Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

As you may or may not have noticed I haven't been around much these past couple of weeks. My flu bug got worse and I was too sick to post although I did blog surf and leave a few comments here and there. On bad days I curled up on the sofa in front of the tv and on my good days I worked on my Blue Ribbon box class pre-stitching. This is now finished apart from removing the basting threads and cutting it up into sections. I must admit I changed a bit here and there and I hope that Sherri does not mind. I'm sorry about the poor picture but it's been very dark, gloomy, rainy weather here these past few days. Click on the picture for a closer look.

Sally from Stitchy Angel's Treasures sent me a picture of her beautiful Mystery box finish. It's stitched on a 25ct fabric with an unknown Victorian Motto thread. Thank you Sally for allowing me to post your picture.

Sew a Mystery is still available *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar.

Thanks for visiting

Take care

So sorry to hear about your flu - it has been an especially nasty season. Hope you are on the road to recovery. Your Blue Ribbon Designs piece is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the finished pieces. Sally did a wonderful job finishing her mystery.

Sorry to hear you've been ill since you got back from France. Hope you're well on the mend now.

Thank you for posting a photo of my box:)

Sorry to hear you've been sick. Hope you are feeling better. Lovely stitching on your blue ribbon piece. I finally framed Sew Golden!! I need to send you a pic. Still have to finish the mystery box (all stitching done, just the box to do).

Sorry that you've been ill Carol, I do hope you are feeling much better now.

Beautiful stitching. And you can send that rain here...I'd rather have that than the snow that's in the forecast!

Congratulations on finishing your prestitching for your class! I'm sure you feel better about that!

I do hope you are finally over your flu bug too and can be back up to full speed of stitching.

Another beautiful Mystery Box finish!!!

I hope you are feeling all better now, Carol. The flu can really take it out of a person.

Your pre-stitching looks wonderful. I can wait to see the finish!

I hope that you're feeling better now. I went through the same thing for almost a month - some days I'd sew or stitch - other days I'd lay and stare at the TV or sleep.

Your Blue Ribbon Designs piece is beautiful.
