I had a great day on Saturday! Nine of the members of the
Southern California Cross Stitchers Yahoo Group met at
We, of the Needle for a get-together.
Kathy, Susan,
Shaunterria, Sandy,
Mindi,
Cherise,
Ruth, Janis, and I stitched and shopped and traded and ate and talked and talked all day! I brought six different WIPs to stitch, but only did four of them.
I started Treats in the Lizzie*Kate Boo! Club series. This is part 2 of 12. I stitched some of the border and one of the candy corn pieces.

I did ONE row on my Lizzie*Kate Very Scary Mystery Sampler. This is the first time I used Weeks Dye Works floss and was happy to see the changing shades of color in that dark green line! Several of the other ladies in the group are also stitching this one.

I finished the corner flower motifs and the lazy daisy stitches (my first time) on
Teresa Wentzler's Hummingbird. Now that all the over 2 stitching is done, I can start on the hummingbird in the center, which is stitched over 1.

I bought some Gentle Arts Sampler Threads (GAST) at the LNS for Quaker Moon. This is also the first time I've used GAST. I stitched the owl's eyes in Gold Leaf which is so nice and shiny!

Then when I got home, I stitched on All's Good in the 'Hood from
Kincavel Krosses. I stitched more of the border along the corner and bottom using DMC 115, variegated garnet.

Love the changing border on All's Good in the 'Hood. Great progress on all your WIPs.
You've a nice collection of things going...I'm going to really like the hummer one, I can tell... it's looking so pretty!
Wow you got loads of stitching done and they are all fab. I really like how that DMC variegated thread is working up. I have a skein of that in my stash somewhere. Great progress and glad you had a lovely get together :-)
Lovely stitching.

Hello Debbie
beautiful stitching and have a good week!
Debbie, you always get so much done! Your stitching get-together sounds like a blast. I wish I had something like that in my area.
Hi Debbie. Wow you have been busy. I really love the Lizzie Kate one. It is getting me in the Halloween mood even though we have a long way to go yet. The variegated DMC thread also looks lovely. I will have to give them another go.
You got so much accomplished! Congrats. I have been a fan of WDW and Gast, with the exception of the black flosses in eitber set. They seem to knot and fray too much for me. I always use 310 in their place.
Wow - did you ever have a productive day! Great WIPs!
You got so much done in one day Debbie. Great progress on all the pieces. Sounds like such a fun day. Sure wish there was a group in my area. Looks like Hummingbird might be your next finish.

Goodness, that is a lot of stitching! Way to go!
All of your WIP's look awesome! Really love the Hummingbird can't wait to see it finished with the Hummingbird on it.
Happy Stitching
