Dog Day Afternoon

As you may, or may not know, I'm a big fan of Paulette Stewart's designs. Her latest,  Halloweenies,  it's just too cute!!! So much so, that I may have to "jump the gun" and display it now!!! LOL!!!

 Plum Street Samplers
Halloweenies
Edinburgh 36 ct. Doubloon
Gentle Arts fibers


See what I mean. Doesn't it just make you smile!!! The Doubloon fabric is showing up very light here. Wish you could see the beautiful modeling in this fabric. Here's the back:




Back to the present. Here's September's Word Play:

September Door Bells
Country Stitches-With thy Needle & Thread
R&R Abecedarian 35 count



This is one of my favorites and the most fun to stitch. It's a beautiful day here in Illinois and I'm on my way to my LNS to purchase the new JCS magazine and dream about Christmas!  So much for living in the present!!! LOL!!! Have a great weekend!!!

  16. Nice job, Linda! I would love to see all the word plays displayed together. What a statement that would make! Bring Halloweenies in some day so I can see it! Is that rick-rack around the outside of the pillow?
