    I went to Elsa Williams School
    Of Needlework in Massachusetts. She was in California then. I took a class there. I loved her stitchery. She was known for her crewel stitchery. We had lunch there. Her home had once belonged to Winslow Homer the artist. She did crewel work on her upholstered chairs in her living room. She did every bedroom upstairs in different types of stitchery. Quilts, needlepoint, crewel etc. at lunch we sat at a glass top table where we could see the chair seats matched the China. Beautiful. We had cold asparagus soup etc delicious. What a fun class. I still have the crewel patterns in cloth from that trip.

I went to Stitchery X-Press the other day and all I can say is WOW!!!! This store is amazing and I live only 5 minutes away from my home. Guess where I will be shopping. Brenda if and when you are out this way to Stitchery X-Press please let me know I would love to meet you. Cindy and Brook loved seeing you last time at their store. I turn 72 on my birthday this Saturday. I will be stitching that day and may go out with my hubby to dinner.

    I love how you plan your challenges and that you´re so enthusiastic about them! Thanks for the idea of a Olympics challenge! I made my own by assigning each sport a theme, so for example riding would be "something with an animal" or surfing would be "something with water". I then looked through my wips to find matching wips to the themes and work on them on the day when there is an event. I tried to find a match for every one of my wips and I think I did it. Now to see if I can really stitch on every one of them during the Olympics... 😄 Greetings from Germany

    Fabulous plans! I’m getting back into stitching after a couple of decades. The cross stitching world has changed a lot since I last worked Dimensions GOLD stockings for my children and grandchildren. Or maybe I’ve just been clueless. 😊 Question: I’ve begun collecting the Fabulous House pattern series. However, I’ve not started them. I would like to stitch all of them on one piece of fabric as you are, but I’d like to start with house #2 (January-ish) so that the houses correspond somewhat to the 12 months. Therefore Houses #11 and #1 would coincide with October and December. I know. I know. This is my project. But I would like your thoughts. Btw, seeing your Fabulous Houses is what prompted me to order the released patterns last month. 🏠 ❤
