Last week Purple Pam posted a picture of an embroidery piece she had made. It's a witches house, part of a Halloween pattern. When I asked for the name and designer of the pattern she told me it was Hocuspocusville by Crabapple Hill. And today in the mail Pam sent me the pattern! What a sweet and thoughtful gift. I know you can't see the detail of the village blocks but they are wonderful. There's a candy store; a drive through "Bubble and Brew" shop; an apothecary with hexes, potions & spells; The Black Cauldron, a cafe; and many others. I cannot allow myself to start this until I finish Winter Wonderland....I cannot....I cannot.
But Pam not only sent me the pattern - she also sent me this wonderful scrappy bag made from chicken fabrics. And all her leftover fabrics from the bag so I can use them in something else! I am blown away.
I continue to be amazed by the goodness and the generousity of my blogging friends. When I am down you make me laugh. When I am sad you cry with me. And when I need prayer you lift me up. I thank my Father for each and every one of the friends I have made here - you have a special place in my heart.
What a nice suprise! I love the bag with the chicken fabrics. Have a great day!

Hi Marlene. Thanks for stopping by. Umm...I used to cross-n-stitch, just haven't in awhile. Right now, I'm using what I art materials I have. Not sure what medical bills will be coming in from everything, yet. =/
ReplyDeleteMarlene, don't you feel blessed with so many wonderful friends. I think blogging has opened so many hearts and homes to people you can really relate to. Great gifts.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of a post I need to do.

ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm going to the Crabapple Hill site right now and check that pattern out! What a wonderful friend you have!
ReplyDeleteHi Marlene,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. It's really easier than it looks! :)
I wish you were close enough so that I could either have you over for dinner or bring a meal over while you are still waiting on your stove.
Are you squeezing in some extra sewing since you don't really have to cook? ;)
what wonderful goodies for you to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow, the picture of that bag looks better in your blog than it did in my sewing room. I hope you enjoy it. I know you will enjoy the Hocuspocusville pattern. It is a fun one for sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting , Pam
