Lucky you to be in Florida. Loved the photo of the Grand and your stitchery case...is gorgeous. Also loved the 2010 recap... A fabulous variety of quilts. All wonderful.

I love a good pin and needle keep and a bit on hand stitching is always a nice change! Love your little visitor from Florida!

Nice finish! And Audrey! She is just getting so big! I can't get over her. She's beautiful, Mary!

Oh Mary - your hand stitching is beautiful - love the sewing case and pinkeep! And, what a Cutie Pie - you probably won't get much sewing done with such sweet company (smile)!!

Sandi Linn Andersen said...

Beautiful, Mary, and how lovely to have stitched it while you are in Florida! It should bring back lovely memories of sea and sand.....and warm weather. I'll bet you will not miss the 15 below that we will experience here on Thursday night. I would love to miss it but no chance of leaving Minnesota right now! LOL!

Kim said...

Wonderful stitching going on there in Florida, but the happy face has got to be all about playtime with little Audrey. You both look very happy. :)

1. Wish I was in Florida
2. Love your embroidery,, it's meticulous.
3. Need a needlekeep like yours--my needles fell out of the wooden case and are now all at the bottom of my sewing bag & ready to get me when I rustle around in there.
