I wanted to stitch something to thank all the volunteers but unfortunately that’s too many people to personally stitch one for each person. So, I decided to stitch one for each day & hold a daily drawing – one chance for every hour worked. This is for the Day 6 winner. It is a silver frame with one large and smaller hearts measuring 5″ x 5″ with a design area of 3&1/4″ x 3&1/4″. I got the frame at a flea market & designed it on 14 count red vinyl canvas (from crafterspride.com under fabrics) to fit the space. I like the vinyl because the edges don’t fray.

Well, it’s Monday night & we’ll be checking in to Marriott on Thursday for Seminar! So close now. I never made my ANG MLS Chapter name tag. And, so I wanted one for seminar but didn’t want it to be large or complicated. So, this is simple & done. Guess who ran out of red half way through!!

I added a Liberty Bell charm (I am pretty sure I heard that these will be handed out to registrants – so, you are getting a sneak peek)! I had no idea there were words on it until I took this picture & blew it up. Thanks to Google & wiki, I found what is inscribed: “PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND UNTO ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF LEV. XXV X. BY ORDER OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE PROVINCE OF PENSYLVANIA FOR THE STATE HOUSE IN PHILADA PASS AND STOW PHILADA MDCCLIII”

Bill & I are quite excited about our vacation our own backyard. He has 2 stitch husbands to golf with & the weather is showing mid 80s (may their golf score be as good) and no rain!!

Welcome to Philadelphia & enjoy!!
