Please welcome to my home ....ELLEN BIRDSEYE and friends!!!
Finally - after several years of searching - this chart is part of my Goode Huswife collection. And I'm SO delighted about it.
And to make things even better, I was so very lucky to find 2 Blackbird Design charts that are out of print at Laraines on Capri, an Australian online shop. They still had a Quaker Garden chart and at least 2 Moonlit Gardens. Can you believe that??? I felt SO lucky. Bought them all. One Moonlit Garden was for a friend who later decided not to want it. But that doesn't matter. I might try to trade the second one for another OOP chart I'm after. Not sure yet. I'm way to happy right now to think about minor details like that. I'll think about that when I'm back from Europe
There are also some updates on the stitching front: Here is a snap of a piece that I stitched and framed for our friends daughter Josephine:
Then there is an update on the Wisdom Sampler:
And lastly I have some charts to give away. I'm a bit late with that because I leave in couple of days until end of July. Which means the names will be drawn rather soon. If there is more then one interested.
There are 4 charts, Charlotte Clayton, Frederik, Frederika and the Stitching Chair. If you're interested in any of them, just state which one's you would like to have. Can be one, or all, up to you. I'll draw a name for each of them. Please make sure I have a way to reach you
That's it from here. Hope everyone has a great time where ever you are :)

Gabi your needlework is absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see more of the Wisdom Sampler when you return.
Please enter me in your giveaway. I am interested in either Frederick or Frederika. Thanks for having this!
I enlarged the photos and what a special gift! That J is fabulous. Wisdom has such strong and clear colors, it really sets off the design. Don't include me in your generous offer - I like the bird but probably would never get to it! Have a safe trip.
Hi hun, what pattern are you looking for to trade for Moonlit Garden, I have never seen it and LOVE IT!!
Hugs, Shar
What great goodies you found! Your stitches are beautiful ~ love the Wisdom Sampler!!!
I'd love to one day stitch the handsome couple of Frederick and Fredericka. Thanks for the chance!
Beautiful job on your latest samplers....I love the Wisdom sampler colors. I would love to win Charlotte!!!! A beauty and cats! pjstitcher at mchsi dot com
Great find on your OOP charts. I know you really try hard to find those! Love the "J",I'm sure it's even prettier in real life. I'd love the stitching chair! Another finishing challenge for me! Hope you'll be able to blog in Europe too, that's just too long not to hear from you.
Your stitching is beautiful. I'm happy that you found those charts you've been looking for... enjoy.
Gabi! Congrats on your new requisitions. They are all great finds! The J is one that I have on my list of things to stitch for our last name...I'm almost tempted to dig it out and stitch it now!
I would love to be considered for the Charlotte chart if you would be so kind!
Gabi,
Congrats on your recent finds. I love it when I find an OOP chart that I have been looking for.
Have a great time on your trip too.
I would love a chance at both the Frederick and Frederiks charts. I have admire these in recent months and would love to stitch both of them. Perhaps this is my great find. Thanks for offering them.
You can reach me via email through my blog profile.
