Susan Rambo Sampler
40ct Meadow Rue
called for NPI with substitutions
She's soooooo pretty!
I love how she's coming out.
Next, my TUSAL report. The new moon is June 1, so I'm doing it now.
Like my bunny pincushion? I'll have to show you my pincushion collection sometime. This one is by Lori Ann Corelis. I love her work! The antique strawberry hanging from it is from Kathy Barrick. Isn't it cool?
You can see our rhododendrons blooming too!
Remember last week when we helped the girl child move her stuff around at school? Here are some pics she took of our wanderings in town after the move.
Yum!
Walking around town. (I'm hiding behind the father type.)
Doing some shopping.
Saying goodbye.
Pretty good, huh? Took the girl child a while to send me the pics, so they're a week late.
I don't know if you can tell from the pics, but the boy child got an extreme hair cut. Here he is in all his shorn glory.
(He wasn't cooperating.)
Here are a couple he took of himself. Works much better. (He doesn't like having his pic taken. (Like mother, like son.))
Never thought I'd say this, but I miss his long hair. :D At least his senior pictures have the long hair in them. (Why do they take senior pics at the end of junior year? Is it like that at all high schools?)
I think I've remembered everything. Told you I would bore you with pictures. :D Sorry!
Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi. I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day. Don't forget to remember and honor those who have served and are serving our country.

Susan Rambo is amazing!!!!! I can't even imagine seeing it in person; I would faint!!!
Love Susan Rambo. She is SO very very beautiful.
That bunny pincushion is adorable. Clicked on the link and spent half an hour drooling over the creations there.
Love your family pictures. You have a gorgeous family. :)
Susan Rambo is beautiful!! Love all the pictures! That Mia is so pretty!
Love the purple and red flowers on Susan Rambo! I can't wait to see your pincushion collection. (Hint hint)
Gosh, silly girl, don't ever say you'll bore us with too many photos! They're great, especially the ones with your family!
Love that Susan. You're so fast I'm constantly amazed...and then what's next?
Oh and that is a great pincushion. I must check her out! and yes, we would love to see your pincushion collection!
Great pics!! Your time with your daughter looks like a lot of fun. Susan Rambo looks amazing!
Your Susan Rambo is beautiful. I love the colors. The picture on the front of the magazine cover doesn't do it justice but your pics sure do. You are a beautiful stitcher.
I love the coloring of the squirrels in the middle, unusually different. That's what I love about antique samplers. The colorings that are just a bit different or "off" that somehow work and are really beautiful.
I like Susan Rambo and DS's new haircut. He looks more grown up (I bet you hate to hear that).
Please post one day soon about your pincushion collection. I have been feeling lately like pincushions are taking over my life. Good to know someone else enjoys them too!
Love the pincushion! I like the boy childs hair cut. Susan is beautiful. Won't be long before you have her done!
I love Mia...she's such a smart girl !! I absolutely LOVE Susan Rambo...the colors are just over the top!! Each stitch must be a delight.
I love the pics of your family too. Wonderful...you are all so happy together.
Have a great week... Hugs
Susan is just stunning. I start itching every time I see her because those colors are just gorgeous.
Love your bunny pincushion too and the pictures of your son and your day out. Your son is just like mine - doesn't want his picture taken!!
Wow! Susan Rambo is wonderful! Love her colors, and you will finish her up in no time!
Love the cute pincushion too. I would love to see your collection. Show us sometime. :)
Fun pictures of the family. I enjoy seeing what you have been up to lately.
I like your sons hair! I liked it both ways actually. It's quite short from what you are use to. I hope it grows on you soon. :)
Hugs to you! Have a wonderful day.
Not boring! Love the pics of you and your family and Susan Rambo. And the bunny pincushion!!! Want!
Margaret, Margaret, Margaret. (shakes head). *sigh* Another FABULOUS sampler almost done ALREADY!?!? You amaze me how much stitching you get done! I'm green with envy! I LOVE Susan Rambo! I ordered that issue specifically for her. I may buckle and order the kit that they are offering for her. I can only hope it goes as quickly for me...ha! Love the pics of the family...and of course Mia!! We need to get Jake's pics done...he's a Senior in the fall as well. He's thrilled his braces are off in time for the pics! Have a great day!
How can you say that post was boring? We got the family, the pet, some good looking food, the sweetest pincushion and bunny, and one of the most fabulous samplers from a most prolific stitcher! Whew.
Can't believe you have nearly finished !!! Really love it !!!
My son has long hair too but it is very very curly. I like it when he takes time with it.. Senior pictures are taken here the summer before senior year. I think it has more to do with yearbook production than anything else.
Susan Rambo is really coming along. You certainly do have a speedy needle. I'm slow and just don't have the needed time to make up for my lack of speed. Gotta keep that balance thing going - that can be a challenge for me at times.
magnifique avancée ! c'est impressionnant !
bisous de France
You are almost done with Susan! Amazing!!!!! I've been diligently working on Ann Grant lately so that I can catch up with you by the time when you will be ready for another "Ann", but I don't think that will happen to me for awhile... I love your bunny pincushion, too. What a special things from your friends! You have beautiful family and of course Mia is the star ;)
Susan Rambo is looking great! Just love the color in that one...so bright and refreshing! The family pics are great. :) My son usually grows his hair long in the winter and then cuts it short in the summer when he realizes how hot it makes him (he has very thick hair) and I just love how youthful he looks with it short! :D
Susan is just gorgeous! I love the fabric you are stitching her on. I went to the LNS to get fabric for her last week and ended up with Vintage Meadow Rue...took a few stitches in her and it's perfect!
Love all of your family pics and like your son's haircut!
Susan is simply stunning!love the pin cushion.
Susan is looking gorgeous, great progress
Susan Rambo looks so pretty. Love the colors and you are really stitching her up quickly. You go girl:)))

I love your photo journal...never boring! SR is wonderful. Good thing I don't know where you live...that pincushion would come up missing;)
WOW your stitching is so amazing. And that bunny pincushion is just the cutest thing ever!
Susan is so great in those gorgeous colors. You'll probably be sorry when she's done at the same time that you'll be excited!
I'm with Mia on this very hot day in DC.
You could never bore me with anything, I'm sure :o) I just love the pictures your kids took. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
Susan Rambo is, of course, magnificent. As is the pincushion. Fab!

Hi Margaret, love Boy Child's haircut and as for senior pictures it was that way for my children.
Have been catching up with your blog writing and your stitching, the college moving, boy child concert and play and of course darling and sweet little Mia.
Sorry to hear about your swimming pool and the bit of damage to the house - hope the air conditioner is OK.
Take care!!

beautiful sampler, love it!
Dear Margaret, It's been such a long time since I stopped by, you must be in shock! LOL
Susan Rambo is the most beautiful thing I've seen! I have to find the chart! Is it a Scarlet Letter?
You've done an amazing stitching work in that one, Margaret.
Love and hugs, Deb
Ann Sandles by With Thy Needle and Thread is wonderful. I just love Brendas designs. All your samplers are beautiful.
