And They Sinned

Hi everyone, I thought I would share my progress on ATS. It is such a beautiful sampler, I wish I could get it finished and hung on the wall. I forgot to mention the fabric I was using for Susan Rambo in my previous post. It is called Antique Almond by Zweigart. It is a very pretty color.

I felt so sorry for this mother goose. She laid her eggs on the island and with all the heavy rains they were washed away. You can see father goose swimming in the background.


I had another visitor at the pond. One I hadn't seen before so I had to snap a picture of this beauty. I am sorry for the poor picture, I was at least 200 yards from the bird and this was the best picture from my shaking and the rain.





It is mushroom season again in Indiana. Can you believe these morels are selling for $75 a pound? Fungus for major dollars. It must be a good year for them because my neighbor found 17 pounds. Mansfield will be having its annual Mushroom festival this weekend. It is a small festival compared to the Covered Bridge but it is nice to visit the vendors. They sometimes have unusal antiques and folkart items for sale.





Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you soon. Tanya

Sarah Salter

Hi Everyone! I almost have Sarah finished, although I have been saying that for months now. A few more flowers and a little more green leaves and she will be done. My next picture is my new rabbit I bought at a shop in Rockville.


Here you can see my pink feather tree with paper mache rabbits already for Easter. I have been collecting those cute little oil cans too.




Some of my new stash includes Susan Rambo fabric and threads. I can't wait to start her.




That's it for now. My classes are coming to an end for this semester. Yay!, more time for stitching. I gotta go a storm is coming, I can hear the thunder in the distance. We've already had an inch of rain today with a side order of hail. Take care, Tanya
