Frog Find

Happy Sunday....

This weekend I ventured into our local town to an antique mall on search for a flower frog.  It took a bit of searching but I was very thrilled at the mission accomplished.  Here is my lucky find.


On the stitching front I spent time this weekend working on Fall's Gift by Carriage House Samplings. 


I love this design and wished I had more time to just sit stitch.  After coming back from last weekend's fun retreat in Shipshewana I am having a hard time in getting back to my chores around the house.  All I want to do is sit and stitch.  Okay, I still sat and stitched and didn't get to all of the chores I needed to do this weekend but I did get out and ran a lot of errands that I never can find time to do during the weekend. 

Well, Josie and Brinkley are telling me it is time for bed.  Hope you found time to stitch and I will be checking your blogs to see what you did.

You found a flower frog!!! Yipeeee! I know what you mean about wanting to just sit and stitch. I wish I was at home doing just that right now. Your current WIP is looing good!!

There is stitching tomorrow at the shop in case you decide you want to play hookey or something like that.

Remember you told me that you were working on the same quilt Over the River and Through the Woods as the lady was at the retreat? My Mom wants to get that pattern. Do you know who makes it or where I could get it?

Thanks!!!

Hi Barb!! The girls told me about your blog tonight. It was so great to meet up with you again at the retreat. I was so sorry to leave already on Saturday but my friend had to get back to CO to be with her husband. Hope to see you soon at the shop!

Hi Barb! Glad you found that flower frog! I am feeling quite left out- I do not have one- will have to keep my eyes peeled for one! How was your latest retreat? Hope all is well- take care!
