Surprise!!!

Friday's mail brought a surprise to me. Anne of Doll's Musings had a giveaway for followers and I was the lucky winner. And I do mean it when I say lucky. She sent to me a whole package full of goodies along with a beautiful card


There was a tea and chocolates, and ribbons, and a beautiful piece of fabric with gorgeous floss


but the most precious gift I could ever imagine was a treasure box made by Anne herself


I can almost feel the joy, see the smile on her face when she was stitching this precious piece. Now I'm smiling looking at it. I love the blossoms and the bird and will cherish this box forever. Thank you Ann from the bottom of my heart.

I can't believe it but I do have a 'stitchy' update. I was working on M. Quertier 1799 and here is my progress:


I think I'm half way done, there is only twelve more motifs left to stitch and the writing. If I could stitch one motif a day I could be done by the end of the month! 

So long my friends,
Evalina

  2. Hi, Evanlina,
    What wonderful winnings from Anne...you are so lucky! M. Quertier looks great. I have completed a couple of the half motifs in a day, but it took me 3-4 hours to do so.

  12. Congratulations you lucky, lucky girl! I admire your stitching. I wish I had the patience. (Almost hate to tell you of the started embroidery projects, everything from a cross stitch map of Oxfordshire to a tapestry of wildflowers that just needs the background) Perhaps I'll take some stitching to England for the summer. Away form my Vancouver work and my Vancouver house I might get somewhere. :) Have a lovely rest of the week and I'll check in with you soon. :)
