Once again I have been spoiled by my friend, Jodi! She sent an early birthday gift (my birthday is actually later next month). She took advantage of a good sale at Village Mountain Stitchery and ordered some things I had admired. She sent: "Pumpkin Pete" by the Trilogy (I loved Kiwi Jo's finished pillow of this design last fall), "American Star" by Blackbird Designs (this is shown finished as a box top), "Winterology" by the Trilogy, "Ornamental Letters" by Just Nan, and "An English Motto Basket" by Hillside Samplings (I really want to make a basket like this with the accessories--this chart had been on my wish list!). She also stitched me something, but I am determined not to open any more early presents until the actual day!! Many thanks, Jodi!!
