Wedding Yesterday

went really well and DH's oldest son was married and he loved this piece I stitched for them. I was so pleased. Here it is. It's Trilogy's Wedding Spots. I also did it for Otey and I.

Do you know what's happening with copyrights?

There is a new blog that I want you all to see. (click the word 'blog'or link is: http://needleworkcopyright.blogspot.com/)

You are going to be hearing a lot about this blog and the writings that will be posted. This is serious so as a designer, I have to ask your help. Fighting copyright infringements takes a lot of man/woman power!

Go to the blog, read it and sign up to follow. Post it to your blogs, your Facebook pages and Twitter. Put it everywhere.

The statistics that will be posted will and should alarm every one of us as illegal uploading and downloading is increasing at a fevered pitch. It is so bad that it threatens the not-too-distant future of our industry.

Please show your support by signing on. And as honest stitchers who pay for your charts, you should be right on the front line with us designers.

Thank you.

I Won!

I won Barb's Stitches blogoversary/birthday giveaway! I am so happy. This is a pretty little package to stitch a lovely fall piece. Sigh... I was feeling a little down today and this really cheered me up.

Thank you Barb!!!

Sad to Say

I just found out that another designer has suffered theft --- yet again. I know in these days of economic challenge it's tempting just to 'share' charts, but that only hurts us all and most of all the original designer.

I know myself, being retired, money is tight. I depend on my very small sales to order stash that I want and could not otherwise have. Other designers depend on their craft to support their household finances.

Let us in a good Christian manner 'do unto others as we would want them to do to us.' Sharing is a good thing, but only if the item belongs to us. Sharing what another sells to make a living is hurtful.

Think about it.

thanks for stopping by -- and --
God Bless You for supporting our needlework craft!

love,
