Missing in action?

Did you think I was Missing in Action? It certainly feels like it! I have been stitching but more about that later.

Today I received a wonderful RAK from Mary from Tennessee. Now I am not sure whether Mary has a blog but she certainly reads both my blog and my wish list as she contacted me to say that she had a duplicate of Quaker Virtues by Bygone Stitches and offered to send it to me! Today an envelope arrived from Mary with not only the QV chart but she also enclosed M Designs Sun Needle Roll. This was really kind of you Mary and please accept my sincere thanks.

Now my stitching ... I have stitched a personal exchange piece; I have stitched my blogaversary giveaway (there are still 7 days to go before this draw is made) and I have stitched my ornament for the 2009 Christmas Challenge but all three pieces need 'finishing' so I guess I need a marathon finishing session. Hopefully this will be soon but I am awaiting on a Charland mistletoe charm so once this arrives I will finish off these pieces and post some pictures. In the meantime, I have joined the Needlepoint Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler SAL (well I had to have something to replace Hannah Beeby) but I do have a couple of more exchanges pieces to do first.

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Boy you are one lucky lady. I love RAK's but then again I suppose everyone does. And you sure have been one busy little bee that's for sure. Happy Finishing Patti xxx

Carol,
Aren't there some really lovely people around. This was such a nice gift from Mary and the nice gestures just seem to get spread around. Cross stitchers really are very special. I got to know about online stitchers who have now become like my family, through the generosity of one lovely person - ten years ago!!
Hugs, Angela
