...May I introduce.... my new love......

~~~Turkey Love~~~

The infamous Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers, has done it again!!! This cute design, with the knobby knee turkeys really caught my eye at the PALS retreat last month..... But, when I got the big 'ole sad face because all the charts were sold out, I guess someone was noticing.... In the mail, a sweet angel gifted me this design and I perked right up and I began my turkey love adventure......

I finished it last night and couldn't wait to show you my turkey delight...
Like many of you, I don't really have many Thanksgiving pieces, so I wanted to pop him in a frame and get things rollin' since Thanksgiving is a mere 12 days away!!

40 ct LL Pecan Butter
npi and Belle Soies as specified

Have you ever taken a journey in your house trying to find the best photo backdrop or angle???  Well, I did that this morning and saw shadows and glares everywhere....
Here's how things went....bear with me....

Went outside, but too much glare...

 Tried laying it flat, but can still see the clouds in the sky in the reflection...

 Oh my!! You can even see the tree and leaves in the reflection of this shot!!That's not going to cut it!


Tried laying him down in the flowers....nope, don't like that angle at all!

So ,I came back inside and found a little better look than those outside shots.....Still have a reflection though....guess I need to take a photography class!~~~

Well, that's it for today guys..... I hope your Sunday is wonderful and you find time for yourself...
It's a beautiful today in the Carolinas and my head cold is so much better...
I may venture outside and breathe in that sweet Fall southern air~~

Faye

PS: Did I mention I had a little something prim on my staging table in the craft room? Well....I do and I can't wait to share its finish with you next week........imagine the smell of pine trees....
you get the picture......

    Faye,

    You are so freaking FAST! I am in awe of how quickly you get projects done and then put a "finish" on them.

    I have to limit my sewing time because of my arthritis and fibromyalgia, which make me so sad. But one of your readers did turn me on to the Virginia retreat to Williamsburg in February and I am going with some kind of ointment and a special crafting glove and I'm going to stitch for three days if it kills me!

    Very, very pretty, as usual. Did you do your own framing?

    That is a wonderful finish Faye - the frame suits it well. I have a tough time taking good photos too. Maybe Paulette will come to the retreat again next year and give a little lesson on photography. :o)

    You stitched that so fast! It's such a sweet design,but I'll be stitching mine for next year. Definitely won't make it to the hoop for this Thanksgiving.

    WOW! You got that done so fast, and so beautifully!! I need to stitch some Thanksgiving pieces too. I only have one little tuck pillow -poor me - LOL!!

    And, yes, I am always looking for an appropriate place to take the pictures. And now, something is up with my camera, and it takes forever between pushing the button and the actual snap - bummers!

    It doesn't matter how you stage the photo - the finish is what counts, and it is great! Glad someone so kind knew you wanted the pattern, as I can see why it was calling your name. Enjoy!

    What a wonderful piece. I just finished up a PSS design too. It is hard to get that "just right" angle when taking a photo of something with glass!

    Your finished piece is absolutely splendid! And photographed beautifully.

    Upon my word, how are you able to finish so quickly? Do you sprinkle pixie dust on your needles?

    Wishing you a delightful week Faye...

    Warmly,
    Judy

    Girl, you are truly the one of flying stitches! It is adorable! I'm with you on those glares. I always notice people saying they have to wait until the can get outside to take pics -- I have a hard enough time INside. Can't wait to see what you have queued up in the craft room... maybe the tree all filled with ornies? Take care!
