From Nora Corbett...this one, by request, is offered as a chart!
Beautiful "Remember Me" by Hearstring Samplery.
Happy Friday--Hope you have as beautiful a day where you are as we have---the back door is open and we are soaking in the autumnal weather (don't say this where Beth is in armshot-she is not a fan of leaving this sauna summer we've had-don't understand that at all!)
Hi all-Above is the next in Blackbird's Anniversaries of the Heart-I love the swans--I used to watch the swans (black and white) up at the Cape-so very elegant they are....so now I'm on the watch for any patterns with swans...below is a bonus pattern which accompanies the above pattern--both are gorgeous!
If you haven't heard many designers are in the process of creating "friends" for the now famous Jenny bean...she is quite the popular girl, you know!! There will be all sorts of great designs coming-the picture below is one of Jenny's to be released at the upcoming market in St Charles... Beth and I are slated to go-we've been two years in a row now and love this market-full of great ideas, products, designers, distributors...Speaking of which...we are trying to decide where to stay, where to eat--does anyone out there have experience in the St Charles/St Louis area? we are taking recommendations!
Well, off to Brian's birthday party and then off to Mom and Dad's for a visit-am going to help them take their Zoe to Tufts for another round of chemo...she is doing good for now, thank goodness! 
A very big thank you goes out to all of you that emailed, sent in orders and came in on Friday and Saturday-what a fun few days it has been-we so enjoyed visiting, helping, laughing, and seeing all of your wonderful faces. We have received phone calls from many (a huge shout out to Terri-hope you continue to feel better! and Amy-sorry we got cut off again, Amy!)...so many of you really got into the spirit-Kim wore a Halloween t-shirt!, Lise wore a Halloween pin and got crazy looks from folks at Fresh Market...we got a chance to catch up with Pat P-we miss seeing you, Pat! We heard great news from Nikki about her sister...it's an amazing feeling to have such connections with so many of you-you all are more than stitchers, more than customers, more than faces or names...you are dear friends and we love being able to have needle and thread to keep us connected.
Well, howdy to all-hope you had a good weekend-what a nice day Saturday was--Nemo is doing great-I tried to give him as much time as possible without his helmet on--Miley Coyote and Sammy-girl won't play with him once his cone is on :( So I played referee all weekend, making sure the play wasn't too rough, the running too hard, the licking/chewing (sorry to be gross!) was inbounds...but worth it so they could have fun! They make me laugh-they make getting up early in the morning fun!
Hi all-Another busy week has flown by-Nemo had surgery this week (neutering) and so he's got his helmet on (aka halo)-my poor Sammy and Miley are terrified of him when he has it on-he is like a little alien to them! I think he thinks he is styling when he has it on-but boy, is he thrilled when it comes off!!
Hi there-Was just reading my newsletter from Shakespeare's Peddler...there will be several designers releasing designs from 'friends" of Jenny Bean-the first to release is Beth from Heartstring Samplery-I didn't realize that Poppy Maye Russell was a fictional character-there is a sweet little story about her in the chart-about her mother and father, about how she loved her name and always added her signature poppy flower...also added was a snippet from her English Reader (a real book-directions are in the chart as to how to find it online and how to download it)...This chart has now been added to my "to buy" pile and how fun it will be to collect all Jenny's friend's charts!! (I know, that has to be grammatically incorrect!! )
