough to get together now and then, Chris... Gifts, both given and received are wonderful!
I love all the little birds!!
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.
Your little "freebies" are darling!!! Love those fibers!

I had fun Chris and just love my little ornament/fob. :o) Have a great week!
Lovely gifts all around! Myra's sewing and finishing amaze me ~ I wish I lived closer so she could teach me a thing to two!
the exchanges you did for each other are so pretty. Maybe I will get lucky and win her bird. So pretty. So nice to have a stitching buddy so close
Your gifts to each other are beautiful. Friendship truly is a work of heart.
It sounds like you both had a great day. Loved the little gifts, the bird is very sweet. Enjoy your day!
You both made adorable gifts for each other.
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.
