~ A Pre-View ~


Here is my {partially-finished} class project model for the

Stitching in the Valley Retreat
October 9th ~ 11th 2015


this will be a pocket when finished!
"Black Jack" Pocket ~ 
Lori Brechlin©Notforgotten Farm



~ a combination of wool applique & embroidery ~


he's not scary, he's just hungry!


I'm waiting for the pocket-lining fabric to come in…
then I'll share the actual finished pocket with you ~


**Have you registered for the retreat yet?**


Autumn in Virginia is a beautiful-thing, 
and what better way to spend an October weekend 
….than to be in the most-excellent company of fellow stitchers?

Have a SAFE & Happy Holiday weekend my friends ~

~ Blessings from the Farm ~

I LOVE your "headline" today with the portrait of "Miss Perkins"! and the pumpkin is wonderful. I wished I lived a little bit closer to you -- I'd love to take one of your classes. I hope you have a beautiful Independence Day!

Black Jack is a wonderful pumpkin! Wish I lived closer to visit the farm and your shop. I always enjoy your blog. Maybe someday I will have to take a road trip! Happy Fourth to you and your family!

Your Jack is so neat! wish I lived closer, it would be fun to visit your farm in person.
Waiting to see the finished pocket, it looks like fun.
