Post!

Hello everyone! Hope you are all healthy and doing well! It's amazing that I've been able to still post every Sunday. Next Sunday I might not. I am expecting my exchange goodies so if I get the package next week, I will certainly do a post. Friday was the day to ship our exchange packages to our partners. I am 2 days late! Mine will go out tomorrow. Yesterday, I went to Hob Lob and found a few more trims, a trinket, and a nice display easel for the exchange. Here is the Hare Sampler, all done up and sitting in its easel..

So pretty, I'm going to have to stitch me up one! Carol, I used your cording as trim. The easel is the perfect size and doesn't overpower the design. I saw metal and other wood easels but this one

I thought would be the one. Here is the back..

The lovely French General fabric for the backing. I was going to sew up a pincushion

but decided not to. I signed up for this exchange in January and it's time to get

the whole kit and kaboodle into the mail! I've been so distracted lately and suffering from 

insomnia that I need to just make life easier for myself. There have been other

exchanges in FB groups that I'm in but I think I'll give myself a break.

Sandra, I'm so sorry I gave you the wrong info on the date of the PN&PS issue. It

is the Spring 2019 issue that Hare Sampler comes from. I hope you found some other

patterns to stitch in the Summer issue that you bought. I need to be mindful of any

info I post here.

Speaking of kit and kaboodle, here's the whole exchange that will be headed 

out to North Carolina on Monday..

I finally remembered to take pictures! My partner likes LHN, 36-40ct fabrics, 

WDW/GAST floss, trims, and most important..Jelly Bellys!

I don't have any stitching to show, lol! Haven't been feeling it but today I will

get back to work on Dear House. Jo had a good idea to stitch the text on a 

blue fabric so you're not spending half your lifetime stitching in the blue!

As for the elephant in the room, the county I live in now has 12 cases of

Covid-19. To amp up the worrying, my daughter, who is a 

non-medical caregiver, went to a large nursing home to check on

7 clients. They're now taking the temperature of every single 

caregiver that walks in the door. My daughter had a normal temp but the

2nd one came up as 100 degrees. So they panicked and told her

to go to the hospital for a test! She texted me saying she was there and

won't know the results until tomorrow or Tuesday! She feels fine she says.

And I am not feeling well. I know what the symptoms are for corona. I 

do have a cough but it's one I've had since the 2nd week of February,

when corona was still in China. It still scares me though. Other 50+ year

olds are dying because they have underlying medical issues. I also

felt a bit hot but it might be stress. I have to add that it's been pretty

windy here the last couple of days, the beginning of our windy season maybe.

I always get a stuffed head and sneezing a lot when this happens.

So I'll keep an eye on how I'm feeling. If anyone prays, would you include us, heck,

the entire world, in your prayers? 

Take care, you all. It's a good thing we stitch. We can bury our heads in our stash

or on our latest project. 

See you next time!
