I just wanted to let everybody know that while driving to work, she was swept away in the river. She had been missing since yesterday at 6 a.m. but this morning, firefighters found her body in her car. She was the best person I know. She was also more than a fantastic wife and mother, the best any of us could ask for. <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l2gWP2rr3yM/TW0BQMGmcRI/AAAAAAAAAzA/5ijCH1dOjcM/s1600/the%2BRoswell%2Bclan-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l2gWP2rr3yM/TW0BQMGmcRI/AAAAAAAAAzA/5ijCH1dOjcM/s400/the%2BRoswell%2Bclan-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579116891020357906" /></a>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10303649707147777513noreply@blogger.com483tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131824320334090279.post-29761247147514906542011-02-05T09:40:00.000-08:002011-02-05T09:45:27.242-08:00Twigs and Berries<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6UjLrGbTgBY/TU2L48vNftI/AAAAAAAAAy4/SpZ2JLJcPCU/s1600/Twigs%2Band%2BBerries-1-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6UjLrGbTgBY/TU2L48vNftI/AAAAAAAAAy4/SpZ2JLJcPCU/s400/Twigs%2Band%2BBerries-1-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570262124620250834" /></a> <br><br /><br />I love how this cool little mat turned out.

I'm going to have 2 reproduction samplers at Nashville and this is one of them. Carol Sims stitched the model (thanks Carol!) And Bonnie from Valley Framing, once again did an awesome job with the moulding! (thanks Bonnie!)<br />I love this sampler so much! Mary was only 8 years old when she stitched this. How incredible is that! She finished it on Oct.31 1844. The original resides in Allhallows Museum in Honiton England. There is also a way cool, kinda spooky story about it too! (You will have to buy the sampler to find out though)<br />So, in my mind this sampler is about as perfect as you can get~It is beautiful, it was finished on All Hallows Eve and it's home is Allhallows Museum!<br />I would like to thank the museum for the opportunity to pay tribute to Mary and her samplar.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10303649707147777513noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131824320334090279.post-22023582810758597272011-01-13T10:48:00.000-08:002011-01-13T11:19:41.777-08:00Limited Kit for Nashville<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6UjLrGbTgBY/TS9QQ6oFwjI/AAAAAAAAAxM/AZ2WJq0kCWE/s1600/Thy%2BNeedle%2B2-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 392px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6UjLrGbTgBY/TS9QQ6oFwjI/AAAAAAAAAxM/AZ2WJq0kCWE/s400/Thy%2BNeedle%2B2-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561752316371386930" /></a><br />Hey all!

(Hint:the girl who stitched it finished it Oct. 31. 1844, and it has a very interesting/spooky story!)<br /><br />So I want to do another design on the same scale as Witches Hollow. I have a few ideas, but wanted to see what you guys would like to stitch. <br />Let me know your ideas.<br /><br />I'm going to use the random number generator again to pick the winners.<br />Give-away will be my 2 new definition charts~Halloween & Witch.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10303649707147777513noreply@blogger.com44tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131824320334090279.post-32264075035682078512010-09-27T16:57:00.000-07:002010-09-27T17:27:56.130-07:00I'm Back and we have winners!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6UjLrGbTgBY/TKE2hdiIijI/AAAAAAAAAsY/uzPfcuQlV9w/s1600/20100920_180.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 356px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6UjLrGbTgBY/TKE2hdiIijI/AAAAAAAAAsY/uzPfcuQlV9w/s400/20100920_180.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521754566624315954" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6UjLrGbTgBY/TKExAE_35SI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/-_04nSDwtoY/s1600/st+charles+mariah.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6UjLrGbTgBY/TKExAE_35SI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/-_04nSDwtoY/s400/st+charles+mariah.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521748495544345890" /></a> <br> Here is Mariah~She was such an awesome cashier!!
