I finally got my October "assignment" done for the EMS SAL. Sorry for the wrinkles. They really show up in what little light I have to work with today. It's been overcast all day and looks as though it could rain at any minute. Sounds like a good day to stay in and stitch to me!
October's "assignment"
I love these butterflies!
The dog and these butterflies were the things that drew me to this sampler. I've waited all year to get to stitch these butterflies. I couldn't resist stitching the second one too even though it wasn't part of this month's assignment. I love how the both of them turned out. I can't wait to stitch the third one next month!
I know I must sound like a complete broken record, but I really do love this sampler. Every single stitch of it has been a joy! It makes me happy every time I look at it. I can't wait to have it framed so I can enjoy it even more.
I'm on the home stretch with it now. Only two more "assignments" to go and I will have completed it. I can't believe we are winding down another year but the calendar on the wall says it's true.
You know what that means, marathon ornament stitching is soon to commence! I've already picked out the four I know I have to stitch. Have you started thinking about ornaments yet? I'd love to know which ones are tickling your fancy this year!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. I plan to get a good old fashioned case of numb butt this afternoon and I hope you get to as well! Thanks for stopping by for a visit with me today.
Until next time,
The Inspired Stitcher

I know I have told you before but it really is looking stunning. Those butterflies are lovely!
This piece is just soooooo beautiful!!! I just love it! Definitely a masterwork!
Very nice, and great to see it coming close to completion.
Very nice! I wanted to do more PS santas, but haven't started a'one!
What a beautiful piece! Each little motif is so lovely. And it was a good day to stay inside and stitch... I know I did. Hugs!
Gorgeous progress, Lisa--those butterflies are so lovely. I can see why you couldn't hold off on stitching the second :)
What ornaments have you chosen? I stitch Christmas ornaments all year--just love the little things!!
Lisa -- It's looking so good and you are definitely in the "home stretch"
Have a good week
It's so pretty Lisa.

Those butterflies are gorgeous,but then all of it is gorgeous. Ornament #1 has been started!
Lovely!
It looks great, Lisa!
I can't wait to see what ornaments you do this year! I am terrible, I haven't done any ornament stitching this year. I need to decide if I'm going to do my nieces' annual ornaments (and do the ornaments for the past two years that I've missed...) or just give it up all together. Ack--that sounds so bad writing that out. Ahem. Yeah--slacker stitcher over here!!
Have a great week!
Looking beautiful
