Monday Market Mania

 

Hello my friends.

Each March the stitching world

goes ga-ga for the new releases

that designers bring out to market

which is in Nashville Tennessee.

Each year I look forward to seeing

what peeks my interest.

I purchased 6 patterns.

They are as follows.

Anyone who knows me...knows I love bunnies.

This Spring Rain bunny from

Theresa Kogut had to be on the list.

Ain't he adorable.

This small sampler from

Cross Stitch Antiques caught my fancy.

Then another sampler with a few bunnies.

Isabella Hardy from Needlework Press.

Then this charming snowman caught my eye.

This book from Teresa Kogut has

nine Winter patterns.

Am not usually a fan of white houses...

however this pattern from Annie Beez

had to come home to me.

When I do start this one,

will probably stop at the grass...

and omit everything underneath.

Finally I had to have  A Worthy Patriot

by Plum Street Samplers.

I dont plan on stitching any of these 

in the near future,

but am happy to have them in my stash.

I know most stitchers are already

stitching on a large Patriotic piece

to celebrate our 250 year anniversary.

I chose to work on smaller ones that will

be sewn into pillows.

Do any of these tickle your fancy?

If you are a stitcher, did you purchase any

market patterns?

In other news,

brother and I are headed back this morning

to clean more in my mom's house.

Last week mom was fine going to her house.

She understands what and why we are 

cleaning her house.

She also told us to take whatever we wanted

from the house before we sell anything.

 Wednesday I am taking a strawberry pie

to share for her monthly social.

This month is strawberries. 

I only have one week left of sabbatical...

then one week left of work...

then retirement here I come.

WOOHOO!

Well my brother just pulled into my driveway.

Gotta run.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Monday Mania Blessings To All!
