Another Landscape???



Yes, but it's the Halloween House Row from Melissa Shirley.  I can't stop stitching this cute thing.  It is that much fun.  I really need to be finishing up the Christmas items for this year.  I think I will give myself the Memorial Day weekend and then get back to business.    I bought the canvas, stitch guide and threads from Amy's Golden Strand.

Report from Amy's Golden Strand





We had a wonderful time!  Six SWANs took off for Memphis for stitching, eating and visiting.  Jill and Amy were as charming and gracious as they always are.  We saw some other Memphis friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.   I asked Amy for stitch ideas for The Village.
