Some Pretties

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I hope that everyone in the US has been having a great time eating leftovers, shopping, watching football, and stitching.
I wanted to share another finish that Myra put together for me. This is one of those kits that I stitched up and it was too large for me to work my finishing skills on.



Isn't the ruches ribbon lovely?



Lovely backing fabric. It is just perfect for this design.
Thank you Myra!!
I had lunch on Friday with one of my dear girl friends and we exchanged Christmas presents.
Look at these lovely things...



Look at this lovely smocked ornament she made me. I am thrilled.



And she gifted me with this wonderful project bag. Isn't the fabric wonderful. Stitching friends are the best.
I have not stitched at all this weekend so I am going to try and get some done now.
Have a wonderful evening. Welcome to my new followers.

Love the finish by you and Myra--ruched ribbon is so beautiful, isn't it? And that smocked ornament reminds me of my grandmother--she used to do the most beautiful smocked dresses for me when I was a girl. Sure wish I had even one of them now...
