Stitches...

I love to sit and stitch in the evening when DH is watching TV.  While I was on my trip, we visited a quilt show in Springfield, MO.  The show was lovely and I came home with many ideas ;-), but the vendors? Oh my!!  I have never seen so many vendors at a quilt show, and apparently many others hadn't either because the vendor area was busy! LOL  It was almost like a craft fair in the vendor 'mall'.  Of course, I found lots of wonderful things! :-)

One of my favorite discoveries was these little woolie kits at Sew Graceful Quilting's booth.  The pattern is Little Bits by Joan, #308 Punkin Seeds.  It was so easy to stitch up because the wool was in the kit, and I have limited wool sources here. I gotta tell you~ I am in love with Joan's patterns!!  :-)

I have a few more I am going to work on so I can change them out in the frame for the different season's. :-)
(I think if you click on the photo, it will enlarge a bit.)

Then I happened upon a booth with Sherri K. Falls patterns  Loved them! This one is called Autumn Blessing.  I stitched it in perle cotton 5 and really like the thicker stitching.

I am working on another one of her patterns and hopefully will be able to show you that one soon.

Until then,
Happy stitchin'!

Oh that both are so cute. The bottom one just makes me want to jump up, get my supplies and stitch up some pumpkins and a crow!

I really like your framed pumpkins! The little stitchery pillow is really sweet too. I wish I could just stitch along with you and then I would have cute Fall things too!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
