I picked up my Sampler from the framer today - Love it! It was worth finishing after 3 years! Don't know where I am going to hang it yet - my daughter was teasing me and said I would probably take another 3 years to decide :-)! The red and white coverlet behind the Sampler was a recent find at Heritage Reflections Sidewalk Sale - a very favorite store of mine.
And I stumbled on an amazing find at JoAnn Fabrics, of all places. I am not a huge JoAnn fan for fabrics but do get DMC floss, notions, and such there. But my last trip in I found coverlet fabric! It is woven like a tapestry/coverlet and had the weight of a coverlet. The only sad thing was there was only one pattern/color to choose from. It was 12.99/yd, but with a 50% coupon, made a great deal for a coverlet. It has a selvage on one side of course, and the other sides I am just going to take a small hem. Love it! It would make a perfect lap throw or light weight summer coverup.
Baked potatoes for dinner this evening and going to do some Christmas present stitching as I listen to the debate. It is a cold, rainy, and leaf blowing afternoon, just the right kind to be cozy in the house and watch the rain fall along with the leaves this afternoon. I feel the movie John Adams coming on though. Such a favorite of mine, especially the first two segments up until the signing of the Declaration. Maybe this weekend.
Blessings on your Fall Evening!
