Fall Stitching

Ahhh! Fall!! I've done a bit of stitching...small pieces to finish into wee pillows for the bowl.

After the Alaska cruise we were only home for a few days before leaving once again!  This time to see DD, SIL, and the beautiful granddaughters!!!  They just recently moved back to CA from Denver so our drive was not as long.  We spent a couple of nights in Las Vegas on the way!  Always a fun place to visit. This time Hubby surprised me with show tickets to Chippendales!  It was fun!  I wasn't the oldest gal there and he wasn't the only guy!  There were at least 5 others!

For this one I used Carol's thread substitutions for the crow, border and pumpkin, EXCEPT I used 977 instead of 976 for the lighter shade in pumpkin.  The 976 just wasn't enough of a contrast.  I'm happy with it! This was a free design some years ago.

How nice that your daughter and family moved back your way, Mary! Had to laugh at you at the Chippendales show--that must have been a lot of fun indeed. Well done on your finishes :) Glad my color suggestions helped a bit!
