Weekly Update

Our 2011 Fort Bend County Fair is now over. I worked in the cashier's office all week, therefore my stitching was very limited. I did manage a few stitches. I am also picturing the items I won blue and red ribbons on. My grandkids did well with their show animals, a steer, 2 pigs, and a goat. They both placed in the top 5 in the showmanship class.
I have started stitching the next 2 pages of the Alphabet Sampler Book-With My needle. I am stitching the one page of alphabets in the algerian eye stich(a new stitch for me).
 Another word stitched on Lizzie Kate's ABCs of Aging Artfully.
 Stitched a couple of rows on the 3rd panel of The Library LHN
 February Violets EMS progress is nearing the finish line.
 Stitched a few stitches on Nove Snowman Vermillion
 Started stitching a butterfly on my Garden of Joy
 Only a few stitches left and I will be ready to add the charm and finish All is Calm Ornament LHN

These were my entries in the fair and the red and blue ribbons I won.
