Maria P. Oliver is done!



What an unforgettable weekend I had! So many friends and a TON of great laughs, the kind of laughs that your stomach hurts and your face feels like it has taken on new shape :). Thank you to all-- you know who you are :)!!! It has been a non-stop weekend with the worlds best friends, and there was no time to stop and post a completed picture of Maria P. Oliver. Thank you to all of you, I can not wait to do this again.

After all is said and done, I am catching my breath, and reading up on the missed posts on my favorite blogs. I am excited to share with you Maria, who was finished late late on Friday night, or was it really early Saturday morning? Who knows, it is a miracle I could even see to stitch and it actually turned out correct! I just took this picture, and surprise surprise, the linen almost looks right. I cant believe it. No good close up, but she is done, and looks terrific. The colors are perfect for her. Mockingbird R & R Linen with Belle Soie Silks. Maria P. Oliver is a Carriage House Samplings piece (the pattern picture does not do this sampler justice).

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just next week, and the year is almost over. Where oh where does the time go? As long as it is shared with loved ones, we can not complain where the time goes, but think back to the wonderful memories that were created. I know that it is Tuesday already, (hard to believe I think I missed Monday) but I know that a lot of you had great weekends and looking forward to a lot more! Happy Stitching!

  5. What a beautiful finish - congratulations! Carriage House truly has lovely designs to choose from - I could happily stitch them all, maybe one day.

    It sounds like you had a wonderful weekend - time spent with friends is always the best!

    Enjoy your week and thanks for stopping by to visit my blog! I think I will work on the little bird ornament first - well, in between stitching my A&E. My new scissors make me smile whenever I see them - they are just too funny.

    I look forward to seeing what you pick up next!

    Enjoy your week.

  8. Oh my goodness, do I love this piece. I've had it in stash forever and it's just sat there. I just love yours and the colors you used for it. Did you change anything besides the threads, i.e., actual colors? It's wonderful!
