I acquired some great stash from Panda's Crossing, the local cross-stitch and bead store. Can you tell I like Halloween? I was quite excited about finding the Prairie Schooler patterns. The thread is for several fall Little House Needleworks and Country Cottage Needleworks patterns, and the fabric I bought because I liked it. Last but not least, I also bought Gypsy Mermaid at the retreat.
At the retreat, I worked on Water Lily by Nora Corbett, and I had Nora sign this pattern :) It was great meeting her.
And finally, I finished Water Lily this weekend. She is on Water Lily jobelan, and she took me a little under 2 weeks to stitch.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

I had no idea Nora did retreats either, I've always liked her designs and hope to stitch one someday :) Your fairy is lovely and sparkly, and it's such a cute touch stitching on fabric of the same name!
