I took yesterday off because it was kindergarten registration day and I seemed to recall it took a long time to register Eva so I figured it would take twice as long to register 2 kids. That wasn't really true, but it was still a good reason to take a day off work.
I had pulled out my Mirabilia charts to decide what pattern I wanted to do for my round robin and decided since she was so treasure intensive I should do Blossom Harvest, but as I started pondering the chart I decided that perhaps I needed to rethink restarting it. I had started it in the past but didn't like how it was coming out. It was on 28 ct natural linen (this was in the dark days before hand dyed linen) and with all that white thread it wasn't looking good.
So I woke up yesterday with a bad case of startitis and a whole day off, minus the registration time. I pulled out Blossom Harvest and damn it all to hell I didn't have any fabric that was working! It was 8 am. I decided Marjean should be up at that time of the morning but she didn't answer her phone. Then I called Kaye told her to get her ass out of bed because I needed fabric! Isn't it great to have stitchy friends so close by? And Kaye came through. She had a lovely piece of Sugar Maple Fabric Abracadabra. We had a lovely afternoon of stitching and I got a good start on Blossom Harvest.

It's a wonderful start! Thank goodness the friend came through with the fabric!
Nice start and fabric choice ;-) There is NO cure for startitis ... enjoy ;-)
I am so jealous that you have not one but two stitchy friends so close by! Great start Autumn. :)
Great start, Autumn. Yes, it's great having stitching friends close by! My pal called me a little while ago to see if I had a skein of WDW she needed. Yep, I do and she'll have it tomorrow. Glad your friend was able to help you, too. THAT's what it's all about!
yes, it good to have stitching friends and I didn't mind coming through with the fabric.
Great start Autumn and it looks terrific on that fabric.
Great new start, cool to have friends like that!
