Secret Stitcher

Wednesday night I came home from work and found a squishy waiting for me on the counter.  At first I was a little thrown off by the return address on it.  I knew that person hadn't mentioned she was sending me anything let alone a squishy.  Then I opened it.

This is what I found inside and then I knew who it was from.  My secret stitcher had sent me the squishy.  You see, the person on the return address was our secret stitcher coordinator.  Ah ha!  Now it made sense!  Very tricky, Secret Stitcher.  You got me!  I can almost hear you giggling now.

 Here's a closer look at the chart she sent.  I've had my eye on this chart for quite some time.  I almost bought it at the Keepsakes retreat a few years ago and talked myself out of it.  Now it's been gifted to me and that makes it even more special.

Next up she sent me some wonderful autumnal floss.  These hanks seem bigger than usual but maybe it's just me.  No matter, I love them all!  And those needles, they are my favorites.  I've tried lots of different ones but I always seem to come back to these.

Funny side story about needles...

When we were at the Shepherd's Bush retreat, in Linda's class (Chessie & Me) I really liked stitching with the needle she included.  Linda and Evie commented they liked it too.  So at the end of class we asked her what brand of needle she included.  Guess what?  Yep, they were Bohin needles!

She said she liked the quality of these needles and their smoothness. So there you have it, you really can tell the difference!  Well, at least I can and I think the peeps did too.

Thank you so much Secret Stitcher!  I've really enjoyed your packages this year.  I can't wait to meet you next month at the Christmas party reveal.  It seem so funny to be saying "next month" and "Christmas" in the same sentence. Yikes!  I'm so not ready yet.

Thanks to all of you for stopping by for a visit today too.  I hope your weekend is good and you are getting to push your needles through some linen.  It's cold and blustery here today.  Just right for stitching with my Shelby nestled beside me.

Until next time,

The Inspired Stitcher
