First 2009 finish

Here I am with my first finish for 2009!!!! It is LHN "Always and Forever" done on PTPlus 32ct Dill linen with an overdyed thread from Sparklies called Sahara..... DH fell in love with it as he says for it's simplicity! Tonight I am going to an EGA chapter meeting...only my second but I am looking forward to it as I've already done my Pilates workout and had lunch with a friend at my favorite greek restaurant! So I feel at least I ate healthy today!

In other exciting news for those of you who watch "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" they are doing a house about a mile from my house! Yesterday we walked Storm down there and today I went before Pilates and TY was there! And he is so sweet for the few minutes I saw him...full of energy and smiles! Tomorrow they move the family back in and it should prove to be interesting since the streets are rather narrow for that big bus! I do think DH is voluteering tomorrow unfortunately I'm working but I am planning to stop after work.....more news to follow!
I am grateful for sunny days off.....

May your needle fly through your fabric.........

    1. I agree! The Always and Forever is simple but that's the point and that's the root of its' beauty.

  5. Very pretty! I love this design - I just stitched it up on grey fabric with a dark blue thread (to match our wedding colors). I haven't posted pictures yet - it's an anniversary gift for my DH.

  6. I love this LHN design, I nearly did this for a recent wedding but picked a Bent Creek one in the end.

  13. What a lovely finish Juls. I'm so glad I got to see it IRL when I was there.

    It was so wonderful to see you again. Thank you so much for making my day at SP so special by baking your grandmother's delicious raisin cake. YUMMO!!!! I forgot to get the recipe but can hopefully get it another time.

    Looking forward to our 'Scraps' SAL. Will 'talk' to you soon. Hi to DH & Storm.

    hugs, Margaret

  17. I loved that show! I'm so sad they don't do it anymore.
    I couldn't wait for the "Move that bus!" part. It was awesome every time! And the family's reaction...and all those additional surprises! It was awesome!
