Christmas in their hearts

I am a needlework fan. This is the wall next to my bed, where I put my book at night, and my glasses too, before I put out the light.

Some of these craftswomen have sent me the most wonderful things, like this embroidered bird, from Jone at Pantry Violets. I keep it with my spice jars, right in my kitchen.








This beautiful bunting was knit by Lori. I had a big blank space over my bed, and then Lori sent me this package and I nearly tripped running down the hall to hang it here! Isnt' it amazing how the colors match the quilt?








Mary Stanley sent me this little house which was just what the neighborhood on my wall needed. Mary hooks rugs too, and is a wonderful needlewoman.








this isn't exactly needlework, but its a gift from my talented friend Delila in Finland.




Its resting against a sketchbook, with a needlework cover, by Viv at Hens Teeth.


Viv is a rock star in the stitching world~









A close up of my quilt, the lady who made this cut out and appliqued these flowers all over the top of this, its so lovely. Got it at a garage sale in Santa Barbara. yup.

These ladies are all the best, and feel like 'old friends'.


Little needlecase from New Hampshire, a gift from my mom.


Thanks for stopping by, always such a pleasure to have you visit
