​Happy December! 

Have you been dashing through the snow? After nearly three years we actually did get a dusting of snow. It was so pretty falling! It wasn't even an inch deep but schools were closed any way because the temps were so cold that black ice had formed and there were several crashes on the highways. Welcome to the South! 

I have designed, stitched, and uploaded four new Small Christmas designs and hope that you will enjoy them! The PDFs include Fit to One Page, Color, and Black & White charts along with complete finishing instructions.

Christmas is coming way too fast but I have finished decorating inside whth the able assistance of my 8 and 2 year old grandsons.

Polly, Rebecca, and I got the season off to a happy start yesterday. After breakfast at my house, we went to nearby Old Salem. Jenny Garwood showed us some wonderful MESDA samplers and it was a pleasure to listen to her tell us about the girls who stitched them and the schools they may have attended.

We talked about which ones I should reproduce. This is so exciting!!!

My gorgeous 1779 Queen Stitch motif sampler is charted and model materials are in the talented hands of Ann Blalock. Now I need to finish charting my 1814 Scottish Ten Commandment Jacobite sampler, stitch a Scottish Castle Etui, and get several other items ready for the March 2025 Nashville Needlework Market.

After our time at MESDA we went to the wonderful Candle Tea hosted by the women of Home Moravian Church and Volunteers. Next stop was at the fabulous Salem Creek Gift Shop and we adjourned to Village Tavern for an early supper before heading home. It was a lovely day.

May you be able to get everything you need to do done, and make time to enjoy the beauty of this Christmas Season.

Tomorrow will be a great day for putting my Blinkies in the trees and lights across the front shrubs. Checking things off my list day by day.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
