Starting the Week a Day Late

 I had a surprise package in the pile of mail when I got home yesterday!  A friend brought a huge pile of sock yarn to my mom's for ME!  Mom knew I would love to get a preview of the pile and so she mailed me some!  Yippee!  You can never have too much yarn, right?!  Thank you to Sharon for your generosity and for Mom who doesn't like to wait for good things either!
I loaded the embroidered quilt for Millie on the frame again this morning and changed the threads and designs from the disastrous first attempt and it is progressing wonderfully this time!

Now off to do some major cleaning out for a joint yard sale this Thursday and Friday.....

    hope you will enjoy that yarn--I knew I wouldn't use it and couldn't think of anyone better to give it to. Sharon

    that's funny, I think I have exactly the same colours of regia in my box here:) very colourful, the right thing to knit when it's grey and ugly outside... and the abigail quilt of the entry before is gorgeous - colourful, but not garish! I'd have liked a quilt like that as a kid...
    happy hunting for the yard sale:)
