Fall is in the air somewhere. Here in Texas, it is still very warm and we are recovering from Hurricane Harvey and the flood. We were lucky and did not get any flooding in our neighborhood. Many of our friends did, so please keep Texas in your prayers. I have been stitching a little on my rotation and have even finished a couple of items. I have also started to finish the sleds from Sue Hillis(pictures next time. Our Fort Bend Country Fair starts the 29th of Sept and I have been getting items ready to enter. I also volunteer in the Creative Arts Department, which is also fun. I enjoy seeing what other are creating. Here are my two items that I have now finished.

Button Up Birdies #4- by Cathy Jean-The Victoria Sampler

Oh my goodness! I have been thinking about those homecoming mums recently and I was wondering if the tradition was still going strong. I graduated from a Texas high school 27 years ago, and ours were not quite that big. You could wear one on each shoulder and the streamers came down to about mid-thigh. Thanks for the memories, Joyce! :O)
I so admire all your stitching. You are a force to be reckoned with! Congrats to Anna... enjoy your senior year!!!
Thanks for all the pics! Love looking at them. :D Cathryn
