Russellville Recap - part 2

The show and tell table really proved we have been a busy group of stitchers since we last got together!  I  had a hard time getting it all in one picture so there are several.  I'll let the pictures do the talking.  Here we go!









Four things in this picture are mine.  You've seen the Pomegranate Pincushion in the upper left.  The Remember Me pillow, Strawberry scissor keep and the Antique Vases sewing case are all mine too.  I need to do a separate post to record their finishes here on the blog.  The pillow was last year's group project last seen here.  The Antique Vases sewing case was last seen here

~*~*~*~

I also wanted to show you the stash haul from the Queen Bee's "boutique" this year.  There were several things on deep discount that I couldn't resist!


These three were all complete kits that included fabric and floss!  The two heart shaped ones even included the Altoids tin as well.  The first one even has silk floss.  All were priced too good to pass up.
All but the Scarlet House one in this picture were also on sale.  I got the kit with the pansy scissor fob.  It has everything but scissors!  Loved the tea themed one and Miss Peepers was just to cute.  I've really been into Patriotic pieces lately and I've seen this on several blogs lately.  Nice!

~*~*~*~

What!?!

With that I'll leave you with this picture of a rather odd looking tomato bought at the Farmer's Market behind the "Hive."  I'll let you use your imagination here as to what you think this looks like.  Needless to say we had some fun with this one and everyone had a go at a guess.  Shenanigans abounded.  Oh yes, they did!
~*~*~*~

So that's the end for today.  Har har...couldn't resist!  I've got one more post to wrap up the weekend.  Thanks for stopping by for the second installment.


More next time,

The Inspired Stitcher

Ha!! What a way to end the recap! A horse's rear end comes to mind! That is a nice grouping of stitched pieces, as usual. Of course, I recognized the Pomegranate pincushion... sigh... So many great pieces! I have Miss Peepers in my cabinet, waiting to be stitched! This year, at least! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next installment! Hugs!

I, too, was thinking horse's heiney. Great shots of the show and tell table! What a wonderful group of stitchers you hang out with, Lisa! You came home with some wonderful new stash. I don't remember seeing the patriotic chart pack from the Scarlett House before; off to look for it. Enjoy your weekend!

It must have been wonderful to see all those pieces together! There's nothing quite like needlework "in the flesh", up close and personal. Or tomatoes!
