Gathering Together


Gathering Together Pinkeep
Scattered Seed
Stitched with called for DMC fibers one strand over two on 36 count linen



French General fabric stolen from (Old, old, old) uncompleted kit.  Not enough to finish the Pinkeep, but colors are perfect.  Help a girl out if you know this line of French General fabric.  



Where have I been and what have I been doing?  This very neglected blog would indicate I have disappeared, not so.  I started teaching a Strength and Fitness class to seniors at Fifty Forward Center three days a week.  My brother and I (mostly him) have been doing repairs to a barn on our farm.  I declared war on the not so dear deer.  They eat my roses just as they are beginning to bloom and the raised vegetable garden they consider their personal garden.  For those keeping score, the deer are winning.  Lucy (the cat) has been in training for the cat Olympics.  Her events are speed shedding and wake-me-up-at-three a.m.  My long arm quilter, Primary Care Physician, Dentist and Ophthalmologist have all retired which has kept me busy on a search for replacements.  The cicadas, heat, rain and neglect have left my yard in a very neglected state.  Whew!  Still stitching from stash and loving every discovery of older designs and projects.  Give a girl a break, bog has been neglected but girl is super busy.
