Let me tell you, once you start stitching on this one, it's really difficult to put it down! I think I made pretty good progress this week. The most difficult thing with this piece is trying to get a decent picture that accurately reflects the colors of the fabric and the fibers. I think this one comes pretty close!
I also worked on DT Game Board Sampler - completed two more squares. Did not take a picture to share; I'll take another picture when the third row is finished.
Another great mail day ... Anne sent me a package of goodies - check it out. She sent a piece of doctor's flannel (great for use in needlebooks), some assorted silk fibers, thread rings from Kelmscott Designs, and some biscuits! My kids were excited to try these (I think they are fascinated with the fact that they came all the way from Australia!) Thanks Anne! I'll be sending you a proper thank-you shortly.
I think that's it for tonight. I don't expect to get anymore stitching done until the weekend. Have a good week - and thank you for visiting my blog!

What a great lot of gifts from Anne. How lovely of her. Do you get Tim Tams in US stores? They're my favourite chocolate biscuits in the world!! :)
QG is looking lovely, and yes I agree, getting a photo that shows the colours right seems almost impossible!
