FINALLY FINISHED...

I finally finished by sampler by Pineberry Lane Primitives, last evening.  Yay!  It always feels so good to finish something, doesn't it?  I love this sampler design and it was an easy stitch.  I stitched on 28 count evenweave using DMC floss.  I then coffee stained it and baked it for a bit.  Now, I'm not sure if I should frame it or mount it on something.  Either way, I think it will look pretty cool...

Last week, I received a gorgeous handmade two tier basket from Ann of 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets.

It beautifully crafted and so useful.  It will be my new project basket, either for stitching or rug hooking. 

Then, on September 30th, my husband and I spent a couple of days in Ohio...first going to Amish country, Berlin and Walnut Creek and then attending the Back To Our Roots, primitive antique show in Medina Oh.   I didn't buy much, but did manage to find a couple of pieces of stone fruit, thanks to Lauren Fugua....she has an eagle eye for stone fruit at these shows...I seem to pass right over them...The vendor's prices were very good so I couldn't pass them up. 

Well...that's it for today.  I'm excited for this week...I am going with a guild buddy to ATHA  in Cleveland this Thursday to do a little shopping and hooking & then on Friday we are heading to Wooster, OH for the Hooked in the Valley show.  Should be a fun week!!
