Leaving on a Jet Plane

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Well....not really. But tomorrow my son and I are driving to Knoxville, TN. My sister, her family and my Mom all live there. While driving my Mom's car to Knoxville, we will stop for an overnight visit with my daughter in Nashville. Then drive on to stay and visit with my family in Knoxville and then return home on Sunday. It will feel like a jet plane trip....fast and hurried. I can't stay longer as my son has to go to Chicago to visit his girlfriend Amy....and you all know that I have work to do.

So, while I'm gone I've decided to give something away...

Leave a comment if you want one and when I return on Monday I will draw two names.
One pillow each is the prize. These were done by Moda fabrics for Blackbird Designs. They were released with our Beach House fabric line.
I should have ironed the rick rack down in place...I promise I will do that before sending these out. Each pillow could be used as a pincushion or placed on a shelf.


Don't we all need one more alphabet?

Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend...."see" you on Monday.

Alma

    I would love a pillow, have tons of fobs but very few pillows that could be used as a pincushion. (some of my poor fobs are serving double duty.) Enjoy your family visit, TN is beautiful in the summer.

    Still thinking about magnets from yesterday's post (well I think it was yesterday here in Wales). Perhaps you already do this, but I'm new-ish to cross stitch and keep loosing my place on my chart. I got two magnetic strips ready to make the needle holder and found that putting one on the back and one on the front of a cross stitch pattern makes a wonderful place-keeping marker as well as a place to put my needles!
