Good Morning, Happy Birthday I hope you have a wonderful day. I just wanted to tell you I start my mornings with your blog. I appreciate all you share and look forward to what you are up to next. I have been working on my spare room for my granddaughters to use while they visit Grammy and Papaw, also some blocks for a quilt. Thanks for a great start to my mornings.

What a great giveaway for your birthday ;o) I hope you have many many more!

I have been reading your posts for some time and I could have sworn I was a "follower" ~ I wasn't, but I took care of that right away! I so look forward to your blog posts ~ you are so talented and I admit to being a little bit green at your creativeness ~ keep up the good work!

I'm working on a cross stitch piece by Carriage House Samplings, have a quilt to bind, and have been making wool applique pincushions to sell in my Etsy shop. I'm putting together a wool applique project this weekend to start next week.

Greetings from the snowy south coast of British Columbia! I just finished a doll pattern from A Stitch in Time last night and will probably start another today since I've been flogging thru my list of patterns I've had on hand for the last 10 years or so!
...and what a wonderful give-away!
I wish you a very Happy Birthday!

You are so generous, Lori :) Happy Birthday! I would love to be included in your giveaway... my email is my_tony1@yahoo.com

Right now, I'm working on getting some energy back after being at the Lenexa hook-in yesterday (which was awesome!)... once the energy is revamped... I'm heading next door to the studio to work on some goodies for the Early Work Mercantile update... hooked, stitched or punched... I don't know which yet. :)

Hi Lori,
Happy Birthday! I have followed your blog for a long time! It's hard work to keep posting regularly and keep it charming, inspiring and artful! You do it all with amazing grace and generosity!
I am dyeing wool, cutting wool, organizing things for my beginner rug hooking class I'm teaching at our local tech school. I have been blessed with an amazing group of ladies who want to learn to hook rugs! This is my first time doing this too so I am learning as well! The feeling you get watching someone new learn this art is truly heart warming! I have yet to blog about the first day of class..... but it's coming!
Thank-you for keeping us all inspired and supplied with wonderful projects to work on! As others have said we should be showering you with gifts!
Sweet Birthday Blessings!

Teena said...

Hi Lori, wow how generous on your birthday, I've been busy working on your needle punch designs. I have searched the web for any of your patterns that might be older too. The pattern I'm getting ready to start is your "Strawberry Make-Do" Just finished you're black and tan silhouette bunnies and before that your heart in tans and oranges.
You're blog and receiving your patterns in the mail over the last 4 months has helped in my sanity recovering from neck surgery......Without the punch needle I would have went crazy ( I might be and just not know it yet)!!! Not being able to look down to sew was hard.... Thank goodness your designs made me try punch needle which I can do in front of my face!!! Not a pretty picture :-D Keep designing....

Linda ★ Parker's General said...

Good afternoon!
Lori, such a generous offering. I am very interested in this giveaway.
My favorite way to create is a makeover of wood goods that I find at garage sales and thrift stores. Since my work space isn't heated, I must confine myself to inside projects. This week, I made a couple prim stitchings for friends, some rag covered Easter eggs, and some prim cotton batting balls. I also primmed some longjohns I made last week. I love sharing my goodies with friends. I haven't made things for sale. I do love a good swap!
I will post your giveaway on my sidebar here:

I'm so excited. I can always use a better pair of scissors!

Just started following your blog! Right now I'm working on LaDDa's "A Bird in Hand". In April, 15 of my high school girlfriends are gathering in Fredericksburg, TX for a get-together. I'm stitching this for the friend that has helped me get this together. I graduated in '65 and some of the girls I haven't seen since then. Think I need a name tag?? We're going to spend all day Saturday at a flea mkt that's held once a month there. Can't wait to find a little treasure or two to remember our time.

Happy Birthday Lori!
I wonder if you realize what a part of our lives you are? I find such peace and contentment when I "visit". What a gift that is in our crazy world.
I thought I was a follower but a quick check and I couldn't find you! So now I am...whew.

What am I working on? What am I not? LOL. I have a halloween stitchery (BOM quilt) on the go, I'm working on my homework for my Lone Star quilt class, I just finished a quilt top (shadowbox), and I have the cross stitch pattern Ah 'Tis Spring (shameless aren't I?) kitted up and ready to start by my chair.

I like to keep busy, I also have a book in every room just in case the urge to read overcomes me as I move about.

Thank you for the chance!

Currently, I am keeping my New Year's promise to myself to complete my UFO's. So far so good. I am finishing a crochet blanket that was started about 5 years ago. Have all my quilts lined up ready to go, knitting projects, a hooked rug and of course, some cross stitch. Whew, I am going to be very busy and before I know it, the year will be over and it will be time for another resolution. I am sure all can relate!

Happy Birthday-- My birthday is in a few days time, it is a lovely time of the year to celebrate. Your giveaway sounds wonderful. I am a lurker but will become an official follower.
I am working on about six different designs, three BB patterns and some others but haven't picked up a needle for about two weeks, am getting over dreadful flu and real life interrupts the stitching time.

Danielle said...

Happy Birthday! I think that you have a very inspiring site. It gets my creative mind working. I love primitives, recycling old things into new...and have learned rug hooking in the last year. I find that I can get lost in it and it is addictive! I wish you a great new year to come.

Happy Birthday! I came here through a link at Atelier Soed Idee. Lovely blog you have. I put them at my favorites. Thanks for the giveaway chance.

I'm back for another chance to let you know I posted on my blog. And silly me, I forgot to tell you what I'm working on. I have a couple of things in the works, but right now I'm working on Blackbird Designs Anniversaries of the Heart all on one piece of fabric. I'm also working on Christmas ornaments in between and have two quilts that I need to bind. I'm so wanting to start some new things, but won't let myself until I have at least finished a few of these. :) (so she says....LOL)

Lee said...
