My dear friend, Carol Sutcliffe, sent me this precious fobbie for a belated birthday gift, and I just love it. So many of my things are antiques and old English and French, so this fits right in with my little treasures! I just love it. And, I'm so grateful to have such wonderful, caring friends, too! Isn't it pretty?! Here's a photo of the back with a friendship tree and our initials:
This background fabric is going to be a needlework arm chair "pocket" for my stitching smalls. I have a piece that collects my throw-away threads and extra needles and tape measures, etc. But, I want to make one to house my pretty scissors and fobs with a place for needles threaded for the current piece I'm working most often. I'll post a pic. when I get it made.I've missed you all. Have not been well since my trip to Vegas...my back's been out with my disc disease, and I didn't have a great trip for various reasons. I'm happy to be home, and have just started back stitching again.
What a source of comfort and strength you are as stitching friends. I'm so grateful for each of you. Thanks for being there in so many ways...posting comments here, little RAKS in the mail, emails, notes and all the sweet things you do. It really keeps me going!!
Love,
Deb

You are so welcome Deb! The little daisies on the fob made me think of you - very sunny and cheerful! It was a real pleasure to stitch this for you, and even greater pleasure to have enjoyed your friendship over the recent months!
Lucky you :) That's a great fob from Carole. She does such lovely pieces.
I hope you're on the mend, now you're back from your trip to Vegas. Back pain is a terrible thing. I hope you get some relief from it soon.
THe WFTMTC green stichery thing (lol) is 'Waiting for the Mists to Clear' by character creations. I thought it would be a long time in the stitching but now it's started, I don't think it'll take long at all.
This is how it looks when finished.
