She had heard from Ann of Knowledge and Needles who nominated my Mother as stitcher of the week on Thea's news letter. Thea is the owner of this store and has started to post a weekly stitcher. She has been in touch with me a few times and I shared some photo's with her which she posted.
This is the link for the story about my Mother. Please have a look at this lovely website and blog.
Thea did a nice job of telling this story. Thank you Thea my mother is thrilled.
I have to say thank you to Kathy A. She stopped by today and brought me a Birthday gift.
This is so neat. It is a "needle roll kit " . Isn't that amazing. Here we are talking about this site and low and behold Kathy brings me a gift designed by "The Victoria Sampler." It is the August birthstone and birth flower chart. I love it.
Thank you so much Kathy.
I also want to thank all the well wishers for my Birthday. What a lovely gift to know I have so many on line stitching friends. This has been a great year and I treasure all of you as good friends!!!
This weekend I managed a bit of work on Bling the Moonlight Guardian.It's coming along. Dani has hers finished and it is gorgeous .
I also started a little piece that will have a jungle theme for my bathroom. The little charts are from a Cross stitch crazy magazine Sept 2007.I needed a small stitch to work on other than pumpkins....still working on those. lol.
Have a great day and stitch with happy fingers!

How lovely for your mum! No wonder she is thrilled.
Bling is looking great :o) And a happy belated birthday Beatrice!
Happy Belated Birthday Beatrice! I had my 59th Birthday on August 8. I just finished reading the report about your mother and what an inspiration she is to us "younger gals!" Wow, I hope I look that good at 92.
Just read the article on your mom. How wonderful for her to be honored in such a fantastic way. Give her my congratulations.
Hi Beatrice,
What a lovely story about your
Mum. She truly is a remarkable
lady, and an inspiration to all
of us. Hope she continues to
stitch and craft for many, many
years to come.
You received a lovely gift from
Kathy for your birthday. Have
you ever made a needle roll
before?? It's perfect that this
one celebrates your birth months
stone and flower.
Bling's looking great!! You're
making great progress with her.
You really don't have all that
much left to do on her.
Your little hand towel looks
great with the jungle cat on it.
It looks quite tiny in the
picture.
So, are you as sick of rain
and cool temperatures as I am??
It's time we had a little hot
weather and sunshine. I'm
thinking of starting a petition!
Think the Weatherman will cave
in to our demands???
Cheers!
Happy Belated Birthday, Beatrice. Lovely gift from Kathy and beautiful stitching as always.
That is such a warm hearted story. Thanx for sharing with us.
What a lovely story about your Mum. An inspiration to us all. Nice that the story included yourself and Kathy too :-)
Moonlight Garden is coming along well, and love the jungle cat towel.
What a wonderful tribute to your Mom Beatrice, I hope you print it all out and save it because some day it will bring great comfort.
I sit here crying...your Mother is a wonderful person..now I'm off to write to Kathy...
Beatrice, I'm glad to hear that 60 has started out as a great year for you!
I did get the e-mail with the article about your Mom I thought it was well done... and soooo cool!
Bling is looking great ... she'll be done in no time to keep mine company!
What a lovely gift from Kathy! Would you belive I've had the March one in my stash for YEARS? Maybe this is the year to pull it out????
See you Saturday!
Congratulations to your Mom, that is great. I love your bling and the towel is starting out so well. The gift you received is really nice. I didn't know they did birthday month stitching charts. I am very new to this stitching bug. Can't wait to see it finished.

A belated happy birthday to you Beatrice! How proud you must be that your mum was featured by Thea. Thea's designs are so pretty! I love your pictures. My DH was also in the military as a Navy machinist. He just turned 65 July 27th. He was in Vietnam fro 1964-1968. You two look very happy! Thank you for the nice comments in my blog! You are always welcome to come to Texas for a visit! Only one bird is named Jerry so far hehehehehe
Happy Belated Birthday, what a nice surprise they were able to give you. What a lovely surprise for your mom on the article as well. Bling is looking so pretty, I saw Dani's post, hers is gorgeous too.

How wonderful for your Mom to be honoured this way! You both must be thrilled. The story is a lovely tribute to her.
I'm so happy she taught both you and Kathy to stitch. Otherwise we might never have met!
Wow I love the August needleroll from Cathy, that was a lovely gift.
