What a whirlwind this month has been! I was stitching my fingers off to get a gorgeous topp/runner combo done for my distributor - you guys will get to see it next month, but here's a peek for you...

As you can see, it's stitched on a beautiful Damask imprinted fabric, but I've also included a "stitch it yourself" background, which echoes this look, for those who want an entirely stitched piece. Look for next month's newsletter for more details!

And if you read my newsletter, you know I have also been writing up a storm, trying to get gift books off to England so they arrive in time for Christmas - and I'm happy to say, they shipped last week! You can see them on my website - though the page isn't linked yet, so just type BOOKS on the search line - select the picture of the dog, LOL, as that is my printing logo... both books will show up on that page.

What else have I been doing? Well, I pinched a nerve in my back, and ended up in bed for a couple days, but I'm on the mend now - just can't sit too long in one place... excuse me while I walk around...

OK, I'm back (GBG)... I've also started working on a new Hardanger design, since I haven't done a new one in a while... this one will be a Candy Cane doily... so I likely won't release it until next summer, for Christmas 2022...

I have started my new design schedule for 2022 already - including A NEEDLE PULLING THREAD... I think I'm about 3 issues ahead on designs, so yeah me!

Much of the next month will be spent working on Christmas and spending time with family... maybe getting back into my exercise routine, to fix up my back (!)... hope you all keep safe... talk to you next month!
