In my part of the world we say you are a fool if your passion for a pursuit overcomes all practical sense. I am a stitching fool, and I stitch foolishness.

Lovely Lady's Worke Box

Today I took the Lady's Worke Box workshop with Ellen Chester and the Lake Michigan Sampler Guild.


This is how it will (hopefully) look when it's complete.


This is what I managed to accomplish in class today.

Actually, considering how little I usually manage to stitch in class, I did quite well.

It was a very enjoyable class and I was able to spend time with friends from days at Jeannine's sampler gathering. They made me feel very welcome.

Ellen, of course, brought the models for her trunk show.


When I saw the array, I realized that there are a lot of these pieces sitting in the finishing basket, waiting to turn into something.

I probably should spend the rest of the year finish-finishing instead of stitching.

  1. Ah, but stitching is so much more fun than finishing. Although there is that moment of complete self-satisfaction upon admiring a newly finished piece of finishing. Pat, pat, pat on the back!

  3. So pretty! You will have it stitched soon. The finishing makes me nervous, all that cutting so close to the stitching ;-)
    Loved seeing the trunk show - very nice!!
