    Enjoyed, as I always do, another great flosstube. All your projects are amazing. I'm so glad you are going to finish your beach towel needlepoint Carolyn. I know your nieces will love them. It will help to keep those memories alive of days when they were younger. Childhood memories at the beach are still so precious to me, even at 72. I love September too. Mostly because it's getting cooler, the leaves are just starting to get some color and the sky is so blue. I'm not involved in any samplers at the moment.I did just start my first Autumn Saltbox piece. Loving both of you BAP projects. It will be fun to watch the progress. Also, glad the Beatrix Potter piece is going to be finished. Hoping it works out for you Anna, to finish Tom kitten. Your little grand daughter will enjoy having it in her nursery. You both never cease to keep your viewers smiling. Happy knitting, stitching, and teaching. Til I view again, ❤ya both, Donna

      @@we.are.curiouscrafters To answer your question, I am doing the second Fall Saltbox first. It seemed to have the most fall colors and was my favorite. I probably won't do the first one until next fall. By the time I finish the one I've started it will be time to start the winter ones. Oh, by the way, if you have your birthday before your next posting, Enjoy every minute of it. Do something extra special!! , Donna

    I am so pleased to hear that someone else started their BAP this week…I am working on stitch 200 as I watch. Teaching story…young teacher fresh out of teachers college is trying to explain what an “empty set” is to a group of grade 9 math students and finally asked “ how many people in the room are senior citizens?” A puzzled girl exclaimed”but we don’t know how old you are” to someone barely mid20s.

    More on Beatrix Potter - she wrote all those cute books, but she was also a naturalist and conservationist - she owned a farm in the Lake District in England and raised Herdwicke sheep. She donated her land to the Lake District Trust. Also there’s a chart available for the Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler - she didn’t stitch it, but it was in her home - it’s a very pretty Quaker.

    Mary Barr is looking great. I did what Carolyn suggested and used a slightly darker version of a couple of the colours. My linen is Fox and Rabbit Ballet Slippers which in my version anyway is quite yellow with a pink cast. Some ghosting too but the upstepped colours are working well.
