I was suppose to have this incentive piece finish August 8th. I didn't make it but this is my progress so far. Sarah Salter by Sheepish Designs. The needle books I picked up at the flea market. I think they are cool.
To finish my story about Dillinger. He robbed this bank in Greencastle. Pretty cheeky
since it is adjacent to the Courthourse.
Now here is the story about my family. My aunt Pauline was a night operator above the bank in Roachdale in 1931. You remember when you had to call the operator and she connected you to your party. Probably not, but you see it in the movies like "Road to Perdition." Well her sister Margie was keeping her company that evening when robbers entered the bank with machine guns and dynamite and held them hostage. Scary stuff! and quite something to talk about for a sleepy town of Roachdale. It was speculated that Dillinger did it, some say not. Maybe it was Baby Face Nelson, who knows. The robbers were never caught. Anyway when I was young, I was fascinated by the story. I still am actually.
Another project I am working on is CHS Esther Yeakel. I changed the colors around. Jan helped me convert the colors. Can you tell I like red? I am stitching it on 40ct. Buttercream with NPI.
My last picture is what I am going to do when I get off the Internet. Make salsa and can tomato juice. Yeah! And those bags are full of corn to be cut of the cob. Be still my heart! lol!!! Next until next time- Happy Stitching!
