A quick stop at Chapters on the way down allowed us to enhance our stash a little with the latest fall issue of Just Cross Stitch. Christin also had for me the Halloween Ornament Issue that she had picked up for me while I was away.
Joyce's AMAZING Mystic Stitch
The results of this year's January 1st start/stitch-a-long
Saturday morning we packed our stitching and the works we've finished since last year's Open House and headed down the road to Knowledge and Needles. Its a great day where so many stitchers come together! I get to see lots of familiar faces, catch up and usually there's one or two new stitchers to meet as well.
I think the favorite part of the day, for all of us is the display (and well maybe the shopping too!) of everyone's work in the last year! There are just so many different pieces, so beautifully stitched too. Its hard not to add a few new patterns to your wish list or be inspired to try something different.
Kathy gave me these fabrics from her stash she knew she wouldn't stitch on
Christin got these scissors for Beatrice's birthday, and I made the fob

Looks like a fabulous trip - so much lovely stitching.
It must be wonderful to see all those great finishes in person, Dani--so many different themes and styles. I'll bet it was hard to hold back on making your wish list too long :) Love the fob you made for Beatrice and what nice fabric from Kathy... Enjoy those Jingles charts :)
Wow, the Mona Lisa finish is incredible! Thank you for sharing such inspirational photos, it looks like you had a fab time :)
Best wishes.
Oh Dani, I love the fob you have made for Beatrice. I know, like me, she adores elephants so I am sure this will be a real treasure for her.
Sounds like a wonderful trip! Love the fob you made. It matches the scissors perfectly.
Looks like a great weekend. Loved looking at all of the fab finishes.
Sounds fantastic! definitely looks like a great weekend. :)
Sounds like a wonderful trip, loved seeing all the pictures of the finished pieces. There's nothing like going into a shop and seeing so many pieces in real life, pattern pictures just don't do them justice so many times. Belated congrats on finishing Cercles, it turned out gorgeous. I love all the shapes that are in the piece, very deserving of a huge happy dance.

What wonderful stitched pieces - always a joy to see such an amazing show. Enjoy the Jingles, they're fun :-)
I just love these posts that you do, where we can see everyone's work. It's so impressive and inspiring. I can't imagine the pattern charts for the Mona Lisa piece. Must have been a small book!
Can't wait to see the Jingles show up on your blog. Those are fun. :)
Wow! Wonderful works :D
I'd love to stitch Jingles, love that series!! :)
I love seeing all the pics of everyone's finishes. There's such an amazing display of talent there.
Jingles looks like a fun collection of stitches. It's a great stash enhancer!
What an amazing! Thanks for showing us all the pictures of all that beautiful stitching! I love the Canadian maple leaves all together. Such a great design.
