Girls' day out

I went out to lunch today with two of my daughters and my sister-in-law. It was the first time we've done something like this, and we had a wonderful time.


I managed to finish Clue 5 of the Sanditon MKAL before we headed out. Clue 6, the final clue, is due out tomorrow. I'm excited to see how this is finished off!


After Alison headed home, I worked on my Linens and Threads Mystery Sampler. I've switched to a Q Snap frame. Using a scroll frame with a stand was too awkward for me. This is much easier to handle. I still have quite a bit to stitch from the January section. I'm hoping to finish with January before the March section is released!


My eyes got pretty tired after a couple hours of stitching, so I tatted a Doodle Ice Drop in size 20 Lizbeth #691, Mocha Brown Med. The shuttle is from Veronica of Tatting Shuttles on Etsy. I love the texture of the wood!

    1. Thank you, Margaret! After a 30 year hiatus, it feels good to stitch again. I do enjoy tatting an Ice Drop each day. I feel a little lost on days I don't make one!
