I've also managed to find time for some reading lately - has anyone else read the knitting mysteries from Maggie Sefton? I'm currently reading the fifth book in the series "Dyer Consequences." Just some nice light reading before bed!
A couple of you asked about the Hardanger piece behind the needleroll in my last post. It's a pillow (or cushion) that I stitched as part of a class back when I was first learning Hardanger. The pattern is not published and the woman that designed it has since died. At the moment I can't think of her name, but she was a long time member of EGA and a very well respected Hardanger teacher here in the Midwest.

Thread Gathering is lovely. Your Hardanger pillow is stunning. What a beautiful job you have done.`
Lovely finish Cathy - glad that you get to keep this one!
Your Thread Gathering looks STUPENDOUS! HURRAY for you!!! It does feel good doesn't it?! That's why I'm "trying" to stitch mainly for myself, but do just a few things for others instead of ALL for others...seems if I get a little balance I'll be happier :)
We'll see....
But your hardanger is gorgeous too...you do such exceptional work, you need to stitch more for yourself, so your children will have heirlooms to pass on :)
Your LHN is beautiful and the pillow is amazing!
Congrats on a lovely finish for yourself! And your hardanger pillow is STUNNING!!!

Tha hardanger pillow is gorgeous! I have only been doing hardanger for a few months. Just recently finished a doily which I think came out beautiful. If you ever come up with the designers name and/or pattern, I am definitely interested in doing the pillow too!
