How is your day going? I hope you are enjoying this 1st Tuesday of November. Have you started to pull out your Christmas decorations? I plan to work on a tree today.
The kitchen and small foyer is decorated in all its Fall and Thanksgiving glory.
The tiered tray has loads of pumpkins , turkeys and a happy Pilgrim couple.
Turkeys tureens are tucked here and there and everywhere.
My small collection of white turkeys have roosted on my "mitten table" ( This is where I store the kiddos mittens and caps for the winter.
A lone white hen decided to join the white turkeys.
Today I will be working on a new quick turkey stitch- a Mini Turkey Sampler.
I haven't decided what colors I will use, but when I do I will certainly list them.

It definitely does look like a pretty day in your neck of the woods, Melisa! I love seeing all your turkeys, especially the mini sampler. I just started the Gobble Gobble turkey design of yours, but I might have to do the sampler, too!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a lovely day, Diann. I have my windows wide open right now hoping to cool the house down for the night. I am so excited that you are stitching Gobble Gobble . It is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy every stitch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can not tell you how much your support and encouragement means to me. Hugs. 🤗😘
DeleteSo glad to have found you again. Bet you did not know you were lost. I am looking forward to settling in with a big mug of tea and reading what I have missed. I have long admired your little embroidered pieces and look forward to making a wall of your houses framed for my sewing room. Thank you for sharing your time and designs. Pamela
