Stockings for Sept and Oct

Sunday, November 8, 2009



The patterns are written and handed off to the printer. We still have another proofing process to go through and then they will be printed. The projected completion date is next Friday and will ship out to the distributors then. This means they will be in the shops in about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks. Loose feathers will follow a couple of weeks after the stocking patterns. We are a little behind....but will catch up someday....not sure exactly when that will be, but we are always hopeful!

Don't forget the drawing will be on Monday morning.

Friday morning, Barb and I will leave for Spring Green, WI. We are driving to Country Sampler to teach a quilting class. The project is a long harvest table runner. Maggie Bonanomi and Stacy Nash will be there too. Hope to see you there! I think the shop will be decorated for Christmas, so we can hardly wait to see.

Until later!

Alma

    Wonderful stockings, I love the little stockings, it has been so many years since I have stitched something that really I am a beginner...still... so they are fun giving gifts.
    Have a wonderful time in Green Spring...some day I will make one of the many events you teach at, until then I can dream.

    I just love these stockings. Because of your blog and some others I just "discovered" counted cross stitch and am now addicted. I would LOVE to win these patterns. They would make very special Xmas gifts for both my mom and sister. Kristie
