on bringing a few of her designs with me.

Plus I just love making drums--Have I mentioned that??:)))

 Here is my collection so far of the Early Americans.

Well there is a bit of what I have been up to.  I still have quite a few more stitches to post about.

I am not very organized either.  These stitches are in no order.  I swear I am going to try to get

better about blogging as I really like to have this as a document of what I have stitched, I can't tell you how many times I come back to this blog and look up what I have done!!!!

We just had our annual retreat this last week.  It was Tuesday thru Friday.  So I will be

blogging about that very soon.  

I also entered some stitched pieces in the county fair and will be picking my things up on Sunday

so there will be an update on that too.

Thanks for stopping by,

Hope you are all having a great weekend:)

Happy Stitching, Joan
