I want to thank you all for your wonderful comments on my Mary Wigham finish.
It was fun to share it with you, I feel like you were all on the ride with me along the way!
Since my last post, I have been WAY under the weather with a head cold that just seems to not go away. But I did get to do some stitching on the days that the sniffles were not so bad!
It is part of a sampler from PS Autumn Samplers, I had seen this one done this way on Edgar's blog and I thought it was just perfect for these autumn months.....

I changed up the color for the pumpkins to make them a little more orange-y.
Then I worked on a repair job!
You see, I gave this bookmark as a gift to my friend Lori last Christmas.....
I adapted this design from a Ewe&Eye&Friends pattern.
Well.... her cute little doggie, Betsy.....
....seemed to think it was QUITE tasty! lol!
So I did some mending with a new piece of perforated paper and voila!
Good as new, well almost! :D
And now for the Giveaway info I promised!!
For reaching 100 followers, I decided to giveaway the new Blackbird Designs pattern,
Feast of Friendship, with ALL of the 22 overdyed threads called for the pattern!
And an extra treat or two :D
I really thought this was a perfect pattern to giveaway,
because it has an autumn feel to it and feast of friendship says it best,
I have really enjoyed meeting all of my blogging friends and being a part of the blogging community.
I feel like part of a stitching club and find all of your work so inspiring.
It is wonderful to get to know others with the same stitching passion that I have too.
I will draw a winner on October 20th!
No special rules, except to be one of my followers and leave a comment on this post.
Thank you again for taking the time to visit!
Enjoy your weekend and happy stitching!!

Your PS piece looks fantastic. I had also seen it on Edgar's blog and thought what a great idea it was to stitch just a part of the bigger sampler.
Congratulations on more than 100 followers. And hopefully your headcold will soon go away and you'll feel better then.

The dog is so adorable! Hard to get upset at her with a sweet face like that. :) And, my dog would've done the same thing if she could get her little paws on it. You did an amazing repair!
Just found your blog and looking forward to reading more! You have the same name as my daughter, too. :) I'm stitching her a stocking... (maybe take a look at my blog and tell me if you think the "t" and the "a" are too far apart. I just can't decide! LOL)
And thanks for the chance to win! What a very nice giveaway!
I love your PS Autumn Sampler. The thread change looks great too :)
