FRANKENSTEIN AND FRANKENSTINA

I hope that you followed the Halloween Blog Hop link i posted on our FB page last week.  You may have found the free "Frankie" pouch pattern posted by Debbie from The Wooden Spool Blog.  One of the granddaughters wanted to do a girl with hair so we added Frankenstina.  The other wanted RED eyes instead of black.  Love that don't you?  This was their first stitching lesson and they were beyond enthusiastic.   With a little help they stitched the eyes on, stitched the hair on and followed the little line across for the mouth.  They were so tickled with these that they jumped out of bed early in the morning and dashed downstairs to retrieve them from their special little hanger.

I think that i had almost more fun than they did.

Thanks Debbie . . for the adorable pattern.

REBECCA'S SALTBOX ANGEL

Rebecca took my Saltbox Angel Class at Bolt Cloverdale and sent me a photo of her completed project.   I don't know . . look at that angel face . . makes me think that i should just maybe redo my own.   Isn't she perfect?   Wonderful stitching Rebecca and thank you for sharing the photo.  The class was so much fun - hoping to add more classes to my 2017 schedule.

There is another version of Saltbox Angel pattern on our website - with a kit also available.

I have a whole file of photos from many of you . . and from shows and events . .  and will be catching up with the posting now that this years' shows are behind us.
